In case the record of Information Utility shows that there is a debt which is in default, the Adjudicating Authority or the Appellate Authority are not required to further examine the record maintained by the Information Utility – Vipul Himatlal Shah Vs. Teco Industries – NCLAT New Delhi

NCLAT held that it is clear that in case the record of Information Utility shows that there is a debt which is in default, the Adjudicating Authority or the Appellate Authority are not required to further examine the record maintained by the Information Utility, moreso when the record of the Information Utility is deemed authenticated and no dispute or refutation of said record has been done by the corporate debtor earlier. We also note that in the judgment of Rushabh Civil Contractors Pvt. Ltd. vs. Centrio Lifespaces Ltd. (2022) ibclaw.in 32 NCLAT , which has been cited by the Learned Counsel for Appellant, the record that formed the basis for financial debt and default was found to be forged and fabricated, which is not the case in the present appeal. Therefore, this judgment does not come to the rescue of the Appellant. The Adjudicating Authority has not committed any error in admitting the section 7 application filed by the financial creditor M/s. Teco Industries. The appeal is therefore dismissed as being devoid of merit and disposed of accordingly.
