Where there is a great deal of pressure from creditors and the property is sold in order to pay the creditors out of the sale proceeds obtained and the proceeds of the sale are earmarked for the payment of particular debts for which pressure is the greatest and if creditors who are not so provided are delayed it would merely be a case of fraudulent preference which could be impugned only under the law relating to insolvency and not as a fraud on creditors for which S. 53 of TP Act makes provision.

AIR 1963 SUPREME COURT 1150 "C. Abdul Shukoor Saheb v. Arji Papa Rao"
J K Agrawal (Expert) 14 December 2008
The provisions of insolvency act supersedes the provisions of TP act. As such if a person fails to take an action under insolvency act he can not take recourse of TP Act.

The provisions to T P act is to prevent actually from BENAMI transactions. Now Benami transactions are prohibited by a separate Act Benami Transactions Prohibition Act so the provision of S 53 is no more useful. In 1882 when the Act was enacted, this provision was very important.
