Issues: Urgent hearing of IA No.368/2020, Admittance of claims by Liquidator, Maintenance of status quo in fund distribution
The Tribunal allowed IA No.367/2020 seeking an urgent hearing of IA No.368/2020, which was filed by the Suspended Managing Director of a company undergoing liquidation proceedings against the Liquidator and certain other claimants. The IA was filed under Section 60(5) of the Code read with Section 42 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, challenging the decision of the Liquidator in admitting the claims of respondent Nos.2 to 5. The Tribunal heard the Senior Counsel for the applicant and issued notices to the respondents, instructing the applicant's counsel to serve the notices to the respondents by Speed Post and e-mail within 10 days. Respondents were given two weeks to file reply/objections and an additional week for rejoinder. The matter was listed for further hearing on 21.10.2020.

By maintaining status quo, the Tribunal aims to prevent any irreversible consequences that may arise from the distribution of funds before a final decision is made on the claims admitted by the Liquidator. This directive serves to protect the interests of all parties involved in the liquidation proceedings and ensures a fair and orderly resolution of the dispute regarding the admitted claims.
