It is amply clear that there is no provision of review under the IBC and hence a misconceived review application cannot provide relaxation in limitation to the Appellan .....

..... his capacity as director. The Jaguar Land Rover vehicle was hypothecated to ICICI Bank and Porsche car was hypothecated to HDFC Bank, and instalments were paid by the Corporate Debtor. The Ld. Counsel of Appellant has further stated that since the Corporate Debtor was unable to pay regular EMIs for the two vehicles, he asked the Corporate Debtor in August, 2018to get the vehicles transferred in his name, as he agreed to settle the loans with respective banks. 5.

On a perusal of the order dated 4.11.2020 in CA 1326/2019 (pp.33-34 of Appeal Paperbook) the following is recorded therein: Against this order dated 26.09.2019 R3 has filed a Review Application under Rule 11 r/w 154 of NCLT Rules, but no stay has been granted over the order dated 26.09.2019. 12.
