Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code | Pioneer Urban Land and Infrastructure Ltd. v. Union of India, W.P. (C) No. 43 of 2019 09-08-2019 SC

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA R.F. Nariman, Sanjiv Khanna & Surya Kant, JJ. W.P. (C) No. 43 of 2019 09-08-2019

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - Section 5 (8) (f) - Insolvency Committee Report 2018 - Allottees / home buyers were included in the main provision, i.e. Section 5(8)(f) with effect from the inception of the Code, the explanation being added in 2018 merely to clarify doubts that had arisen.

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - Section 5 (8) (f) - The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Second Amendment) Act, 2018 - Constitutional Validity of - The Amendment Act to the Code does not infringe Articles 14, 19(1)(g) read with Article 19(6), or 300-A of the Constitution of India.



The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 - The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - The Consumer Protection Act, 1986

The RERA is to be read harmoniously with the Code, as amended by the Amendment Act. It is only in the event of conflict that the Code will prevail over the RERA. Remedies that are given to allottees of flats/apartments are therefore concurrent remedies, such allottees of flats/apartments being in a position to avail of remedies under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, RERA as well as the triggering of the Code.



The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - Section 5 (8) (f) - “Financial Debt” - Meaning of.

Section 5(8)(f) as it originally appeared in the Code being a residuary provision, always subsumed within it allottees of flats / apartments. The explanation together with the deeming fiction added by the Amendment Act is only clarificatory of this position in law.

Presumptions are the Bats of the Law, Flitting in the Twilight, but Disappearing in the Sunshine of Actual Facts [ORDER]

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 -  Section 138 -  failure on the part of the complainant to produce his account statement and absence of entry in accounts maintained by him regarding loan advanced to the accused, does show that there was no material to support the basic facts on which the entire case of the complainant was based. Sufficient material was available on record    whereby the defence of the accused became probable. In such a situation, the presumption under the provisions of the Act ceased to operate and the burden fell upon the complainant to prove his case, which he failed to do by placing on record cogent evidence.
