NCLAT dismissed the appeal filed by a central excise authority claiming secured creditor status for recovery of Central Excise Duty and Service Tax dues under Section 11E of the Central Excise Act, 1944. The tribunal held that the appellant could not be treated as a secured creditor within the meaning of Section 53 of the IBC, distinguishing the Supreme Court's decision in Rainbow Papers which recognized state tax officers as secured creditors under specific VAT legislation creating security interests by operation of law. The tribunal emphasized that creation of security interest is sine qua non for secured creditor status, and rejected the appellant's claim for parity with state GST departments, noting that Section 11E does not create equivalent security interests as Section 48 of Gujarat VAT Act or Section 55 of Odisha VAT Act.
