The case involves a civil appeal regarding the legal implications of the Depositories Act, 1996, and related regulations on contracts of pledge under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. PTC India Financial Services Limited (PIFSL) had advanced a loan to NSL Nagapatnam Power and Infratech Limited (NNPIL), secured by a pledge of shares in NSL Energy Ventures Private Limited (NEVPL) held by Mandava Holdings Private Limited (MHPL). When NNPIL faced insolvency proceedings, a dispute arose regarding the status of PIFSL and MHPL as financial creditors, particularly concerning the pledged shares. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) ruled in favor of MHPL, leading PIFSL to appeal to the Supreme Court.
PIFSL advanced a loan of Rs. 125 crores to NNPIL, secured by a pledge of 31,80,678 shares (26%) of NEVPL, a subsidiary of MHPL. The pledge was created via a Pledge Deed executed on March 10, 2014.

On January 16, 2018, PIFSL invoked its rights under the Pledge Deed and requested the Depository Participant to accord it the status of 'beneficial owner' of the pledged shares.
