In the matter of Satyamitra Stock Consultants Private Limited

National Company Law Tribunal9 August 2019

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Adjudicating Authority may admit an application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 where the financial creditor establishes that a financial debt is due and in default, and the corporate debtor's own reply admits the debt and the default; on such admission, the default is established and a prima facie presumption of default arises in favour of the applicant, so that initiation of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process is warranted. Where the application is complete and the Adjudicating Authority is satisfied as to the default, the Interim Resolution Professional proposed by the applicant may be appointed on the Form 2 consent filed, and, on admission, the moratorium under Section 14 of the Code is invoked in relation to the corporate debtor for the duration of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.
