Case Laws     Companies Law     HC

HC addressed priority of claims among secured and unsecured creditors in liquidation. Referring to SC precedent, HC upheld first charge holder's priority over second charge holder u/s 48 of Transfer of Property Act. Despite Companies Act not specifying priorities over mortgaged assets, HC affirmed Transfer of Property Act's application. Recovery officer's report aligned with HC's order, rejecting objections. HC directed Official Liquidator to release Rs. 9.5 Crores to recovery officer for distribution to certificate holders, retaining workers' dues. Application disposed of within fifteen working days.
