The NCLAT has rejected a "repeat insolvency filing," citing a limitation bar and res judicata. The tribunal's decision was based on the fact that the creditor had already filed an insolvency petition on the same debt, which was dismissed earlier. The ruling prevents the misuse of the IBC as a tool to harass a corporate debtor and reinforces the finality of legal proceedings.
