Some High Courts required the immediate publication of an advertisement upon the creditor\u2019s winding-up petition being filed; whereas others, including Calcutta and Gauhati, required the Company Court to first be satisfied as to the existence of the indisputable debt before directing the publication of the advertisement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Invariably, when the Court was satisfied that the debt was indisputably due, an option would be given to the company to pay off the same, failing which, the advertisement would ensue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With respect to the present matter, the advertisement had not yet been published.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though the petition was filed before the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 were notified and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 came into effect, the law, as it stands now, permitted only matter that has been advertised to be retained by the Court and requires all other matters to be transferred to appropriate Company Law Tribunal since the entire regime as to insolvency had been recognized and parked with such authority.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, the entire matter stood transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal, Guwahati.[Walchandnagar Industries Ltd. v.
