Landlord cannot recover premises used as corporate debtor's registered office during insolvency moratorium period

The SC dismissed appeals in a case involving recovery of premises used as registered office of a corporate debtor by landlord during CIRP moratorium. The NCLAT had held that the Adjudicating Authority failed to adjudicate on the Resolution Professional's prayer for restoration of possession, which should have been done to settle the dispute early. The SC found no grounds to interfere with the NCLAT judgment and dismissed the appeals.

The Court found "no good ground and reason to interfere with the impugned judgment," and consequently, the appeals were dismissed. All pending applications were disposed of.
