Justice KV Viswanathan Recuses from Supreme Court Insolvency Case After Prior Involvement as Counsel Justice KV Viswanathan of the Supreme Court of India recused himself from an appeal concerning insolvency proceedings against Dugal Projects Development Company, a corporate guarantor, after having initially reserved judgment on March 17, 2026. The recusal occurred on April 1, 2026, and the previously reserved order was recalled. The reason for the recusal was that Justice Viswanathan had previously appeared as counsel for Alchemist Asset Reconstruction Company (AARC) in related proceedings involving Sima Hotels, the principal borrower. In those earlier proceedings, the appellate tribunal ruled that AARC's insolvency application against Sima Hotels was barred by limitation, a decision affirmed by the Supreme Court in 2020. The current dispute arose because the same debt was being pursued against the guarantor, Dugal Projects, despite the claim against the principal borrower being time-barred. Although the parties differ, the legal principle holds that a guarantor's liability is tied to the borrower's obligation. Justice Viswanathan’s prior role as counsel in the related case posed a potential conflict of interest, prompting the rare post-reservation recusal. The case will now be reassigned to a new Bench for fresh consideration. The recusal highlights the importance of judicial impartiality even after judgment has been reserved, a situation considered virtually unprecedented in Indian judicial practice.
