Live Law  

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Chennai Bench comprising of Justice M. Venugopal and Shreesha Merla, dismissed an appeal filed in Mr. Maulik Kirtibhai Shah vs. United Telecom Limited. against the order of the National Company Law Tribunal Bangalore Bench which had dismissed the application under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 by Maulik Kirtibhai Shah seeking initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against United Telecom Limited.. Moreover, the definition of ‘Operational Debt’ cannot be widely interpreted to include any agreement between the parties that does not specifically pertain to the supply of goods or services as such an interpretation would undermine the purpose and scope of the Code. On completion, the Operational Creditor requested the payment, however, the Corporate Debtor induced the Operational Creditor to sign the Settlement Agreement, citing severe cash flow issues.
