Issues:
Possession of office premises, Rent payment, Municipal taxes dues

Analysis:

1. Possession of office premises:
The applicant filed an application seeking directions for the Official Liquidator to hand over peaceful possession of the office premises situated in Ahmedabad. The Official Liquidator had taken symbolic possession of the premises after the company in liquidation failed to appear on the scheduled day. However, it was later revealed that the property did not belong to the company in liquidation but to the applicant. The Official Liquidator agreed to remove the seal and notice from the premises, and the Court directed the Official Liquidator to do so within ten days, thereby releasing the premises from the custody of the Court.

2. Rent payment:
The applicant requested the Court to direct the Official Liquidator to pay rent for the period they had possession of the office premises. However, considering the ownership issue and the Official Liquidator's agreement to remove the seal and notice, the applicant decided not to press for rent payment. The Court, therefore, did not pass any specific order regarding rent payment.

3. Municipal taxes dues:
Similarly, the applicant also sought a direction for the Official Liquidator to pay the Municipal Taxes dues for the period they held possession of the office premises. However, as the ownership matter was clarified, and the Official Liquidator agreed to release the premises, the applicant did not press for this prayer as well. Consequently, the Court did not issue any specific order regarding the payment of Municipal Taxes dues.

In conclusion, the Court directed the Official Liquidator to remove the seal and notice from the office premises within ten days, thereby releasing the premises from the Court's custody. As the applicant withdrew the requests for rent payment and Municipal Taxes dues in light of the ownership clarification, no further orders were deemed necessary, and the application was disposed of accordingly.
