257. Where the LLP has no available assets.

Where a LLP against which a winding up order has been made has no available assets, the Liquidator may, with the leave of the Tribunal, incur any necessary expenses in connection with the winding up out of any permanent advance or other fund provided by the Central Government or the Tribunal, and the expenses so incurred shall be recouped out of the assets of the LLP in priority to the debts of the LLP:

Provided that where any money has been advanced to the Liquidator by the petitioning or other creditor or partner for meeting any preliminary expenses in connection with the winding-up, the Liquidator may incur any necessary expenses out of such amount, and the money so advanced shall be paid out of the assets of the LLP in priority to the debts of the LLP.
