Corporate Debt Challenge: Operational Creditor's Claim Dismissed for Falling Below Statutory Minimum Threshold of Rs 1 Crore

Case Laws IBC AT

NCLAT held that the operational creditor's Section 9 application was not maintainable due to failure to meet the statutory threshold limit of Rs 1 crore. The tribunal found prima facie evidence of suppressed payments and manipulated ledger accounts. By factoring in subsequent payments made by the corporate debtor after the critical date, the outstanding debt fell below the prescribed minimum limit. The appellate tribunal determined that the adjudicating authority was misled into initiating corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) ex parte. Consequently, the appeal was admitted, and the CIRP triggering was deemed unwarranted, effectively setting aside the earlier order.
