ORDER

¶18

Yes Bank Ltd. (hereinafter called ‘Petitioner’) has sought the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against Raksha Multispecialty Hospital Private Limited (hereinafter called the ‘Corporate Debtor’) on the ground that the Corporate Debtor committed default to the extent of ₹1,77,35,924/- as provided under Section 7 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (hereafter called the ‘Code’) read with Rule 4 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy (Application to Adjudicating Authority) Rules, 2016.

¶21

The Petition reveals that YES Bank has granted various loan facilities to the extent of ₹2,15,06,463/-. The Petitioner enclosed the following documents in support of the facilities granted to the Corporate Debtor: (a) Copy of the Hospital Loan Agreement along with Demand Promissory Note and Irrevocable Power of Attorney dated 28.09.2015; (b) Copy of the Hospital Loan Agreement along with Demand Promissory Note and Irrevocable Power of Attorney dated 28.04.2017; (c) Copy of the Hospital Loan Agreement along with Demand Promissory Note and Irrevocable Power of Attorney dated 04.09.2016; (d) Copy of Vehicle Loan Agreement along with Demand Promissory Note and Irrevocable Power of Attorney dated 19.09.2016.

¶22

The Petitioner has enclosed the Foreclosure Reports for all the loan accounts and Statement of Account for respective accounts of the Petitioner dated 10.01.2019. The Petitioner has also enclosed the Consumer Credit Information Report (CIBIL) dated 07.03.2019 that reflects the overdue amounts payable by the Corporate Debtor.

¶23

The Petitioner issued recall notices for the sanctioned loan amount on various dates viz 12.04.2018, 09.05.2018, 11.06.2018, 15.09.2018 and 15.11.2018 calling upon the Corporate Debtor to pay the outstanding dues, which were annexed to the Petition.

¶24

The Petitioner further submits that the copy of the petition sent to the Corporate Debtor was served and affidavit of service to that effect was filed. On 19.09.2019, the Counsel for the Corporate Debtor accepted liability as well as default. The only objection raised by the Counsel for the Corporate Debtor is that a sum of ₹6,00,000/- has already been received by the Bank by selling the vehicle but it has not been appropriated towards loan account. However, this may be taken care of by the IRP while collating the claim.

¶25

This Adjudicating Authority, on perusal of the documents filed by the Creditor, is of the view that the Corporate Debtor defaulted in repaying the loan availed and also placed the name of the Insolvency Resolution Professional to act as Interim Resolution Professional and there being no disciplinary proceedings pending against the proposed resolution professional, therefore the Application under sub-section (2) of Section 7 is taken as complete, accordingly this Bench hereby admits this Petition prohibiting all of the following of item-I, namely:

¶26

I. (a) the institution of suits or continuation of pending suits or proceedings against the Corporate Debtor including execution of any
