COUNTER BY THE CORPORATE DEBTOR:

7.

The Corporate Debtor vide Diary No.2122 dated 23.10.2025, filed the Counter stating that:

(i)

The Petition is not maintainable, as it is filed by Mr. V. Naveen Kumar Juluru, Vice President of the Financial Creditor, authorized by way of a power of attorney dated 28.09.2023, without any Board Resolution authorizing the execution of such power of attorney. It is a settled position of law that a power of attorney executed on behalf of a company must be accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing such execution. The absence of a Board Resolution renders the power of attorney invalid and the Petition filed pursuant to such defective authorization is not maintainable.

(ii)

As per Rule 4 of IB Rules, 2016, the Petition is required to be signed by the "person authorized to act on behalf of the Financial Creditor". The Notification S.O. 1901 (E)) dated 27.02.2019 issued in exercise of its powers under Section 7(1) of the IBC, by the Central Government (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) prescribes the specific category persons, who may file the Petition on behalf of a financial creditor, as below:

"...the Central Government hereby notifies following persons, who may file an application for initiating corporate insolvency resolution process against a corporate debtor before the Adjudicating Authority, on behalf of the financial creditor:

(i)

a guardian;

(ii)

an executor or administrator of an estate of a financial creditor;

(iii)

a trustee (including a debenture trustee); and

(iv)

a person duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Company."

(iii)

The requirement of a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of power of attorney has been consistently upheld by various benches of the Hon'ble NCLT and the Hon'ble NCLAT.

(a)

The Hon'ble NCLAT, New Delhi in Palogix Infrastructure Private Limited vs. ICICI Bank Limited (2017) SCC Online NCLAT 266 held as follows:

"31.

As per Section 7 of the 'I&B Code' an application for initiation of 'Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process' requires to be filed by 'Financial Creditor' itself. The form and manner, in which an application under section 7 of the 'I&B Code' is to be filed by a 'Financial Creditor' is provided in 'Form-1' of the Adjudicating Authority Rules. Upon perusal of the Adjudicating Authority Rules and Form-1, it may be duly noted that the 'I&B Code' and the Adjudicating Authority Rules recognize that a 'Financial Creditor' being a juristic person can only act through an "Authorised Representative". Entry 5 & 6 (Part I) of Form No.1 mandates the 'Financial Creditor' to submit "name and address of the person authorised to submit application on its behalf. The authorization letter is to be enclosed. The signature block of the aforementioned Form 1 also provides for the authorised person's detail is to be inserted and also includes inter alia the position of the authorised person in relation to the 'Financial Creditor'. Thus, it is clear that only an "authorised person" as distinct from "Power of Attorney Holder" can make an application under section 7 and required to state his position in relation to "Financial Creditor".

32.

The 'I&B Code' is a complete Code by itself. The provision of the Power of Attorney Act, 1882 cannot override the specific provision of a statute, which requires that a particular act should be done by a person in the manner as prescribed thereunder.

33.

Therefore, we hold that a 'Power of Attorney Holder' is not competent to file an application on behalf of a 'Financial Creditor' or 'Operational Creditor' or 'Corporate Applicant'."

Although the Hon'ble NCLAT observed that a general authorization given to an officer of the financial creditor by means of a power of attorney would not disentitle such officer to act as the authorized representative, if the power of attorney is supported by a Board Resolution authorizing such execution. As the power of attorney is without any supporting Board Resolution authorizing the execution, therefore, the Petition is liable to be dismissed.

(b)

In Axis Bank Limited vs. Karvy Forde Search Pvt Ltd (2024) ibclaw.in 265 NCLT, the Hon'ble NCLT, Hyderabad Bench held as follows:

"16.

That apart, the ruling in re, Rajendra Narottamdas Sheth (supra), also establishes that whenever a petition under section 7 IBC is filed by a power of attorney holder, the requirement that such a power of attorney shall be accompanied by a duly passed “Board Resolution” is not a mere a “technicality” but mandatory legal requirement, as the noncompliance of which renders the said agent of such power of attorney incompetent to file an application under section 7 of IBC. xxxx xxxxx xxxx

18.

We, therefore, in the light of our discussions as above are unhesitant, to hold that the present Company Petition signed and verified by Mr. Raghuram Moguluru, the agent/ power of attorney holder, which power was not backed by the Board Resolution, is not maintainable.”

(iv)

The above judgements establishes that a Board Resolution authorizing execution is a mandatory requirement to accompany a power of attorney and it must authorize the specific person to execute the power of attorney. Without a Board Resolution, the authority of the attorney holder cannot be established and non-production of Board Resolution is a fatal defect rendering the Petition not maintainable.

(v)

In the present case, the Financial Creditor filed the Petition by way of a power of attorney, but has failed to annex the Board Resolution authorizing such power of attorney holder. This is a clear violation of the mandatory requirements and renders the Petition defective and not maintainable. The requirement of a Board Resolution ensures that the decision to initiate insolvency proceedings against a debtor is a conscious decision taken by the Board of Directors of the Financial Creditor and not an arbitrary action by any individual officer. In the absence of such authorization, the entire proceedings initiated pursuant to such defective Petition are void ab initio on this ground alone, as the defect is incurable and goes to the root of the maintainability of the Petition.

(vi)

The Hon'ble Supreme Court has repeatedly emphasized this distinction in landmark judgments, clarifying that the primary objective of the Code is insolvency resolution and not mere debt recovery. The Adjudicating Authority while admitting a Section 7 Petition should consider, whether there exists any concrete proposal for revival and whether admission would lead to destruction of the Corporate Debtor as a going concern. While the Code grants significant rights to Financial Creditors, it does not contemplate the use of Section 7 as a recovery tool against corporate debtors, which have the ability to pay their debts.

(vii)

The Financial Creditor has rushed to file the Petition without exploring alternative mechanisms for recovery or settlement, which demonstrates that the Financial Creditor is seeking to use the Code as a recovery mechanism rather than as a tool for corporate revival. The initiation of CIRP would result in the Corporate Debtor losing control over its affairs, which would ultimately be detrimental to all stakeholders including the Financial Creditor.

(viii)

In view of the above facts and circumstances, this Adjudicating Authority may exercise its discretion judiciously and dismiss the Petition, as it would be contrary to the very object and intent of the Code.

8.

During the course of hearing dated 16.12.2025, the Corporate Debtor raised a preliminary objection by placing reliance on the judgment of the Hon'ble NCLAT, New Delhi in Palogix Infrastructure Private Limited vs. ICICI Bank Limited (2017 SCC OnLine NCLAT 266) and the judgment of the Coordinate Bench of this Tribunal in Axis Bank Limited vs. Karvy Forde Search Pvt. Ltd. (2024 ibclaw.in 265 NCLT), contending that the Petition is not maintainable in the absence of proper authorisation and Board Resolution to the officer of the Financial Creditor for filing the IBC Petition. In response, the Financial Creditor submitted that the Order passed by the Hon'ble NCLT, Hyderabad Bench in Axis Bank Limited vs. Karvy Forde Search Pvt. Ltd. (supra) has been set aside by the Hon'ble NCLAT vide its Order dated 15.09.2024 passed in Company Appeal (AT) (Ins) No. 234 of 2024. Placing the reliance on the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Rajendra Narottamdas Sheth & Anr. vs. Chandra Prakash Jain & Anr. (2022) 5 SCC 600, it was further submitted that a petition filed through a power of attorney holder or an authorised officer cannot be rejected at the threshold and reasonable time may be granted to place the requisite Board Resolution on record and an IA has already been filed for taking Board Resolution on record. The Financial Creditor was also permitted to file the aforesaid judgements relied upon by it, which were subsequently filed through a Memo vide Diary No.2537 dated 19.12.2025.

IA (IBC)/428/2025:

9.

The Financial Creditor filed (e-filed on 05.12.2025 and physically on 15.12.2025 vide Diary No.2496) the Interlocutory Application bearing No. IA(IBC)/428/2025 (hereinafter referred to as the "IA 428/2025" or the "IA") under Section 60(5) of the IBC annexing therewith the copy of the extracts from Minutes of the Meeting of Committee of Whole-Time Directors (hereinafter referred to as the "COWTD") of the Financial Creditor held on 29.08.2023 with the prayer to take on record the same as part of this Petition.

10.

11.

(vii)

The authorized signatory to the present Petition filed under Section 7 of the Code is duly authorized by virtue of the general power of attorney issued pursuant to the decision of the COWTD.

12.

During the course of hearing dated 24.02.2026, the Corporate Debtor raised an objection with reference to Clause 6(f) of the COWTD filed by the Financial Creditor and stated that there should have been specific authorization for filing the Petition before this Adjudicating Authority. In response to the above objection, the Financial Creditor submitted the following:

(i)

Article 71 of the AoA of the Financial Creditor, which deals with delegation of powers to committees, reads thus:

"The Board may subject to the Provisions of the Act delegate any of its powers to committees consisting of such member or members of its body as it thinks fit. Any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the Board."

The Committee was briefed that the Bank issues General Powers of Attorney (GPOA) to designated officials to enable them to act on behalf of the Bank.

It was proposed to grant GPOAs and SPOAs to officials of the Bank.

Relationship Manager – Structured Assets Group, Axis Bank Limited, Axis House, New No.3, First Floor, Club House Road, Anna Salal, Chennai - 600 002. Yours Faithfully,

It is observed that the amount of outstanding financial debt as per the CIBIL report, Record of Default with NeSL, Statement of Accounts maintained as per the Banker's Books of Evidence Act, 1891 and recall notice dated 15.02.2025 are different. However, in case of Section 7 Petition, we need to see that the outstanding amount is meeting the threshold limit of Rs. one crore and in all the above three evidences submitted by the Financial Creditor, the outstanding amount is above the threshold limit of Rs. one crore. In this regard, the reliance is placed on Hon'ble NCLAT Principal Bench judgement dated 25.04.2024 in the matter of Milind Kashiram Jadhav Vs. State Bank of India & Ors [Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 1589 of 2023]

"54...There is no requirement to calculate and fix the exact amount of repayment, this has been held by this Tribunal as under: "14. In so far as the facts included in the Section 7 application in Form 1 application is concerned, the Financial Creditor has to provide information about the debt which is due and payable and also the date and record of default. There is no requirement in the adjudication of Section 7 application to calculate and fix the exact amount of debt in default of repayment. It is only to be seen whether the amount in default is more than the minimum or threshold value that is prescribed in Section 4(1) of the IBC."

[Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No. 662-663 of 2022: Suzlon Synthetics Ltd. v. Stressed Asset Stabilization Fund (2022) 145 taxmann.com 594 (NCLAT-New Delhi)] [Emphasis supplied]"

(xii)

In view of the aforesaid discussions, we are of the considered view that there is a financial debt extended by the Financial Creditor to the Corporate Debtor and there is a default in repayment thereof, when it became due and payable and the default exceeds the minimum threshold of Rupees one crore.

18.

The Corporate Debtor, in its Counter has contended that the Financial Creditor has rushed to file the Petition without exploring alternative mechanisms for recovery or settlement, which demonstrates that the Financial Creditor is seeking to use the Code as a recovery mechanism rather than as a tool for corporate revival. Therefore, the next issue for consideration before us is "Whether the Financial Creditor has invoked the provisions of the IBC merely as a recovery mechanism and not for resolution of insolvency?"

(i)

We note the settled legal position that for admission of a Petition under Section 7 of the Code, the Adjudicating Authority is only required to examine and satisfy itself that a financial debt exists and there is default in relation thereto.

(ii)

In this regard, we also rely on the judgement dated 24.02.2026 of the Hon'ble Supreme court in the matter of Catalyst Trusteeship Ltd. vs. Ecstasy Realty Pvt. Ltd., 2026 INSC 186 (Civil Appeal No. 7424 of 2025, wherein the Supreme Court has observed as below:

"12.

In this regard, we may note the settled legal position that for admission of an application under Section 7 of the Code, the adjudicating authority is only required to examine and satisfy itself that a financial debt exists and there is default in relation thereto. In this context, the observations of this Court in Innoventive Industries Limited vs. ICICI Bank and another (2018) 1 SCC 407 are of relevance and are extracted hereunder:

'30. On the other hand, as we have seen, in the case of a corporate debtor who commits a default of a financial debt, the adjudicating authority has merely to see the records of the information utility or other evidence produced by the financial creditor to satisfy itself that a default has occurred. It is of no matter that the debt is disputed so long as the debt is "due" i.e. payable unless interdicted by some law or has not yet become due in the sense that it is payable at some future date. It is only when this is proved to the satisfaction of the adjudicating authority that the adjudicating authority may reject an application and not otherwise.' Thus, the concept of a pre-existing dispute, which may be a stumbling block for admission of an application filed under Section 9 of the Code by an operational creditor, has no bearing on an application filed by a financial creditor under Section 7 of the Code."

19.

However, before admission, this Adjudicating Authority has to satisfy that the Petition is complete and there are no disciplinary proceedings pending against the proposed IRP. Further, Rule 4 of the IB Rules prescribes the procedural requirements, including the format and supporting documents required for filing such a Petition.

20.

We have gone through the contents of the Petition filed by the Financial Creditor and found that the same is complete. The Financial Creditor has proposed the name of Rajesh Chillale, having Reg.No. IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00699/2017-2018/11226 as IRP in this matter. The written consent of the proposed IRP in Form-2 dated 15.04.2025 is annexed at Page 526 the Petition, wherein, the proposed IRP affirmed that he is eligible to be appointed as a resolution professional in respect of the Corporate Debtor herein and certified that there are no disciplinary proceedings pending against him with the Board or Indian Institute of Insolvency Professionals of ICAI. However, it is noted from the copy of the AFA of the proposed IRP annexed at Page 529 of the Petition, that his AFA is valid till 31.12.2025. Therefore, the credentials of the proposed IRP have been verified on the IBBI website, which shows that the proposed IRP holds the valid AFA up to 31.12.2026. The relevant extract of the IBBI website is given below:
