High Court Can Quash Ad Interim Injunction Order Granted By Civil Court In Suit Barred Under IBC: Kerala High Court

The Kerala High Court has ruled that it can quash an ad-interim injunction granted by a civil court if the suit is barred under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), exercising its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution. Justice K. Natarajan emphasized that civil courts are barred from entertaining suits where the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) has jurisdiction. This decision ensures that illegal orders passed by civil courts in matters exclusively under IBC can be set aside, upholding the supremacy of the IBC and preventing parallel proceedings that undermine the insolvency framework.
