[Gmsh] How to avoid creating defaultFaces in gmsh to OpenFoam conversion?

[SAHA, SUDIPTA]

Hello
I am generating 3D mesh in gmsg from command line in terminal. In the script I am adding following lines for 3D meshing:

Mesh.Algorithm = 2;
Mesh.Algorithm3D = 4;
Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFactor = 0.01;
Mesh 3;
Mesh.MshFileVersion=2.2;
Save "SNF_01.msh";

Now
when I do gmshToFoam, I can see some additional boundary patches are created named as defaultFaces. In constant/polymesh/boundary I can see
defaultFaces
    {
       type            patch;
       nFaces          4682;
        startFace       41763839;
    }

I have run checkMesh utility, at it all seems fine. But OpenFoam does not like this default faces being created. So is there any way I can generate mesh file from gmsh that does not produce defaultFaces when I do mesh conversion in OpenFOAM?
