Procedural incompleteness in an insolvency application should be treated as curable rather than a ground to foreclose the applicant's right to initiate CIRP; the adjudicating authority must assess whether the application satisfies statutory completeness and whether a default exists, and must afford the applicant an opportunity to rectify defects before rejecting.
