The dominant issue was whether a Section 7 application against a corporate guarantor was maintainable when the guarantee deed capped liability at Rs. 75 lakhs, below the Rs. 1 crore threshold under Section 4 IBC. Construing Clauses 1 and 2 strictly as a contractual document, the tribunal held that "not exceeding in the aggregate" fixed an outer ceiling of Rs. 75 lakhs for the entire basket of dues, including principal, interest, and charges, and "all moneys" could not expand liability beyond that cap. Since the capped default could not meet the statutory threshold, the admission order was set aside and CIRP against the corporate guarantor was terminated - NCLAT
