Adjudicating Authority Can Extend Time Limit Of PPIRP Beyond 120 Days: NCLAT New Delhi

The NCLAT New Delhi ruled that the adjudicating authority has the discretion to extend the time limit for the Pre-Packaged Insolvency Resolution Process (PPIRP) beyond 120 days. The case involved a PPIRP application where the resolution process exceeded the statutory 120-day period. The Tribunal noted that the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) allows for extensions in exceptional circumstances.

The decision reinforced the importance of judicial discretion in insolvency proceedings.
