2021 (11) TMI 283 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyMaintainability of application - initiation of CIRP - Corporate Debtor failed to make repayment of its dues - Financial Creditors - existence of debt and dispute or not - HELD THAT:- It is quite evident from the ‘Notice of Default cum Demand’ dated 14.10.2019 addressed to the Respondent by the authorised signatory of the Appellant ‘Outstanding Receivables’ on the due date of USD 37,585.00 together with interests, default interest, overdue fees and all other charges were claimed till the date of actual payment, to be paid by the Respondent / Concord Creations (India) Pvt. Ltd. within three days from the date of this letter. In the instant case, because of the fact that the advances made by the Appellant / Financial Creditor to the Corporate Debtor was supported by the ‘Irrevocable Undertaking for Recourse’ and as such, it is within its ambit to demand the repayment from the ‘Corporate Debtor’ etc. Added further, it cannot be forgotten that the invoices purchased and assigned to the Appellant / Financial Creditor/Petitioner were with ‘Recourse’ and that the said advances will squarely come within the definition of Section 5(8)(e) of the ‘I&B’ Code, 2016. The ‘Adjudicating Authority’ in the impugned order had observed that the Respondent was not an ‘Insolvent Company’ and that it was of the considered view that Respondent should be given some more time to repay the debt etc. had directed the Respondent / Corporate Debtor to repay the balance debt or the amount as settled with the Appellant within a period of six months failing which the Appellant / Petitioner would be at liberty to file a fresh petition for admission - this Tribunal interferes with the impugned order, since it suffers from patent legal infirmities. Appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
