The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal on Monday said the provisions of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) cannot be turned into a debt recovery proceeding as the idea of this special code is to bring a debtor company back on its feet. Setting aside an order of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to initiate insolvency proceedings against Coppertun Brewing, the appellate tribunal observed it "clearly fell in error" in admitting the plea "while turning a blind eye" on the evidence of pre-existing disputes between parties. When an operational creditor seeks to initiate an insolvency process against a Corporate Debtor, it can only be done in clear cases where no real dispute exists between the two, said the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Barun Mitra.

The tribunal on Wednesday postponed the second auction for Reliance Capital, which was scheduled for January 19, to January 23 (Monday) as the NCLT Mumbai bench could not complete the hearing of arguments of all applicants. The NCLT Mumbai bench, led by Justice Shyam Babu Gautam and Justice Pradeep Narhari Deshmukh, has been hearing the applicants on a day-to-day basis since January 9, when Torrent Investments approached the tribunal seeking to halt the Committee of Creditors's move for a second round of auction or 'Challenge Mechanism'.
