Motion the issue that arises is the maintainability of the Insolvency Notices on the ground that they are based on recovery certificates issued by the Debt Recovery Tribunal ("DRT").
2. Mr. Patil, learned counsel for the Defendant No.3 in one of the Insolvency Petitions being Insolvency Petition No.40 of 2005 would submit that a Single Bench as well as the Division Bench of this Court have held that Insolvency Notices based on recovery certificates issued by the DRT are not maintainable in as much as recovery certificates are not decrees of the Court. Learned counsel would submit that this issue is pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and therefore, all these matters had been adjourned sine die. Mr. Patil also informs the Court that although the issue is pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, there is no stay on the judgment of the this Court and therefore, appropriate orders can be passed.
3. List these matters on 6th February, 2024, for the learned counsel for the parties to furnish the judgments of this Court so that appropriate orders can be passed by this Court.
