NCLT has cleared that once a petition is admitted by the NCLT under IBC, both the parties have no right to withdraw the petition. As it can say IBC is not a Recovery Law it is Revival Law.
After admission of Petition under IBC 2016, the nature of petition changes to representative suit and the lis does not remain only between Operational Creditor and Operational Debtor. Therefore, Operational Creditor and Operational Debtor alone have no right to withdraw the Petition after admission.
the issue to be decided in the present case is whether the National Company Law Tribunal is having power to allow the applicants to compound the offence in question, especially when prosecution was already initiated and the same is in advance stage.
Spirit of the Code is first and then comes the other things. The rejection of the Resolution Plan by the CoC even without opening the envelope containing the Resolution Plan on the ground that the same is submitted after the expiry of the stipulated time fixed by the CoC, is certainly against the law/Code.
