The court held the DGI acted illegally, irrationally and with procedural impropriety in purporting to discharge the deceased bankrupt under Section 33A read with Section 33B(2A) because the DGI reversed and undermined prior court decisions directing further investigation, failed to take into account relevant considerations and ongoing asset discovery proceedings, and thus the decision was quashed; Section 33B(2A) does not license automatic discharge or preclude judicial review in the face of illegality.
