Insolvency and BankruptcyAugust 7, 2024Case LawsHC
Seeking to quash the demand notice for arrears of unpaid electricity charges, the court examined the scope of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and the potential for misuse. It held that operational creditors have a right to property under Article 300A of the Constitution, which is a facet of the right to life under Article 21. The Adjudicating Authority is a neutral tribunal to secure the rights of operational creditors against unfair treatment by the Committee of Creditors (CoC). While the Adjudicating Authority cannot substitute its sense of fairness for the CoC's commercial wisdom, it has a revisional jurisdiction to ascertain the correctness of the CoC's actions. The court discussed the finality of the resolution plan, the applicability of the doctrine of Constructive Res Judicata (CST), and the potential for fraud and manipulation in the IBC process. It emphasized the need to protect the interests of operational creditors and questioned the intent of bending backwards to protect one corporate debtor at the risk of exposing public interest to peril.
