Withdrawal of Insolvency Petition and CIRP Recall based on Settlement | Precedents | Cost Allocation
The judgment allowed the withdrawal of the IB Petition and the recall of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process based on a pre-CoC settlement between the Operational Creditor and the Corporate Debtor. The decision was supported by legal precedents and required the parties to bear IRP and CIRP costs for approval. Failure to pay within the specified period would lead to further actions by the IRP.
Issues: Withdrawal of IB Petition under Section 12A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and recalling the process of Corporate Insolvency Resolution.
Analysis: The Operational Creditor filed an application seeking withdrawal of the IB Petition and recalling the Corporate Insolvency Resolution process concerning the Corporate Debtor. The Corporate Debtor approached the applicant, offering settlement through post-dated cheques totaling Rs. 19,94,800. An undertaking was provided by the Corporate Debtor acknowledging the debt and proposing settlement. The applicant relied on judicial precedents, including the Swiss Ribbons case, to argue for withdrawal without CoC consent. The IRP had no objection to the withdrawal. The Adjudicating Authority accepted the settlement due to the pre-CoC settlement, directing the parties to bear IRP and CIRP costs for approval. Failure to pay within the stipulated period would allow the IRP to seek non-payment remedies. The IA for withdrawal was conditionally allowed, leading to the withdrawal of the IB Petition.
In summary, the judgment allowed the withdrawal of the IB Petition and the recall of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process based on a pre-CoC settlement between the Operational Creditor and the Corporate Debtor. The decision was supported by legal precedents and required the parties to bear IRP and CIRP costs for approval. Failure to pay within the specified period would lead to further actions by the IRP.
