Opposing Revival Applications: Protecting Your Stake in NCLT Proceedings

Root Cause Analysis

Revival applications, while intended to breathe life back into struggling companies, can sometimes do more harm than good. The underlying cause often stems from a misalignment of interests. While the applicant may genuinely believe in the company’s potential, existing stakeholders like creditors, minority shareholders, or even former directors might see the revival plan as detrimental to their own financial well-being. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), while providing a framework, can be complex to navigate, leading to delays, backlogs, and ultimately, increased anxiety for all parties involved. Furthermore, inadequate legal strategy or a lack of understanding of the specific grounds for opposition can significantly weaken a stakeholder’s position. Non-compliance with procedural requirements adds another layer of complexity, potentially leading to dismissal of valid objections.

Common Mistakes Businesses Make

Companies, directors, and creditors often stumble when opposing revival applications. A prevalent error is neglecting to conduct a thorough due diligence of the proposed revival plan, failing to identify hidden risks or unrealistic projections. Another common mistake is missing critical deadlines for filing objections, a seemingly small oversight with devastating consequences. Many also fail to secure experienced legal representation early in the process, leaving them vulnerable to procedural missteps and strategic disadvantages. Furthermore, stakeholders sometimes lack a clear understanding of the permissible grounds for opposition, weakening their arguments before the NCLT. Lastly, the complexity of NCLT proceedings can overwhelm parties, leading to incomplete documentation or poorly presented arguments. Prospect Legal anticipates these pitfalls, guiding you to avoid these common errors and strengthen your position.

Real-World Case Study

Consider the case of Kishan Kumar, Director of Arya Enterprises, a small-scale manufacturing unit. Arya Enterprises was owed a significant sum by Dharam Infotech Pvt Ltd, a company undergoing insolvency proceedings. A revival application was filed for Dharam Infotech, but Kishan believed the proposed plan undervalued Arya Enterprises’ outstanding debt and favored other creditors. Initially overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed, Kishan approached Prospect Legal. Our team swiftly conducted a thorough due diligence of the revival plan, identifying several flaws in its financial projections and the proposed repayment schedule. We drafted a strong objection highlighting the detrimental impact on Arya Enterprises and represented Kishan at the NCLT hearings. Ultimately, the NCLT, based on our arguments, directed Dharam Infotech to revise its revival plan to provide a fairer repayment to Arya Enterprises. Kishan’s business was saved from significant financial loss, all thanks to a clear understanding of the law and effective legal representation.
