(Reuters) -- China's Shimao Group said on Monday that the High Court in Hong Kong dismissed a petition seeking the liquidation of the embattled property developer.

The petition was file by China Construction Bank (Asia) in April over Shimao's failure to repay loans of HK$1.58 billion ($203.06 million). It was a rare case of a state-owned bank taking such legal action during the property downturn.
