Affidavit in support of summons for leave to disclaim a lease

I, the (Official) Liquidator of the said company, do solemnly affirm and say as follows :-

The above-named company (hereinafter referred to as the company) was order to be
wound up by this Court by order dated……………………..19…………(or the above-named company resolved by a resolution passed on…………that it should be wound up voluntarily, and I was appointed Liquidator for the purpose of the winding up).
By a lease dated the………………days of………….19…………, made
between……………………..of the one part and the company of the other part, the said………………………demised unto the company all that (specify shortly the premises leased and the, rent, mentioning any special covenants. The said lease [The original or a certified copy of the lease to be produced.] is now produced and shown to me marked 'A'.
The premises so demised to the company were used by them for the purposes of
(specify what) but have not been occupied or used by the company since the month of………………..19………….(etc., as the case may be), nor there are any goods and chattels of the company thereon.
I have/have not endeavoured to sell the said lease. Having regard to the rent payable
and the terms thereof, the lease is not a profitable one. I have/have not entered into possession of the premises thereby demised or exercised any act of ownership in relation thereto (or, as the case may be).
The said lease is of no benefit to the company, its creditors or shareholders, and to the
best of my knowledge, information and belief there are no persons interested in the said lease except the company and……….the lessors as aforesaid (or, as the case may be, and state any advantages sought to be attained by the disclaimer, how it would affect other people, etc.).
(If the 'disclaimer' is out of time, facts in explanation on which the Court may be
properly asked to extend the time should be stated).
[On the………………….19………….., I received a notice from
………….Of……………..requiring me to say whether or not it was my intention to
disclaim the said contract. The notice is hereto annexed, marked ...................................
On the…………………day of……………..19………., within 28 days of the receipt of the said notice (or if the Court has extended the time, and, by leave of the Court notwithstanding that 28 days had elapsed since the receipt by me of the said notice) I gave notice to the said…………….of my intention to make this application to the Court. A copy of the said notice is hereto annexed and marked………………]
The assets of the company are insufficient to meet the claims of the creditors (or, as the
case may be).
In these circumstances, I ask for leave to disclaim the said lease, and the
said…………should be allowed to prove for the loss suffered by reason of the said disclaimer alongwith the other creditors.
