In the matter of Apodis Hotels & Resorts Limited [Cp(Ib) 10 (IB)2023]
Case brief
What is this about?
The NCLT admitted an application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 filed by SIDBI against Apodis Hotels & Resorts Limited. The corporate debtor argued the petition was not maintainable due to a prior withdrawn petition on the same cause of action and was barred by limitation. The Tribunal held that summary proceedings under the Code are not governed by CPC, subsequent defaults renew the cause of action, and the time of presentation of the petition is valid due to the debtor's acknowledgements. The CIRP was initiated.
What did the court decide?
The application under Section 7 is admitted, CIRP is ordered against Apodis Hotels & Resorts Limited, Mrs. Megha Agrawal is appointed as IRP, and moratorium under Section 14 is imposed subject to regulatory notifications.
