2021 (1) TMI 862 - Tri - Insolvency and BankruptcyMaintainability of application - initiation of CIRP - Corporate Debtor failed to make repayment of its dues - Financial Creditor - no information regarding Financial Creditor who has classified the account of the Corporate Debtor as NPA - existence of debt and dispute or not - HELD THAT:- It is noted that Corporate Debtor has not participated in this proceeding and, therefore, we proceed to decide this application after hearing the learned counsel Mr. Tirth Nayak for the Operational Creditor and material on record. From the perusal of MCA data, it is noted that there are open charges on the assets of the Corporate Debtor which are of significant value. Thus, non participation of Corporate Debtor leads to an inference that Corporate Debtor in fact wishes to be admitted into CIRP. We, as Adjudicating Authority, have got limited options in such situations. The Corporate Debtor is not MSME; hence, any attempt by the management/ owners of the Corporate Debtor to complete in a hidden manner needs to be prevented. No data has been provided to us as to whether there is any Financial Creditor who has classified the account of the Corporate Debtor as NPA and, if so, then from which date? This is particularly important from the aspect that management of the Corporate Debtor should not come back indirectly. The role of COC would be clearly important to prevent the misuse of provisions of Section 29A of the CODE. The application is liable to be admitted as there is a debt which is due and payable i.e. not barred by limitation and there is no pre-existing dispute. The application is otherwise complete and defect free and complies with the all requirements of provisions of IBC, 2016 r. w. relevant Regulations - application admitted - moratorium declared.
