Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by M/s. Reliance Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. against the NCLAT's decision, which upheld the NCLT's rejection of the application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The court found that the appellant failed to establish the necessary grounds for initiating insolvency proceedings against M/s Hotel Poonja International Pvt. Ltd., the corporate debtor. The judgment reinforces the standards for admitting applications under the IBC, emphasizing the need for clear evidence of default.
