Vidarbha Industries

Supreme Court of India · 2022

In Vidarbha Industries, the Supreme Court held that the old wording of Section 7(5) ("may admit") gave the N.C.L.T. a discretion over a financial creditor's application. Even after a proved default, the Tribunal could weigh factors such as the company's overall financial health and viability. The ruling caused great uncertainty. It was later confined to its own facts in M. Suresh Kumar Reddy v. Canara Bank, and the lecture says a 2026 amendment settled the point by statute, so it matters mainly as a historical stage in insolvency law.

Corporate Insolvency Law

Mobilox

Supreme Court of India · 2017

The Supreme Court held that an operational creditor's insolvency application must be rejected if a real dispute about the debt existed before the demand notice. The dispute does not have to be pending in a suit or arbitration. The tribunal only checks whether there is a plausible contention that needs further investigation, not whether the defence will finally succeed. The case matters because it makes clear that the Code is not a recovery forum for genuinely disputed operational dues.
