The said receiver is in the process of selling the movable assets of the respondent charged to the applicant. That the applicant wishes to sell the charged property which is valued for Kshs.13,548,000/= under forced sale.

The applicants have received an offer to by private treaty for Kshs.30,500,000/=.

Having examined the applicants charge particularly Clause 5 and 6, I am satisfied that the applicants can sell the charged property by private treaty.

(1) That INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LIMITED is hereby granted leave to sell by private treaty Title Number NEW LARI TRADING CENTRE/78.
