Issues: Whether a secured creditor whose security interest was registered with CERSAI before the State Tax Authorities' attachment and property-card entry had priority over the State tax claim and was entitled to deletion of the encumbrance, with the State Tax Authorities having only a claim to any surplus sale proceeds after satisfaction of the secured debt.
Analysis: Chapter IV-A of the SARFAESI Act, 2002, particularly Sections 26-B to 26-E, establishes a statutory scheme for registration of security interests and attachment orders with CERSAI and gives priority to a registered secured creditor over other debts, taxes, cesses and local authority dues. Once the petitioner's mortgage and charge were registered in 2015, and the State Tax Authorities' attachment and property-card entry came much later, the petitioner's registered security interest prevailed. The State Tax Authorities could not continue to assert an encumbrance against the secured asset after enforcement of the security interest, though any surplus remaining after appropriation by the secured creditor would belong to the State Tax Authorities and not to the borrowers.
Conclusion: The secured creditor's prior registered security interest prevailed over the State tax claim, the encumbrance was liable to be removed, and the State Tax Authorities were entitled only to the surplus, if any, after the secured debt was satisfied.
