The latter did not meet the loan obligations and therefore, the creditor moved the Rajasthan high court. It held that the petition was not maintainable because it was moved under the repealed law. IIBIL therefore appealed to the Supreme Court. It overruled the high court. It stated that the provisions of the 1997 Act made it clear that any cause of action which arose before 1997 and pursued by IRBI could be continued and enforced by IIBIL.

It is observed that many a time, names of Directors of various firms/companies are similar. It is, therefore, necessary to ensure that Directors are correctly identified and in no case, names appearing to be similar to the names of Directors appearing in the list of defaulting borrowers are wrongfully denied credit facilities on such grounds. To avoid such situations, it has been decided that the Director Identification Number (DIN) may be included as one of the fields in the data format submitted by State and Central Co-operative Banks to credit information companies. Such provision of DIN will further ensure that the data relating to credit information is accurate and complete.
