The Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) has to consider the grounds made out by the Corporate Debtor against admission, on its own merits. For example when admission is opposed on the ground of existence of an award or a decree in favour of the Corporate Debtor, and the Awarded/decretal amount exceeds the amount of the debt, the Adjudicating Authority would have to exercise its discretion under Section 7(5)(a) of the IBC to keep the admission of the application of the Financial Creditor in abeyance, unless there is good reason not to do so. The Adjudicating Authority may, for example, admit the application of the Financial Creditor, notwithstanding any award or decree, if the Award/Decretal amount is incapable of realisation. The example is only illustrative . 8. We, therefore, in the light of the above ruling carefully examined whether the Corporate Debtor had made out any ground against admission of the present application for initiation of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the Corporate Debtor and found none. 9. Further, we found due compliance of the requirements .....
