Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether execution proceedings under the Consumer Protection Act can be stayed during an interim moratorium under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The case involved penalties imposed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission for failure to deliver possession, and the appellant sought a stay citing an ongoing insolvency application. The Court analyzed the interplay between the Consumer Protection Act and IBC provisions, ultimately ruling on the maintainability of stay orders during insolvency moratoriums. The judgment clarified the scope of stay during insolvency proceedings in consumer disputes.
