  3. Question 3 · Legal Current Affairs: July 2026

    In H.D.F.C. Bank Limited v. Kishore K. Mehta (Dead) thr. LRs. (13 July 2026), the bank had served an insolvency notice under Section 9(2) of the Presidency Towns Insolvency Act, 1909, founded on a recovery certificate issued by a Debts Recovery Tribunal before 2016. The Supreme Court held that:

    1. A. the notice could not rest on that certificate, as Section 19(22A), inserted in 2016, was not given retrospective effect
    2. B. the notice could not issue, since Section 9(2) of the 1909 Act applies only to decrees passed by the High Court on its original side
    3. C. the notice was valid, because a recovery certificate has always counted as a civil court decree under the Code of Civil Procedure
    4. D. the notice was valid, since Section 19(22A) of the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993, being procedural, applies to pending cases
    Show the answer

    A. the notice could not rest on that certificate, as Section 19(22A), inserted in 2016, was not given retrospective effect

    Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma, JJ. (2026 INSC 688) applied Paramjeet Singh Patheja and held that the 2016 insertion of Section 19(22A), deeming a recovery certificate to be a decree for insolvency proceedings, showed that no such equivalence existed earlier; the amendment is not retrospective and the lis is decided on the law as on the date of institution.

  5. Question 5 · Legal Current Affairs: July 2026

    Consider the following statements about Vanashakti v. Union of India (29 July 2026): 1. The Notification of 14 March 2017 was upheld as narrowly tailored, time-bound delegated legislation traceable to Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 read with Section 21 of the General Clauses Act, 1897. 2. The Court held that the Central Government has no power to frame any amnesty scheme for projects that began without prior environmental clearance. 3. Environmental clearances already granted under the 2017 Notification or the 2021 Office Memorandum remain valid unless individually challenged in accordance with law. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    1. A. 1 and 3 only
    2. B. 1, 2 and 3
    3. C. 2 and 3 only

    A. 1 and 3 only

    Statements 1 and 3 reflect paragraph 80(v) and (vii). Statement 2 is wrong: the Court held that the Central Government has ample power under Section 3 to issue a narrowly tailored amnesty notification in supervening public interest, and only barred future ex post facto clearances by administrative orders.
