The Registrar erred in granting the petitioner's oral application for extension of time and re-advertisement without giving the respondent an opportunity to be heard, violating rules of natural justice and procedural requirements under the Companies (Winding Up) Rules, 1929. The failure to comply with the rules was a fundamental irregularity, and the Registrar's orders were set aside. The petition was dismissed for non-compliance with Rule 32.
