About the Firm
Who We Are
SK Legal Partners
SK Legal Partners is a Partnership Firm of Advocates formed by Adv. Ranjeet Sonker and Adv. Mohd. Farhan Khan. The firm combines Allahabad-based insolvency and criminal litigation expertise with Supreme Court practice and metropolitan jurisdiction coverage in Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune.
Both partners bring distinct but complementary strengths — Adv. Sonker's grounding in NCLT insolvency proceedings and High Court criminal practice, and Adv. Khan's appellate experience and multi-jurisdictional presence across India's commercial capitals.
"Effective advocacy begins with preparation outside the courtroom. Attention to facts, statutory framework, and procedural compliance ensures stronger representation inside it."
The firm handles matters in criminal law, insolvency and bankruptcy, commercial and corporate disputes, matrimonial litigation, writ and constitutional matters, and regulatory proceedings. It also provides online advisory and representation services for clients across India where physical presence is not possible.
The firm has handled matters involving foreign nationals and NRI clients — including cross-border matrimonial disputes, enforcement of foreign court orders and arbitral awards in India, and advisory on Indian legal proceedings for clients based abroad. Consultations for international clients are conducted via video call across time zones.
Our Approach
Each matter is handled with a structured approach that includes early assessment of legal risk and maintainability, strong document-based pleadings, effective use of interim and constitutional remedies, and coordinated strategy where civil and criminal proceedings run in parallel.
The firm does not accept instructions it cannot handle with diligence. Every matter is assessed at the outset for forum suitability, legal strength, and strategic clarity before representation is undertaken.

Our Principles
What guides us
Preparation over performance
The quality of a case in court reflects the quality of work done before. We invest in analysis, research, and drafting before any hearing.
Forum-specific planning
Strategy is not generic. NCLT proceedings, High Court writ petitions, and Supreme Court appeals each require distinct procedural knowledge and preparation.
Honest assessment
We tell clients what the law says — not what they wish to hear. An honest legal assessment at the outset prevents wasted effort and resources.
Coordinated representation
Where civil and criminal proceedings run parallel — as they often do in commercial and matrimonial matters — the firm coordinates strategy across forums.

Key Hurdles for Creditors and Debtors in Initiating IBC Cases Before NCLT
Adv. Ranjeet Sonker
Advocate · Allahabad High Court & NCLT
April 2026 · IBC, Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, NCLT
Introduction
Does India have a legal framework to deal with corporate insolvency and bankruptcy? Yes — India enacted the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC), which has played a significant role in streamlining insolvency resolution in recent times. The IBC comes into play when different types of entities fail to pay debt. It regulates the insolvency and bankruptcy process of individuals, partnership firms, and corporate persons in a time-bound manner, aiming to maximise the value of assets for all stakeholders.
Bankruptcy is the legal process where an individual, business, or organisation declares that it cannot repay its debts. The debtor approaches the court and files a petition. The court then declares the entity unable to repay, takes responsibility for liquidation of assets, and distributes the proceeds to creditors. In contrast, in cases of insolvency, it is the creditor who approaches the court and files a petition to initiate insolvency proceedings against the defaulting entity.
Section 5(1) of the IBC states that the Adjudicating Authority for the purposes of this part shall be the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), constituted under Section 408 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Adjudicating Authority initiates the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), which must be completed within 180 days from the date of admission of the application, extendable by 90 days. The maximum permissible period is 330 days.
Though the IBC is an amending and consolidating Act, legal challenges persist — including jurisdictional conflicts between the NCLT, High Courts, and the Supreme Court. Both creditors and debtors face challenges such as procedural rigour and documentary compliance, determination of default, risk of admission and loss of management control, co-ordination with parallel proceedings, lack of awareness, and negotiation pressure.
What are the Challenges Faced by Creditors?
The IBC recognises two principal types of creditors. Financial Creditors are defined under Section 5(7) — these are creditors who had a purely financial relationship with the company through loans, debentures, or securities. Operational Creditors are defined under Section 5(20) — those who had a relationship with the debtor based on supply of goods or services.
Challenges Faced by Financial Creditors
Delays in Admission of the Petition: The IBC mandates 14 days for admission or rejection, but in practice NCLT takes months due to heavy pendency, incomplete filings, and judicial scrutiny of documents — frustrating the objective of time-bound resolution.
Proof and Documentation Disputes: Financial creditors must submit sanction letters, loan agreements, account statements, and default certificates from the Information Utility. Any mismatch or discrepancy gives the corporate debtor grounds to contest, leading to technical dismissal or repeated adjournments.
Financial Debt and Default Disputes: The nature of the transaction is often disputed — the corporate debtor may characterise it as equity, investment, or an unsecured advance. Whether a transaction falls within the definition of "financial debt" is frequently litigated.
Multiplicity of Proceedings: Multiple parallel proceedings — civil suits, SARFAESI proceedings, DRT cases — may run alongside IBC proceedings, and sometimes NCLT refuses admission on this basis.
Co-ordination with Other Creditors: In consortium loans or cases involving homebuyers, achieving consensus to initiate CIRP becomes complex. Banks must also follow RBI norms and inter-creditor agreements, causing delays.
Information Asymmetry: The absence of centrally verified financial records of debtors, and suppression of financial data by debtors, makes it difficult to conclusively prove default.
Cost and Time of CIRP: After admission, the CIRP process is costly and resolution often extends well beyond 330 days.
Resolution vs Liquidation: CIRP often ends in liquidation due to the absence of a viable resolution plan.
Subordination in Distribution: Despite having priority over operational creditors, recovery for financial creditors is often minimal after CIRP costs and workmen dues are deducted.
Challenges Against Guarantors: Proceedings against personal guarantors are handled separately before NCLT, creating parallel litigation and procedural delay.
Limited Post-Resolution Role: After a resolution plan is approved, financial creditors have restricted control over enforcement and monitoring, leading to post-resolution compliance issues.
Challenges Faced by Operational Creditors
Operational creditors — suppliers, service providers, and vendors — often face greater procedural and practical challenges compared to financial creditors.
Limited Rights in CoC: They have no voting rights in the Committee of Creditors and cannot influence how a resolution plan proceeds, unless they are among the top creditors by value.
Difficulty in Proving Debt and Default: Invoices and delivery challans are easily disputed on grounds that goods were defective, service was poor, or work was incomplete. Verbal contracts further complicate matters, leading to allegations of pre-existing dispute and rejection of the petition.
Low Recovery Value: Operational creditors receive only a fraction of their claims under the Section 53 waterfall mechanism.
Cost and Complexity: Filing a Section 9 petition requires a statutory demand notice in Form 3 or Form 4 and strict procedural compliance.
Dependence on Debtor's Response: If the corporate debtor replies alleging a pre-existing dispute, the Section 9 petition is liable to be rejected.
Lack of Access to Financial Records: Operational creditors have no access to the debtor's financial records to verify insolvency status or confirm default.
Parallel Remedies: They are often compelled to pursue parallel remedies — civil suits, MSME Facilitation Council, recovery notices — simultaneously.
Delay in Admission: Months of delay in admission exhaust the practical value of their claims.
MSME-Specific Challenges: Micro and small enterprises often lack awareness and legal representation in IBC proceedings.
Individual Filings Required: Each operational creditor must file a separate petition under Section 9 — they cannot consolidate claims — making the process more expensive.
What are the Challenges Faced by Debtors?
Debtors can approach the NCLT either voluntarily when bankrupt, or to defend Section 7 and Section 9 petitions filed by creditors. Though the IBC aims at revival, corporate debtors often face significant procedural and practical challenges.
Fear of Immediate Management Takeover: Once CIRP is initiated, management and the board are suspended and a Resolution Professional takes control of the company.
Admission on Technical Grounds: Some petitions are admitted merely on the basis of default certificates or balance confirmations without adequate judicial scrutiny.
Misuse of IBC as a Recovery Tool: The IBC can be — and is — misused as a pressure mechanism by operational creditors seeking recovery of dues rather than genuine insolvency resolution.
Overlapping Parallel Proceedings: Corporate debtors face multiple simultaneous actions under IBC, SARFAESI Act, and other recovery laws.
Reputation and Business Impact: Admission of CIRP is published publicly, leading to loss of goodwill, disruption of contracts, and withdrawal of customers even before resolution begins.
Inconsistent Judicial Approach: Different NCLT benches interpret default and dispute differently, leading to inconsistent outcomes.
Difficulty in Reaching Settlement: Withdrawal after admission requires 90% CoC approval, which is procedurally difficult to achieve.
Prolonged CIRP Timelines: Prolonged CIRP leads to erosion of asset value and often results in liquidation.
Exposure of Promoters and Guarantors: Parallel proceedings lead to attachment of personal assets and potential lifetime disqualification under Section 29A.
Lack of Post-Resolution Relief: Even after a successful resolution, operational hurdles, tax demands, and other liabilities make revival difficult.
Practical Tips and Strategic Considerations
For Creditors — Maintain accurate loan records, sanction letters, and interest computations. Conduct internal audits and cross-verify accounts with the corporate debtor to reduce or prevent default disputes. Pre-filing communication with the debtor can significantly reduce procedural challenges.
For Debtors — Maintain complete financial statements, bank records, proof of repayments, reconciliations, and communications regarding defaults. This strengthens credibility and transparency and facilitates smoother proceedings before the NCLT.
Timely Legal and Professional Advice: Consultation with legal counsel or an insolvency professional early helps both creditors and debtors identify gaps, assess risk, and ensure compliance with IBC timelines — reducing procedural delay and improving outcomes.
Negotiation and Early Resolution: Engaging in settlement or structured repayment plans before filing can save both parties time, cost, and reputational risk. This not only resolves the dispute but preserves the business relationship and may prevent unnecessary CIRP proceedings entirely.
How Courts Interpret and Clarify Legal Provisions
Courts have, through judicial interpretation, established several important principles under the IBC. Key pronouncements are set out below.
Determination of Operational Creditor vs Financial Creditor
New Okhla Industrial Development Authority vs Anand Sonbhadra (2022) — Supreme Court
The Supreme Court held that NOIDA is an operational creditor, not a financial creditor. The word "disbursed" in Section 5(8) implies that disbursal of debt is an essential prerequisite for a transaction to qualify as "financial debt". Since no payment was made by the lessor (NOIDA) to the lessee (the corporate debtor), it cannot result in financial debt and therefore NOIDA cannot be treated as a financial creditor.
Interest-Free Loans and Financial Debt
Orator Marketing Pvt. Ltd vs Samtex Desinz Pvt. Ltd (2021) — Supreme Court
The Supreme Court held that Section 5(8) of the IBC does not clearly exclude interest-free loans from the definition of "financial debt". Accordingly, an interest-free loan falls within the definition and the lender can be considered a financial creditor, entitled to initiate CIRP on default.
Notice to Operational Creditors by Resolution Professional
ANG Industries Ltd. vs Shal Brothers Ispa Pvt. Ltd and Ors. (2018) — Supreme Court
The Supreme Court clarified that under Section 24(3), the Resolution Professional is required to give notice of CoC meetings not only to members of the Committee of Creditors but also to the suspended Board of Directors. Operational creditors must also be informed to attend CoC meetings if their aggregate dues are not less than ten percent of the total debt.
Flat Buyers as Financial Creditors
Nikhil Mehta and Sons and Ors. vs AMR Infrastructure Ltd. (2017) — NCLT Principal Bench
Flat buyers were held to be covered under the expression "Financial Creditors" and are entitled to initiate insolvency proceedings against a builder in cases of non-delivery of the unit or non-payment of assured/committed returns.
Section 7 Application When Winding-Up Already Initiated
Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd. vs Shree Ram Urban Infrastructure Ltd. (2018) — NCLAT
The NCLAT held that winding-up is synonymous with liquidation — the second stage of the insolvency process. Where winding-up proceedings have already been initiated by a High Court, CIRP cannot be initiated under the IBC.
Pre-Existing Dispute and Section 9 Petition
Meyer Apparel Ltd. and Ors vs Surbhi Body Products Pvt. Ltd and Ors. (2017) — NCLAT
Even a dispute relating to quality of goods, which resulted in a Company Petition before the High Court (even if subsequently withdrawn), constitutes a "dispute" within the meaning of Section 8(2) of the Code. The Section 9 petition of an operational creditor is therefore not maintainable where such dispute exists.
Conclusion
The IBC was enacted to consolidate, amend, and streamline the existing framework for insolvency and bankruptcy resolution. It aims to provide time-bound resolution plans, restructuring, or liquidation when corporate entities are unable to repay their debts. Legal challenges remain — including cross-border insolvency and structural inconsistencies — for both creditors and debtors.
Both creditors and debtors are required to maintain complete transaction trails, adopt a transparent approach, and think strategically before approaching the Adjudicating Authority. Creditors must determine their status — financial or operational — as it determines whether they file under Section 7 or Section 9, and their rights within the process. Compliance with all regulatory provisions, proper drafting and proofreading of petitions, and close co-ordination with legal counsel leaves no space for the opposing party to exploit procedural gaps.
The IBC forum is not a recovery tool or a pressure mechanism. From time to time, judicial clarification and interpretation provide better understanding of the Code and improve its implementation.
Be organised, transparent, and compliant with the law — and be protected.
