Ashish Sharma vs Vivriti Capital Limited

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal27 March 2026

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

At the stage of appointing a resolution professional under Section 95 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, the Adjudicating Authority is not to examine adjudicatory issues; all objections to the initiation of the insolvency process must be raised when the application comes up for admission or rejection, and the Adjudicating Authority is to consider them at that stage.

Adjudicating Authority by which order the Adjudicating Authority has

Respondent - Financial Creditor.

Professional no adjudicatory issue can be looked into by the Adjudicating

Authority as held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Dilip B

Jiwarajka Vs. Union of India & Ors. - WP (Civil) No.1281 of 2021 that all

issues have to be raised at the time when application come for admission/

objections before the Adjudicating Authority, which will be considered in

accordance with law. We further observe that the Adjudicating Authority may

consider the objections and dispose of the application expeditiously. Appeal

is dismissed with above observations.
