The Tribunal admitted the Company Petition under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, initiating the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Corporate Debtor. This decision was made due to the breach of settlement terms and default in payment by the Corporate Debtor, establishing its liability to repay the outstanding amount to the Operational Creditor. The Tribunal appointed an Interim Resolution Professional, imposed a moratorium on suits, and specified various provisions to be followed during the insolvency resolution process.
Issues Involved: Admission of Company Petition under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 against default of principal amount and interest due to breach of consent terms between parties.
Detailed Analysis: 1. The Interlocutory Application sought admission of the Company Petition by the Operational Creditor under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code against a default amount. The parties had previously agreed to settle the claim for Rs. 20 Crores in monthly installments, but the Corporate Debtor breached the consent terms, leading to the filing of the present application.
2. The Tribunal had disposed of a previous Company Petition with liberty for the Operational Creditor to approach in case of settlement term breach. The Operational Creditor filed a subsequent application seeking revival of the Company Petition, which led to stern observations against the Corporate Debtor for default in payment as agreed upon.
3. Despite executing a second terms of settlement, the Corporate Debtor failed to make payments and argued that the application was infructuous. The Corporate Debtor's attempt to avoid liability by stating the application was not maintainable due to the settlement terms was rejected.
4. The Tribunal found that the Corporate Debtor breached the settlement agreement, proving the existence of debt and default. The Corporate Debtor accepted its liability in the settlement agreement, acknowledging the amount due and payable to the Operational Creditor.
5. The Corporate Debtor did not contest the merits of the case or deny the liability accrued from the facilities extended. Therefore, the Tribunal concluded that the liability to repay falls on the Corporate Debtor, leading to the admission of the Company Petition and initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Corporate Debtor.
6. The Tribunal admitted the Company Petition, allowed and disposed of related applications, appointed an Interim Resolution Professional, directed the Operational Creditor to deposit CIRP costs, imposed a moratorium on suits and proceedings against the Corporate Debtor, and specified various provisions to be followed during the insolvency resolution process.
7. The Tribunal's order included directions regarding the management of the Corporate Debtor during the CIRP period, communication of the order to relevant authorities, and updating of corporate data with the Registrar of Companies.
