The Adjudicating Authority dismissed the Application and held that it is a case of collusive Application whereby the Corporate Debtor is trying to seek benefits of Moratorium u/s 14 of the IBC and other advantages in accordance with other provisions of IBC 2016.

CA. Venkata Siva Kumar, the petitioner, is a chartered accountant who has registered as an IP with the IBBI. In his writ petition, he claimed that the IBBI Regulations, 2016 are in violation of Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution and should be overturned.

SBI initiated proceedings against Veesons under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act), demanding an outstanding amount of approximately INR 61 crores as Veesons did not pay its debts on time.

IBC is economic legislation and that when it comes to economic legislation, flexibility should be given to the legislature because no economic law can be fool proof at its inception.

The NCLT Kolkata Bench imposed a mandatory condition on all the financial creditors to file information of their record of default with the National E-Governance Services Ltd. (NESL).

Since IBC enactments, it is necessary to consider the hits and misses of this momentous legislation so as to truly exploit the potential of the insolvency regime.

The term Moratorium is nowhere defined in the Code, however, the term in basic parlance means, ”a stopping of activity for an agreed amount of time”. 

The resolution plan can be challenged by an aggrieved person as per the grounds mentioned in Sub-Section (3) of Section 61 of the Code.
