Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interplay between the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. The Court held that the BIFR's recommendation for winding up under Section 20(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies Act was valid due to the failure of rehabilitation schemes and the company's inability to recover its net worth. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the orders of the BIFR and AAIFR.
