(1) The Liquidator shall conduct an examination: provided that, the Tribunal may, if for any reasons it thinks fit to do so, entrust the conduct of the examination to any partner or creditors.

(2) Where the conduct of the examination is entrusted to any person other than the Liquidator, the Liquidator shall nevertheless be entitled to be present at the examination in person or by advocate or by authorized representative, and may take notice of the examination for his own use and put such questions to the person examined as the Tribunal may allow.

(3) Save as provided in sub-rules (1) and (2), no person shall be entitled to take part in an examination except the Liquidator and his advocate, but any person examined shall be entitled to have the assistance of his advocate, who may re-examine the witness:

Provided that the Tribunal may permit, if it thinks fit, any creditor or partner to attend the examination subject to such conditions as it may impose.

(4) Notes of the examination may be permitted to be taken by the witness or any person on his behalf on his giving an undertaking to the Tribunal that such notes shall be used only for the purpose of the re-examination of the witness. On the conclusion of the examination, the notes shall, unless otherwise directed, be handed over to the Tribunal for destruction.
