Issues: Whether the petition filed by the appropriate regulator for initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process against the financial service provider was maintainable and deserved admission on proof of debt and default.
Analysis: The application was filed by the Reserve Bank of India as the appropriate regulator under section 227 read with section 239(2)(zk) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and was required to satisfy the framework under Rules 5 and 6 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy (Insolvency and Liquidation Proceedings of Financial Service Providers and Application to Adjudication Authority) Rules, 2019. The record disclosed a subsisting debt, a specific date of default, and default above the statutory threshold. The debt was treated as financial debt within the meaning of the Code, and the petition was found to be within limitation. The application was therefore complete and fit for admission. Consequential directions followed on moratorium, appointment of the administrator, vesting of management, and issuance of public announcement.
Conclusion: The petition was admitted and initiation of CIRP against the financial service provider was allowed.
Ratio Decidendi: An application by the appropriate regulator for commencement of CIRP against a financial service provider is admissible when the record establishes a qualifying financial debt, a statutory default above the threshold, and compliance with the special procedure under the Code and the FSP Rules.
