of <h1>Appellate Tribunal Overturns Dismissal of Insolvency Application Due to Technical Defects</h1> <h3>Silvassa Cement Products Pvt. Ltd. Versus Noor India Buildcon Pvt. Ltd.</h3> Silvassa Cement Products Pvt. Ltd. Versus Noor India Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. - TMI Issues:Application for initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process dismissed on grounds of non-maintainability due to technical defects.Analysis:The Appellant, an Operational Creditor, filed an application seeking initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Respondent, a Corporate Debtor. The Adjudicating Authority dismissed the application on the basis of non-maintainability, citing technical defects in the application. The Appellant challenged this decision, arguing that the Authority did not provide an opportunity to rectify the defects before dismissing the application.Upon review, the Appellate Tribunal found that the main reason for dismissal was the absence of signatures on the application in the prescribed format and notarization. The Tribunal noted that the Board Resolution authorized the filing of the application and that two Advocates had signed the petition, albeit without a recorded date. The Tribunal emphasized that incompleteness is different from non-maintainability, with the latter having broader implications.The Tribunal referred to Section 9(5) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which mandates that the Adjudicating Authority must admit or reject an application within fourteen days of receipt. If the application is incomplete, the Authority should provide notice to rectify the defect. In this case, the Authority failed to give the Appellant an opportunity to correct the technical defect before dismissing the application.Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and remitted the matter back to the Adjudicating Authority. The Authority was instructed to allow the Appellant to rectify any defects in the application and then make a decision on the admission or rejection of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. The Tribunal clarified that its decision did not express any opinion on the merits of the case.The Tribunal directed the parties to appear before the Adjudicating Authority on a specific date for further proceedings. Overall, the Tribunal emphasized the importance of providing the Appellant with an opportunity to rectify technical defects before dismissing an application for non-maintainability.
