It is submitted that the MSC bank can claim interest only upto the date of appointment of liquidator on 15.5.2002. Such a proposition is advanced, by relying upon Section 91 of the MCS Act. A small balance-sheet is given to indicate that the amount of Rs. 29 crores and odd is available at the disposal of the sick sugar factory against its total debt of nearly about 38 crores. According to Advocate Shri Chandak, the sick factory is thus in debt only to the tune of Rs. 9.00 crores as against other sick sugar factories which are indebted to the tune of Rs. 50 crores and odd and yet neither the MSC bank nor the State Government has taken any steps against those factories. According to Advocate Shri Chandak, sick sugar factory is covered under NABARD scheme in category "A" as it can earn Rs. 1.05 crores by leasing it out and can repay the remaining debts within few years. It is also pointed out that one Seven Star Distilleries is now ready to purchase the assets of the sick factory for Rs. 27.00 crores. Therefore, if the sale of sick sugar factory is the only option, in that case,fresh tenders may be called.
