NCLAT Delhi: Section 95(1) Of IBC Permits Creditors To Initiate Insolvency Proceedings Against Personal Guarantors Via A Resolution Professional

Live Law  

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Delhi bench, comprising Mr. Justice Ashok Bhushan and Mr. Arun Baroka held that Section 95 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy, Code, 2016 allows creditors to initiate insolvency process against a Personal Guarantor through a Resolution Professional. Contention of the Appellant: The Appellant argued that since the default occurred on 04.03.2016, the Section 95 application filed on 10.08.2021 exceeds the three-year limitation period, which expired on 04.03.2019. NCLAT Verdict: The NCLAT Delhi bench dismissed the appeal and held that Section 95 of IBC permits creditors to file an application through a RP for initiating the insolvency resolution process against a Personal Guarantor. The Appellant argued that the Deed of Guarantee dated 25.07.2012 was invoked by a Recall Notice on 04.03.2016, therefore, the three-year limitation period ended on 04.03.2019, rendering the Financial Creditor's application filed on 10.08.2021 time-barred.
