2021 (9) TMI 1447 - Tri - Insolvency and BankruptcyMaintainability of petition - initiation of CIRP - Corporate Debtor failed to make repayment of its dues - Financial Creditors - existence of debt and dispute or not - time limitation - HELD THAT:- This Bench did not find any reply filed by Corporate Debtor from the record. However, the Corporate Debtor submitted written argument/submission and also Sur-Rejoinder dated 12.04.2019. The contents and the substance of the written submissions and the sur-rejoinder are nothing but repetition. The Corporate Debtor both in the written submission and the Sur-Rejoinder raised several issues with regard to the status of account, withholding and misrepresentation of facts, delay in arranging funds and noncooperation by the Financial Creditor, violation of RBI guidelines/directives so on and so fore which are not at all relevant for the purpose of disposal of the above Company Petition. The Corporate Debtor paid an amount of 50,000/- on 13.10.2017 which was also confirmed by the Corporate Debtor through their reply dated 04.12.2017 raising objection to the possession notice issued by the Financial Creditor under SARFAESI Act. The Corporate Debtor also addressed letter dated 24.02.2016 confirming the LC outstanding dues and LG outstanding dues. The above Company Petition being filed on 31.10.2018 is well within limitation - the only legally sustainable plea of limitation raised by the Corporate Debtor in the sur-rejoinder and written submission is liable to be rejected and accordingly rejected. Upon perusing the material available on record, this bench is of the considered opinion that the Financial Creditor has successfully proved the existence of debt and default and the debt is also within limitation. The Financial Creditor has also suggested the name of proposed Interim Resolution Professional in part-3 of the Petition along with his consent letter in Form-2. Thus, the present Company Petition satisfies all the necessary legal requirements for admission. Petition admitted - moratorium admitted.
