Facts of the Case
In the instant case, the financial creditor filed an instant application under section 7 on account of the corporate debtor’s failure to repay the loan amount. It was noted that after the account of the corporate debtor became NPA, restructuring of the loan account had been done and a new time schedule was prescribed which was acted upon by both sides.
Thus, there was an established fact situation of novation of contract between parties whereby earlier agreement stood extinguished and parties were governed by the new agreement.
NCLT Held
The NCLT held that since the instant application was based upon an event which became invalid in view of the subsequent contractual agreement between parties it was an instance of the premature application. Thus, the instant application was liable to be dismissed.
