Hence, the Pipe Line could not be transferred in favour of the Corporate Debtor. The Financial Creditor has granted and disbursed the loan on the condition of transfer of the Pipe Line. The title of the Pipe Line still remain with ESIL. The loan was granted and disbursed only on the ground that the Corporate Debtor will earn rental on the Pipe Line and will as pay loan.

Since the Corporate Debtor did not get possession of the Pipe Line and rent therefrom, how the Corporate Debtor can be made to repay loan. 11. Here, in this case I am not required to enter into controversy as to who is the owner of the Pipe Line. It is not within jurisdiction of this Authority. I have to see whether IDBI Bank (i.e. Financial Creditor) owned any debt to be paid by the Corporate Debtor and whether Corporate Debtor committed default in paying the debt of the Financial Creditor more than ₹ 1,00,000/-(One Lakh). 12.
