Electronic Judgement References


Chairman’s Message
Dear Insolvency Practitioner,

I am happy to note that the Knowledge SBU of the Indian Institute of Insolvency
Professionals of ICAI (IIIPI) has taken this initiative to publish a digital book
of orders issued by NCLAT, High Courts and the Supreme Court on Corporate
Insolvency Resolution Processes (CIRP) for the period April – September 2018. Justice (Retd.) A.R. Dave
Chairman-IIIPI
The “e-Juris” eBook is expected to be a useful instrument in the hands of Insolven-
cy Practitioners for a ready reference to case laws in the fast-evolving landscape
of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. Out of the Four Pillars of the Code, the
role of the Adjudicating Authority and the related judicature assumes enormous
significance since their interpretation of the provisions forms the basis of the
outcomes.

The decisions of the Appellate Authorities of NCLAT, High Courts and the Su-
preme Court, therefore, have a significant role in the evolving legal framework by
providing direction and guidance to the stakeholders.

I am confident that the initiative by the K-SBU of IIIPI will prove to be of value for
speedier references and ease of decision making by all stakeholders.
President’s Message
Dear Insolvency Practitioner,
I am pleased that Insolvency Professional Agency, IIIPI, has introduced a welcome
innovation by way of their electronic book, “e-Juris”, to make available the recent orders
of various designated authorities.

One of the most remarkable changes in the present body of Indian jurisprudence has
been the recent transition from a fragmented legal system dealing with the commercial
CA. Naveen N.D. Gupta
demise of enterprises to a unified Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2016 (IBC). This President
also requires a new approach to reaching out to users for optimising outcomes– hence The Institute of Chartered
this initiative. Accountants of India

The role of the stakeholders is also becoming increasingly complex as the applicable
jurisprudence evolves rapidly with the passage of time. This can broadly be divided into
Managing the Process and Managing the Corporate.

In both the above instances, the role of the judicial bodies becomes critical as their orders
not only provide a resolution for the issue under reference but also pave the way forward
by setting a precedence for future action. As such, a handy reference to orders on record
is likely to be of considerable assistance to the insolvency practitioners.

I am advised that the present issue of “e-Juris” will be followed by other compilations to
conveniently bridge the information availability gap for the IBC stakeholders.

My best wishes to IIIPI for the initiative.


CEO’S Message
Dear Insolvency Practitioner,

The fast-changing landscape of emerging jurisprudence is effectively re-writing


the legal benchmarks of Insolvency and Bankruptcy regulations. Possibly, nowhere
in the world has the stream of rulings and regulations erected such a formidable
structure of edicts and enactments in so short a time. Sunil Pant
CEO-IIIPI
The effectiveness of the above process depends substantially on the ready
accessibility of the practitioners to the body of law as it evolves. To facilitate the task,
the Knowledge SBU (K-SBU) of IIIPI has published the decisions of the NCLAT,
High Courts and Supreme Courts in in the form of an eBook – “e-Juris”.

e-Juris provides the list of orders issued by the above three bodies in a simple PDF
format with a headline reference hyperlinked to the related order. In the present
version, an attempt has been made to provide a limited search facility, which will
be reviewed based on your feedback.

We look forward to your suggestions to build on a collaborative approach in this


area with further innovations and initiatives.
