RIGHTS OF ALLOTTEE AFTER THE DECREE BY RERA

 

For informative and educative purposes only

 

Order XXI Rule 30 of the CPC lays down the mode of execution of a money decree. According to this provision, a money decree may be executed by the detention of judgment-debtor in civil prison, or by the attachment or sale of his property, or by both.

 

Section 40 "Recovery of interest or penalty or compensation and enforcement of order, etc" - The Real Estate (Regulation and Development Act, 2016)

(1) If a promoter or an allottee or a real estate agent, as the case may be, fails to pay any interest or penalty or compensation imposed on him, by the adjudicating officer or the Regulatory Authority or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, under this Act or the rules and regulations made thereunder, it shall be recoverable from such promoter or allottee or real estate agent, in such manner as may be prescribed as an arrears of land revenue.

(2) If any adjudicating officer or the Regulatory Authority or the Appellate Tribunal, as the case may be, issues any order or directs any person to do any act, or refrain from doing any act, which it is empowered to do under this Act or the rules or regulations made thereunder, then in case of failure by any person to comply with the same shall be enforced, in such manner as may be prescribed.

 

Section 40 of the ‘Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016’ lays down the mode of execution by providing that the RERA may order to recover the amount due under the Recovery Certificate by the concerned Authority as an arrear of land revenue.  Hence the request to RERA has to be to kindly conduct the recovery proceedings against the Corporate Debtor which should then get culminated in issuance of Recovery Certificate and passing of order under Section 40 of the ‘Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016’ directing the concerned Authority to recover decretal amount of from the Corporate Debtor as an arrear of land revenue.

The answer to the question whether a decree-holder would fall within the definition of ‘Financial Creditor’ has to be an emphatic ‘No’ as the amount claimed under the decree is an adjudicated amount and not a debt disbursed

 

For informative and educative purposes only

 

 A ‘decree-holder’ is undoubtedly covered by the definition of

‘Creditor’ under Section 3(10) of the ‘I&B Code’ but would not fall within the class of creditors classified as ‘Financial Creditor’ unless the debt was disbursed against the consideration for time value of money or falls within any of the clauses thereof as the definition of ‘financial debt’ is inclusive in character. A ‘decree’ is defined under Section 2(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (“CPC” for short) as the formal expression of an adjudication which conclusively determines the rights of the parties with regard to the matters in controversy in a lis. A ‘decree-holder’, defined under Section 2(3) of the same Code means any person in whose favour a decree has been passed or an order capable of execution has been made. Order XXI Rule 30 of the CPC lays down the mode of execution of a money decree. According to this provision, a money decree may be executed by the detention of judgment-debtor in civil prison, or by the attachment or sale of his property, or by both.

 

Section 40 of the ‘Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016’lays down the mode of execution by providing that the RERA may order to recover the amount due under the Recovery Certificate by the concerned Authority as an arrear of land revenue. In the instant case, RERA has conducted the recovery proceedings at the instance of Respondent Nos.1 & 2 against the Corporate Debtor which culminated in issuance of Recovery Certificate and passing of order under Section 40 of the ‘Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016’ directing the concerned Authority to recover amount of Rs.73,35,686.43/- from the Corporate Debtor as an arrear of land revenue. As already stated elsewhere in this Judgment, Respondent Nos.1 & 2 instead of pursuing the matter before the Competent Authority sought triggering of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Corporate Debtor resulting in passing of the impugned order of admission which has been assailed in the instant appeal. The answer to the question whether a decree-holder would fall within the definition of ‘Financial Creditor’ has to be an emphatic ‘No’ as the amount claimed under the decree is an adjudicated amount and not a debt disbursed against the consideration for the time value of money and does not fall within the ambit of any of the clauses enumerated under Section 5(8) of the ‘I&B Code’.

Dear Members,

 

The Hon’ble H-REAT court in the recent case of-

Godrej Premium Builders Pvt. Ltd. V/s Avtar Singh

Held that impugned orders are without jurisdiction, so the appellants have a strong prima facie case in their favour. This Tribunal is satisfied that the entire purpose of filing the present appeal shall be frustrated by ordering the appellants to first deposit the awarded amount as a pre-condition for the entertainment of the present appeal. The case in hand is a deserving case where the appellants are entitled for the complete waiver of the condition of pre deposit as the impugned order being prima facie without jurisdiction.

All the best,

God bless u all
