Randhawa Group of Companies is the subject of a court-appointed receivership commenced October 18, 2024 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) under s. 243 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and provincial Judicature Act authority, court file BK-24-03014702-0031. The file is closed. Among the claims dealt with was one advanced by Rana, a shareholder, delivered by affidavit served November 22, 2024 by Rana's counsel in respect of amounts allegedly owed by 1542300 Ontario Inc., which operated as ASR Transportation. The Trustee was unable to accept the proof of claim on the information provided: cheques did not align with deposits in ASR's bank accounts, claimed salary amounts did not match ASR's financial records, and $185,000 in distributions made to Rana in May 2019 were unsupported by documentation of their nature. The claim was filed after the October 31, 2021 claims bar date, of which Rana had notice.
A claims procedure has been established — see the order for deadlines.
Per the Claims Procedure Order dated September 16, 2021 dated 16 September 2021.

| Unsecured | Rana (shareholder claimant)Disputed: the Trustee is unable to accept the proof of claim based on the information provided — cheques do not align with deposits in ASR's bank accounts, claimed salary amounts do not match ASR's financial records, and substantial distributions ($185,000 in May 2019) were made to Rana without documentation of their nature. Filed after the claims bar date in the Receivership Proceedings (October 31, 2021), of which Rana had notice. Related party: Rana is one of the shareholders in this proceeding. A proof of claim is a creditor asserting a debt, not an adjudicated one. — debtor: 1542300 Ontar | — | Supplement to Second Report of the Trustee Dated November 26, 2024 |
“not stated” means the record names the claim without a figure; “—” means not in the extracted record.
This proceeding was commenced by a secured creditor. The record does not include the debtor’s own statement of assets and liabilities — that ceiling is the record’s, not this page’s.

Each row is one filing's statement, copied as it reads and never computed. "Estimated" is the officer's forecast; "Under the plan" is the plan's or proposal's own term; "Final" is a declared or paid distribution; a row with no chip states no footing. A range is the two numbers stated; "of proven claims" is the document's own denominator.
