After hearing the submissions and upon perusing the supporting documents annexed with the Petition, this Bench is of the view that the application made by the Corporate Applicant is complete in all respects as required by law. It clearly shows that the Corporate Applicant is in default of a debt due and payable, and the default is in excess of minimum amount stipulated under section 4(1) of the IBC, at the relevant time.
This Tribunal, vide Order dated 30 April 2026, directed the Board of Directors of the Corporate Applicant to furnish the complete names, addresses, and contact details of the persons/entities from whom the amounts reflected under the head “Current Assets” in the provisional financial statement as on 10 March 2026 were receivable, however those details are still not placed on record till date. Nonetheless, the existence of financial debt and default in payment thereof is proved thus necessitating initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process in the matter.
Therefore, the default stands established and there is no reason to deny the admission of the Petition. In view of this, this Adjudicating Authority admits this Petition and orders initiation of CIRP against the Corporate Applicant.
