Sir,
I'm in trouble and please advice me. I gave 20 Lacs Loan to my relative and received promissory note. As I pressurised him to return money, he transferred his 3 properties(house and two agricultural lands) as "gift settlement" to his daughter, giving nothing to his 2 sons.
I filed money recovery case against him and he received summons. He is yet to file the written statement. Now he has applied for insolvency, stating that he is farming in LEASED lands and unable to pay his debts as his crops died due to failed monsoon, listed me and 3 other creditors. He did not list his 3 properties.
what is the best action to take now?
1) In reply to his IP, pray court to realise all the above 3 properties to pay creditors?
2) Contest and dismiss the IP citing the fraudulent transfer of properties?
3) File suit and pray court to void/set aside the fraudulent transfer of 3 properties to daughter using section53? Am I eligible to file this suit as I'm a creditor not a judgement creditor, as the money suit is pending against pronote. I'm a creditor as per IP petition filed by debtor.
Once summons are sent to debtor, he and his daughter will definitely sell the property to an bona fide buyer and make cash to avoid paying creditors. The bona fide buyer will be protected by Law(section53) because buyer is not aware of the debt of father and pending money recovery suit.
what is the implication of set aside of the sale of property? Further sale of property is blocked?
It will have an entry in encumbrance certificate? so buyers avoid on seeing the EC?
4) file creditor IP against him and furnish the list of his properties? Am I eligible to file this suit as I'm a creditor not a judgement creditor, as the money suit is pending against pronote. pray the court to delcare debtor as insolvent and realise all the above 3 properties to pay creditors? Is this insolvency proceeding reliable and completes with reasonable time? once summons are sent to debtor, he and his daughter will definitely sell the property
