The Tamil Nadu Protection of Interests of Depositors Act (TNPID Act), 1997, is a special enactment intended to protect depositors' rights and provide a mechanism for disbursement of assets of the accused, apart from punishing them. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016, overrides inconsistent provisions in other laws, as per Section 238. However, the Madras High Court held that the TNPID Act's purpose, upheld by the Supreme Court despite marginal encroachment into Central legislations, cannot be ignored. The Court ruled that the NCLT order declaring attachments under the TNPID Act null and void was contrary to settled principles of law. The State's sovereign power and duty to protect public interest through the TNPID Act was reiterated, allowing the petition.
