SELECTIVE LITIGATION: THE TRUE PURPOSE OF I.B.C.
MORATORIUM
Srijan Jha*
ABSTRACT
Since its entry in the field of insolvency resolution, moratorium
has been a hot topic for discussion. The essential requirement is to know
and be able to ascertain the right time within which the fiscal health of the
concern could be decided and the optimal outcome for all could be
achieved.
The paper briefly discusses the considerations that have been there
since 1909, when the first Insolvency Act in India came into force. An
understanding of how things stood and how they are today is
indispensable for scrutiny of all the constructs. This discussion has been
further augmented by the English practice of moratorium stays.
This paper at its core enquires into the nature of Section 14 of the
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 in the light of recent decisions of
the Supreme Court, various High Courts, and the National Company Law
Tribunal, owing to the recent decisions of the N.C.L.T., High Courts and
Supreme Court. This papers attempts to find the balance between the
overriding interpretation of I.B.C. moratorium and a more moderated
consideration of other references, such as the Sick Industrial Companies
