The court held that the Assignment Agreement is a registered document, and by virtue of Section 5(2) of the SARFAESI Act, 2002, the assignee, Phoenix Arc Pvt. Ltd., is entitled to prosecute and enforce all pending applications, appeals, and legal proceedings, including the Section 7 application filed by L&T Finance Ltd. The deeming clause in Section 5(2) protects and entitles Phoenix Arc Pvt. Ltd. to prosecute the Section 7 application.

The appeal was dismissed by the NCLAT (Appellate Tribunal).....
