The HC held that upon sale of the corporate debtor in liquidation as a going concern on a "clean state" basis, all pre-sale dues stand frozen and are extinguished, with creditors' entitlements confined to the Section 53 waterfall; accordingly liability of Petitioner No.1 for tax, interest and penalty for periods prior to the sale cannot be adjudicated outside the insolvency framework.
