NCLAT affirmed the Liquidator's classification of the Appellant as an Unsecured Financial Creditor. The tribunal found no error in the Liquidator's decision to admit only the principal amount of Rs. 30 crores without interest, given the absence of clear interest provisions in the investment agreement. Critical to the ruling was the lack of registered charge or security interest documentation, which precluded the Appellant's claim as a Secured Financial Creditor. The court emphasized that statutory requirements for charge registration and security documentation were not met, rendering the Appellant's arguments unsustainable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the original classification and claim determination.
