Assignment is a transaction independent of sale of secured asset

MANU/PH/2188/2015

Banking

The assignment of debt by a secured creditor is an independent transaction, which does not affect either the liability or the rights of the borrower. In a petition against transfer of debt by the secured creditor, the Court held it to be a separate issue to the challenge of notice of sale of property. It added that the transfer of debt was a commercial decision of the secured creditor and the borrower could not have any say in the same.
