A civil suit seeking a declaration that personal guarantees stood released remained maintainable because it was filed before any application under Section 95 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code; Section 96 is triggered only on such filing, so a later interim moratorium could at most stay the pending suit for the limited statutory period and not bar it under Order VII Rule 11(d).

Rejection of the plaint was therefore unsustainable and the suit was remanded.
