In a matter concerning advancement of ₹360 crore loan by Hewlett Packard Enterprise India in violation of Section185 which only permit granting of loan for repayment of the loan and not for any other reason, the NCLT imposed ₹ 10 Lakh compounding fees.
NCLAT held that CIRP be closed with respect to the Corporate Debtor since not a single ‘Claim' was received by the IRP even after the public announcement.
“In the instant case, the record establishes that there is a ‘debt’ and a ‘default’ and the Application is complete and the Adjudicating Authority has rightly admitted the Application under Section 7 of the Code.”
The NCLAT rejected an application seeking Condonation of Delay of 49 days (about 1 and a half months) on the ground of want of sufficient cause.
Amount taken by the Directors of the Corporate Debtor in their personal capacity cannot be construed as ‘Financial Debt’ under S. 5(8) of the IBC.
NCLAT observed that the principal objective of the IBC is ‘revival of the Corporate Debtor and Resolution’ and therefore “Liquidation ought to be the last resort, keeping in view the scope and spirit of the Code.”
