https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=165462 Section 5 of the Madhya Pradesh Sahayata Upkram (Vishesh Upbandh) Adhiniyam, 1978 operates as an overriding temporary moratorium protecting a relief undertaking from decrees, orders and other legal proceedings during the notified period. The Supreme Court read the word "decree" as covering even a valid decree obtained from outside the State and held that "other legal proceedings" is wide enough to include execution petitions. Execution of a transferred decree was therefore capable of suspension without impeaching the decree's validity. The protection was also held to extend beyond pre-notification debts, because the statutory language and object were to shield the undertaking from litigation generally for the duration of the notification. en-us Wed, 06 May 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 08:44:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=165462 Section 5 of the Madhya Pradesh Sahayata Upkram (Vishesh Upbandh) Adhiniyam, 1978 operates as an overriding temporary moratorium protecting a relief undertaking from decrees, orders and other legal proceedings during the notified period.
