Issues: Whether the secured creditor has priority over the State revenue claim in respect of the secured assets, and whether Section 26 of the Himachal Pradesh Value Added Tax Act, 2005 yields to Section 26E of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 and Section 31B of the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993.
Analysis: The petition was disposed of by applying the earlier on the same legal question. The issue was confined to inter se priority between the secured creditor and the State, and not to any separate dispute between the bank and the private borrowers. The statutory scheme recognised the secured creditor's priority over the debts due to the State, and the State could not claim first charge over the secured assets in the face of the later special provisions conferring priority on secured creditors.
Conclusion: The secured creditor has priority over the State in respect of the secured assets, and Section 26 of the Himachal Pradesh Value Added Tax Act, 2005 gives way to Section 26E of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 and Section 31B of the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993.
Ratio Decidendi: Statutory provisions conferring priority on secured creditors override the State's revenue claim and first charge in respect of secured assets.
