Adjudicating Authority has no jurisdiction to decide the claim or counter claim with regard to other parties – M/s Dynepro Private Limited Vs. Mr. V. Nagarajan-NCLAT

In the present case the dispute relating to claim and counter claim as made by one or other parties, is brought to our notice by the Resolution Professional. The Resolution Professional while held that the material belongs to the Corporate Debtor, apart from the Appellants, other parties have also made claim that the same very material belongs to them. As the claim is not against the Corporate Debtor or its subsidiaries but includes inter-se claim for the same very material, such dispute cannot be decided by the Adjudicating Authority under Sub-section (5) of Section 60of the I&B Code. It is only after completion of the period of moratorium and it is finally decided that the material belongs to the Corporate Debtor and order is accordingly passed, it is open to the persons to file a suit before appropriate forum claiming right and title over the material in question and for filing such suit claiming right over the material the moratorium period has to be excluded for the purpose of counting the period of limitation.
