Exclusion of limitation period: pandemic suspension plus debtor acknowledgement can extend limitation, requiring fresh factfinding on guarantee invoca...
An NCLAT decision held that a post-reservation application seeking leave to deposit the entire claimed debt could not be ignored when it had already been taken on record, notice had been issued, and it was fixed for later consideration. Because the admission of the section 7 insolvency petition was made without addressing that pending application and the proposed full deposit, the admission order was set aside as unsustainable. The Tribunal also held that section 12A did not apply, since there was no settlement between the parties; the matter involved only a unilateral offer by the corporate debtor to deposit the claimed amount. The appeal was allowed, and payment was directed subject to the debtor's entitlement being finally determined in the pending recovery proceedings.
