Acceptance Of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Not A Ground To Quash Case Under Sec 138 NI Act: Madras HC [Read Judgment]

Live Law  

In a significant ruling, the Madras High Court has held that acceptance of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Plan under Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 cannot be a ground for quashing the prosecution initiated under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 against the corporate debtor and its officials. "No clause in the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Plan even if accepted by the adjudicating authority/appellate Tribunal can take away the power and jurisdiction of the criminal court to conduct and dispose of the proceedings before it in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure," single-Judge bench of Justice GR Swaminathan held. He further pointed out that the resolution plan clearly stipulates that all the outstanding negotiable instruments issued by the company prior to the insolvency commencement date shall stand terminated and the liability of the company and its current employees under such instruments shall stand extinguished and all the legal proceedings relating thereto shall stand irrevocably and unconditionally abated. It also held that after the proceedings under the Code are over, if the corporate debtor is not dissolved, while the erstwhile directors and officials can no longer represent the company in the criminal trial, the new management will have to make arrangements to represent it.
