Issues:
1. Creditor's entitlement to file application for insolvency. 2. Timing of the act of insolvency in relation to registration date. 3. Determination of whether the respondent committed an act of insolvency. Analysis: Issue 1: Creditor's Entitlement The petitioner, holding a decree against the 2nd respondent on a promissory note endorsed for collection, was considered a creditor eligible to file the insolvency application. The court emphasized that being the holder of a negotiable instrument for which a decree was obtained qualified the petitioner as a creditor under the law. Issue 2: Timing of Act of Insolvency The critical question revolved around the date of the act of insolvency concerning the registration date of the sale deed. The court deliberated on the significance of registration under the Provincial Insolvency Act and the Registration Act. It was determined that the date of registration should be deemed as the date of transfer, impacting the timeline for insolvency proceedings initiation. Issue 3: Act of Insolvency Determination Regarding the alleged act of insolvency by transferring all properties to the 1st respondent, the court opted to remand the case for further evaluation. The lack of specific allegations regarding intent to defeat or delay creditors in the insolvency application necessitated a deeper examination. The court highlighted the need for a comprehensive review of evidence to ascertain whether the transfer constituted an act of insolvency under relevant sections of the Act. In conclusion, the Civil Revision Petition was allowed, setting aside previous orders and directing the Subordinate Judge to reevaluate the application in light of the observations made in the judgment. The decision underscored the importance of thorough analysis and adherence to legal provisions in insolvency proceedings.
