At the initiation of CIRP when a public notice is issued under Section 15, claims of creditors are invited; but in some scenarios in real estate cases, homebuyers are often unable to take note of the public announcement of CIRP owing to different factors.
The adoption of the Model Law will help in the ease of doing business and significantly increase the inflow of FDI into India by way of cross-border mergers and acquisitions.
Since a specific limitation period for filing such an appeal is clearly mentioned, Section 17 of the Limitation Act could not be applied here.
The institution or continuation of a proceeding of dishonour of cheque against company under the provisions of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1888 fall within the ambit of moratorium provision of the IBC.
Despite the fact that such relief should not have existed, the NCLAT instead attempted an “experiment” to adopt the strange idea of Reverse CIRP, which has no precedent in the Code.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its latest judgement dated February, 11 2021 declared that the proceedings under Article 32 of the Constitution by a purchaser, seeking relief in respect to a real estate project cannot be entertained.
In order to file appeals under RERA, the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (“REAT”) was formed under section 43 of RERA, which examines the legality of RERA orders and determines whether to uphold or reverse the order. The REAT order can also be challenged before the Hon’ble High Court by filing an appeal.
The Committee of Creditors (CoC) has complete wisdom and right to decide the fate of the company under CIRP. Lets understand all about Committee of Creditors under Insolvency Laws
Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that in an application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, the applicant can claim the benefit of Section 14 of the Limitation Act, in respect of proceedings under the SARFAESI Act.
Hon’ble SC clarified the position of the homebuyers similar to that of a “financial creditor” under the IBC, after this the homebuyers were at a par with banks and financial institutions.
The IBC is favoured over the SARFAESI Act, primarily because it offers a quick solution and is also effective in reviving the company and safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.
The IBC recognizes homebuyers under financial creditors to protect their rights even when a creditor, other than a homebuyer, invokes insolvency proceedings against the builder.
It is advisable to the creditors to make a plea of initiating Group Insolvency while filing an application for initiation of CIRP against a corporate debtor.
IBC undoubtedly appears to be a better alternative in comparison to RERA. IBC offers a time bound resolution of the grievance of the homebuyers.
