The sheet-anchor submission of learned Counsel for the Appellant is on renewal letter dated 26.07.2019 issued by the Syndicate Bank (now Canara Bank). Renewal of sanction for one year is the renewal of working capital limit, as noted in the letter. Renewal of working capital limit is not relatable to the default committed by the Corporate Debtor in fulfilling the obligations under the Sanctioned Facilities. When on 14.02.2020, accounts of the Corporate Debtor were declared as NPA, it clearly means that default was committed by the Corporate Debtor in carrying out his financial obligations. Renewal of sanction has nothing to do with the date of default committed by the Corporate Debtor in fulfilling its financial obligations. Thus, the very basis of the submission of learned Counsel for the Appellant that since renewal of working capital limit was renewed for one year upto 25.07.2020, hence, the date of default is 25.07.2020, has no basis and is to be rejected. The application under Section 7 filed by Canara Bank was not barred by Section 10A as contended by the Appellant. The Adjudicating Authority having found .....
