Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in validating the sale deed without considering the interests of secured and unsecured creditors as mandated by the Companies Act. The Court emphasized the necessity of evaluating the list of assets held by the company in liquidation and the implications of the winding-up proceedings on the transaction. The Court restored the application for validation to the Company Court for a fresh decision, allowing Indian Bank to be heard and to make an application for impleadment, while maintaining the status quo regarding possession of the property until the matter is resolved.
