173 Notice of first or other meeting to the officers of LLP

173. Notice of first or other meeting to the officers of LLP.

(1) In a winding up by the Tribunal, the Liquidator shall also give to each of the officers of the LLP, who in his opinion ought to attend the first or any other meeting of creditors, fourteen days’ notice of the time and place appointed for such meeting and the notice may either by delivered personally or sent by registered or speed post or other modes as specified in rule 15 of the Limited Liability Partnership Rules 2009 as may be convenient.

(2) It shall be the duty of every officer who receives notice of such meeting to attend if so required by the Liquidator, and if any such officer fails to attend the Liquidator may report such failure to the Tribunal. Such notice shall be in Form No.56.

(3) The Liquidator, if he thinks fit, may, instead of requiring any of the officer of the LLP to attend the meeting under sub-rule (1), require such officer to answer any interrogatories or to furnish in writing any information that he may require for purposes of such meeting, and if such officer fails to answer the interrogatories or furnish such information, he shall report such failure to the Tribunal.
