Initiation of Bankruptcy process against a Personal Guarantor – KEB Hana Bank Vs. Mr. Rohit Nath -DRT Chennai Bench (DRT-II)

From the Section 121 of IBC it is clear that an application for bankruptcy of a debtor may be made by a creditor individually or jointly with other creditors or by a debtor, to the Adjudicating Authority under certain circumstances. In the case on hand the secured creditor has filed the application for bankruptcy under Rule 7(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy (Application to Adjudicating Authority for Insolvency Resolution Process for Personal Guarantors to Corporate Debtors) Rules, 2019 to initiate Insolvency Resolution Process as against the Persona guarantor to the Corporate debtors. Further, it is not in dispute that the earlier proceedings initiated by the secured creditor had ended up with this Tribunal rejecting the Resolution Plan submitted by the Resolution Professional under Section 114(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Therefore, as this Tribunal being the Adjudicating Authority had rejected the repayment plan under Section 114, the debtor and the creditors are entitled to file an application for bankruptcy under Chapter IV and therefore the present application of the applicant is maintainable and the secured creditor is entitled to file the application for bankruptcy under Section 123 of the Code.
