Employment of special staff requires Tribunal sanction and contractual appointments from specified retired personnel. Rule 272 requires the Liquidator to apply to the Tribunal for sanction before employing special or additional staff; the Tribunal may approve staff and set salaries and allowances. Such staff should be ex servicemen or, if unavailable, persons retired from Central or State Governments, autonomous bodies, or public sector undertakings. Appointments are contractual and terminate on dissolution of the LLP or after five years, whichever is earlier, requiring fresh contracts if services are taken for another LLP.
