Bankruptcy Order

At the hearing of the petition, the court can issue a bankruptcy order against the judgment debtor. The courts must be content with the proof of debt, the act or bankruptcy and the service of the petition upon making the bankruptcy order.

The court makes a Bankruptcy order after the bankruptcy petition has been accessible. It is usually presented either by creditor’s petition or debtor’s petition. The bankruptcy order lets the Director-General of Insolvency (DGI) be the receiver of the debtor’s property. Upon the courts making the bankruptcy order against the judgment debtor, creditors whose debts are attestable in the bankruptcy shall have any remedy against the property or debtor in respect of the debt, nor are any legal proceedings commenced against the debtor without the leave of the courts.

Insolvency Resolution Process for Individuals and Partnership Firms:

The provisions and processes are designed keeping into account the need of the hour thereby providing a remedy in a time-bound method. Even though provisions have been drafted for the same but they are not being looked up to but other remedial measures are resorted to for seeking a remedy against individuals and partnership firms.

The provisions of the Insolvency Resolution Process for individuals & partnerships are alike to the extent of the corporate insolvency resolution process for corporate persons.
