NCLT initiates Bankruptcy proceedings against Anil Ambani for loan default
NATIONAL COMPANY LAW TRIBUNAL
MUMBAI BENCH
The Relevant Text of the Order as follows :
18. Before parting it would be pertinent to note that, the Applicant under the Rupee Loan Facilities Agreement dated 29.08.2016, as amended and restated on 08.09.2016 provided the aforesaid amounts as loan to RCOM and RITL. The RCOM and RITL committed default in repayment in and around January 2017. The accounts were retrospectively declared as Non-Performing Account (NPA) with effect from 26.08.2016 i.e. even before loan agreements had been entered into. Such retrospective declaration seems rather incongruous, akin to the adage „putting the cart before the horse‟. While debt and default has remained undisputed, the incongruity of declaration of NPA, has not been raised and contested by the Respondent. Besides, reappraisal of the declaration of the NPA by this Authority would not fall within the ambit of the provisions of the Code, under which the instant Applications have been made. We herewith pass the following order.
