Pr. CIT Vs Monnet Ispat and Energy Ltd. (Superme Court of India)
Given Section 238 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, it is obvious that the Code will override anything inconsistent contained in any other enactment, including the Income-Tax Act.
We may also refer in this Connection to Dena Bank vs. Bhikhabhai Prabhudas Parekh and Co. & Ors. (2000) 5 SCC 694 and its progeny, making it clear that income-tax dues, being in the nature of Crown debts, do not take precedence even over secured creditors, who are private persons.
We are of the view that the High Court of Delhi, is, therefore, correct in law.
Accordingly, the Special Leave Petitions are dismissed. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
