The Supreme Court, in its judgment dated 4 August in the matter of Dena Bank (now Bank of Baroda) v C Shivkumar Reddy and Anr, has held that a certificate of recovery, if not satisfied, will constitute a fresh cause of action for recovery of debt, and an application filed under section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, is maintainable.
The court held that a judgment and/or decree for money in favour of the financial creditor, passed by the debt recovery tribunal or any other tribunal or court, or the issuance of a certificate of recovery in favour of the financial creditor, would give rise to a fresh cause of action for the financial creditor to initiate proceedings under section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC).
