Eviction Of Tenant From Corporate Debtor's Property Can Be Sought Under Tenancy Law, Not U/S 60(5) Of IBC: NCLAT

Live Law  

The NCLAT New Delhi bench of Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain and Mr. Naresh Salecha has held that eviction of tenant from the property of corporate debtor can only be sought under the Act in which tenancy was created and such power of eviction cannot be exercised by the Adjudicating Authority under Section 60 of the Code. The Tribunal while referring to Section 18 and Section 25 of the Code observed that it is the duty of the IRP/RP to take immediate custody of all the assets of the CD, therefore, the property in question has to be repossessed by him after eviction of the present appellants and also held that the provisions of Section 238 shall prevail over and above the provisions of the Act by which the tenancy of the Appellants has been protected. Vs. State of Karnataka, the Supreme Court held that “wherever the corporate debtor has to exercise a right that falls outside the purview of the IBC, 2016 especially in the realm of the public law, they cannot, through the resolution professional, take a bypass and go before NCLT for the enforcement of such a right.” The tribunal also noted that in Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. Vs. Amit Gupta & Ors., the Supreme Court held that “considering the text of Section 60 and the interpretation of similar provisions in other insolvency related statutes, NCLT has jurisdiction to adjudicate disputes, which arise solely from or which relate to the insolvency of the Corporate Debtor.
