Last updated: 26 August 2021
Quick Summary
In a significant ruling, the Bombay High Court has affirmed that a secured creditor holds priority over the Income Tax Department concerning dues from a borrower. The court accepted the argument that the secured creditor, Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Co. Ltd., had a valid prior charge over the borrower's assets.
