The operational creditor appellant sought preference over respondent financial creditor, arguing respondent's related party status should lower its priority under Section 53 IBC. NCLAT held Section 53(1) clearly establishes financial debts to unsecured creditors rank higher than operational debts, with operational creditors falling under remaining debts category. Related party status affects voting rights and representation in Committee of Creditors under Section 21, not liquidation distribution priority. The distinction between financial and operational debts, upheld by SC in Swiss Ribbon, remains valid regardless of related party relationships in asset distribution. en-us Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Sep 2024 09:54:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=759060 NCLAT Principal Bench dismissed appellant's challenge to asset distribution priority.
