What is the difference between Sec. 531 & Sec. 531A ?
 
I mean Sec. 531A says that transaction shall be void against the Liquidator. I am having two doubts- 
 
1.What is the meaning of void against Liquidator. ?
 
2. From reading both sections it appears that both are same. Is sec 531A a special case of Sec 531 ? If yes, how ?
