When Secured Creditor fails to comply Regulation 21A, the asset which is subjected to security interest shall become part of the liquidation estate – ICICI Bank Ltd. Vs. MBS Impex Pvt. Ltd. – NCLT Hyderabad Bench

NCLT Hyderabad Bench held that:
(i) On perusal of the Regulation 21A of IBBI Liquidation Process Regulations, 2016, it is clear that, when the secured creditor fails to comply the said Regulation 21A, the asset which is subjected to security interest shall become part of the liquidation asset. Admittedly, the secured applicant failed to realize the value of the secured asset within 180 days. Therefore, Sub-Rule 3 of Regulation 21A of IBBI Liquidation Process Regulation, 2016 comes into force.
(ii) On perusal of the application, it did not disclose any tenable reason for extension of time. Here it may be stated that like Resolution, Liquidation is also time bound and any delay in liquidation results in deterioration of the asset value, which will not be in the interests of the lenders and all other stake holders. Therefore, under the circumstances the application being devoid of merit or substance is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the same is hereby dismissed with no costs.
