Tribunal admits Company Petition, initiates Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process for default in payment.
The Tribunal found in favor of the Operational Creditor (OC) and admitted the Company Petition, initiating the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Corporate Debtor (CD) for default in payment. An Interim Resolution Professional was appointed to manage the CD's affairs, a moratorium was declared, and cooperation from Directors, Promoters, and associated persons was mandated. The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting the CD's claims, the OC's proactive actions, and the CD's lack of effective participation in the proceedings.
Issues: Initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Corporate Debtor for default in payment.
Analysis: The petition was filed by the Operational Creditor (OC) seeking to initiate Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the Corporate Debtor (CD) for default in payment of Rs. 34,53,777/- along with interest. The OC supplied TMT Bars to the CD, and after several reminders and a dishonored cheque, the OC filed the petition. The CD contended that the goods were defective, leading to project cancellation and financial loss. The CD claimed the OC breached the contract, and the non-payment was not willful. The OC refuted these claims, stating that defective goods were replaced promptly, and the CD failed to make payments after accepting the goods.
The CD failed to provide evidence of goods rejection by its clients at the time of delivery, and the OC had already issued a credit note for defective material. Despite claiming to seek settlement, the CD did not cooperate during the proceedings. The OC presented evidence of the credit note, the dishonored cheque, and the lack of objections from the CD. As a result, the Tribunal found in favor of the OC, admitting the Company Petition and initiating the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the CD.
The Tribunal appointed an Interim Resolution Professional to manage the Corporate Debtor's affairs, declared a moratorium, and directed cooperation from the Directors, Promoters, and associated persons. The Registry was instructed to communicate the order to the parties involved for compliance. The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting the CD's claims, the OC's proactive steps, and the CD's failure to participate effectively in the proceedings.
