Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
NCLAT held that a Section 7 CIRP application was not maintainable because the appellant failed to establish a financial debt under Section 5(8). The record did not show any disbursement to the corporate debtor against consideration for time value of money, or any transaction giving the alleged loan the commercial effect of borrowing; the appellant had borrowed in her own name against mortgage of her flat and repaid that loan herself. Authorities dealing with promoter support or guarantor recourse were found inapplicable. The rejection of the Section 7 application was therefore upheld, without prejudice to any other remedy available in law.
