the mines and, therefore, subject to nationalisation under
the Coal mines (Nationalisation) Act, cannot be in dispute
not only having regard to the decision of the Commissioner
of Payments, but also the definition of the word in the Act
and the decisions of this court more particularly the
decision in Bharat Cooking Coal Ltd. .vs. Madanlal
Agrawal reported in 1997(1) SCC 177 construing the
definition. As such on the nationalisation of the two coal
mines, the hypothecated assets vested in the appellants free
from encumbrances in terms of section 6 of the Coal mines
(Nationalisation) Act. To the extent that the respondent
no.1 has any claim against the private respondents in
respect of the hypothecated goods, the respondent no.1
must seek for recovery of the same by pursuing its remedy
under Section 20 of the Act before the Commissioner of
Payments or by such other method which may in law be
available to it. No decree could have been passed against
the appellants for nor are they obliged to meet the
liabilities of the private respondents."
