The case as a story — who wanted what, the twist, the verdict. Walk out able to tell it over dinner.
The questions, an interactive chart of the mechanism, and the holdings you may cite — in the Court’s own words.
The over-readings that trip up even seniors, both edges of the sword, and a live test on your own brief.
A locked-down nation asked the Court to waive its loans. The answer: economic policy is almost court-proof — no total waiver, no forced extension — but interest-on-interest was struck for every borrower, and refunded.
A parent rescued, a lender paid ₹38.87 crore, and a subsidiary still owing the balance. Why resolving the guarantor did not erase the borrower’s debt — and why buying the parent did not buy the subsidiary’s land.
A ₹6,000-crore claim the calendar seemed to have killed — and a tribunal at war with its own precedent. Compelled to prepare, never compelled to admit: the case that made a company’s own books exhibit one in every limitation fight.
A sister company’s ₹1.60-crore rescue at NIL interest — thrown out by two tribunals as not “financial” debt. Two words in the definition said otherwise: “if any”. The case that gave friendly loans a seat at the creditors’ table.
A ₹104-crore resignation, a petition filed three weeks before the ban existed — killed by it anyway. Section 10A runs on the date of default, not the date of filing: the case that fixed the COVID window for good.
A TV dance show, a ₹20-lakh bill, and one angry email from 2015. When does a real dispute stop an insolvency petition — and when is a defence mere bluster? The three questions every s. 9 case now begins from.
The bank knocked fifteen months after the deadline seemed to pass — and was in time. A settlement letter and one note in the company’s own balance sheet restarted the clock: how s. 18 acknowledgments really work under the Code.
Parliament built a gate on the homebuyer’s petition — 100 allottees or 10% — and a shield over rescued companies. Both survived. The Gate, the Shield, and the clock that decided who was caught in between.
Who may bid for a bankrupt company? Two global giants, two hidden family skeletons, two eve-of-bid cover-ups — and the see-through provision that caught them both.
More landmarks are added as they clear the verbatim check — the collection grows case by case.
The public hears a story. The bar argues the ratio. The bench watches for what everyone else missed. Most legal writing picks one audience and loses the others — each page here serves all three, at three depths, and lets you stop at any level with something complete.
