SC Urges Swift Resolution of Insolvency Application, Dismisses Appeals for Now, Directs NCLT to Decide on Merits in 2 Months.
The SC addressed the maintainability of an application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016. It reviewed the NCLAT's order from 17 November 2023, noting the prolonged pendency of the application for nearly two years. The SC declined to intervene at this stage, emphasizing that the application should first be heard and decided on merits. The SC urged the NCLT to expedite the process within two months and dismissed the Civil Appeals, allowing parties to pursue further proceedings as per the law after the merits are decided.
Issues involved: 1. Maintainability of the application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016.
The Supreme Court, in the present case, addressed the issue of the maintainability of the application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016. The impugned order of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) dated 17 November 2023 was under consideration, where the stage of the application under Section 7 was being questioned. The Court noted that the application under Section 7 was still pending a hearing on merits, despite almost two years having passed. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain the proceedings at the current stage. The Court further stated that after the application under Section 7 is heard and disposed of on merits, the parties would have the option to pursue appropriate proceedings as per the law. The Court reserved the right to examine both the merits and maintainability at that stage, while also confirming that the issue of maintainability had been settled by the impugned order dated 17 November 2023 concerning the NCLT and NCLAT. Additionally, due to the prolonged pendency of the application under Section 7 for over two years, the Court urged the NCLT to expedite the disposal of the application within two months. Finally, the Court dismissed the Civil Appeals, with any pending applications being disposed of accordingly.
