Since the amount was not paid to the respondent-petitioner despite such statement, the petitioner filed the present petition, seeking direction on the appellant-Corporation to pay him the balance of the amount out of the money realized from the sale of the property in question. The appellant-Corporation contested the petition, contending that as the respondent-petitioner had failed to make payment of the loan, it had exercised its power under Section 29(1) of the said Act and took over the possession of the assets of the petitioner's unit. Thereafter, by issuing an advertisement, the unit was sold on 26.11.1981 to the highest offerer for a sum of ₹ 7,50,000/-. As no purchaser .....

Under Section 29 of the said Act, in the event of default committed by the industrial concern in repayment of any loan or advance or any instalment thereof, there is a right in the Financial Corporation to take over the management or possession or both of the industrial concern as well as the right to transfer by way of lease or sale and realise the property pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or assigned to the Financial Corporation.

The property is realized and the amount, for which it is sold, would be the money, which is `received' by the Corporation within the meaning of that expression in sub-section (4) of Section 29. In fact, the appellant-Corporation itself had treated the amount of consideration of ₹ 7,50,000/-, for which the property was sold, as `money received' by it, because, after accepting one-third of that amount, it had treated the rest of it as if it was a loan advanced by the Corporation to the purchaser.

Thus, when the Corporation itself treated the remaining amount as if it was `money received' by it, on which, ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
