Issues: Whether the application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 was complete and supported by proof of financial debt and default so as to warrant admission and initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process.
Analysis: The application was filed by a financial creditor in the prescribed form with supporting loan documents, account statements, acknowledgements, and evidence of security. The objection regarding incorrect declaration of the account as non-performing asset was held to be outside the scope of a Section 7 proceeding, since the adjudicating authority is concerned only with the existence of debt and default. The dispute as to the quantum of liability was also held to be irrelevant to admission, because the Code requires only a summary satisfaction that default has occurred and that the application is complete. On the material on record, the bank was found to be a financial creditor, the loan transactions amounted to financial debt, default was established, and no disciplinary proceeding was pending against the proposed interim resolution professional.
Conclusion: The Section 7 application was admitted, and corporate insolvency resolution process was initiated against the corporate debtor.
Ratio Decidendi: In a Section 7 proceeding, the adjudicating authority need only ascertain the existence of financial debt, default, completeness of the application, and absence of disciplinary proceedings against the proposed interim resolution professional; challenges to NPA classification or the precise quantum of debt do not defeat admission where default is shown.
