Issues: Whether the assignee of the financial asset was entitled to be substituted and to continue the pending Section 7 proceeding, and whether the assignment agreement could be impounded or the substitution rejected on the ground of insufficient stamping.
Analysis: The assignment agreement was a registered document and the acquisition of the financial asset attracted the statutory scheme under Section 5 of the SARFAESI Act, 2002. The deeming effect of Section 5(2) vested the lender's rights in the assignee, and Section 5(4) enabled the pending proceeding to be continued and prosecuted by the assignee. The objection based on stamping did not displace the statutory consequence flowing from the registered assignment, and no error was shown in the refusal to impound the document or in permitting substitution.
Conclusion: The assignee was entitled to prosecute the pending proceeding, and the refusal to impound the assignment agreement was upheld against the appellant.
