SUBJECT INDEX

It gives me great pleasure in presenting the fourth edition of this work, which is a thoroughly revised and updated version of this classical treatise. In India, prior to the enactment of a single unified Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, for all legal entities, the corporate insolvency procedure (CIRP) was governed by three legislations, namely, the Companies Act, 2013, Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA), and SARFAESI Act, 2002. As at that time there was no specific legislation relating to insolvency of companies, the courts have been applying the insolvency principles in matters relating to insolvent companies under the aforesaid statutes. As far as matters relating to insolvency of individuals, sole proprietorships, and partnership firms are concerned, the law contained in two statutes applied, namely, the Presidency Towns Insolvency Act, 1909, and the Provincial Insolvency Act, 1920. However, with the enactment of the IBC, 2016, the said acts have been repealed by section 243(1) of the code. But under the same provision, notwithstanding the repeal under subsection (1), all proceedings pending under those acts immediately before the commencement of this code shall continue to be governed under the acts of 1909 and 1920, as if those acts had not been repealed. Part III of the Insolvency Code, which is modeled on UK law, contains a robust mechanism of insolvency resolution and bankruptcy for individuals and partnership firms. The provisions of this Part have not so far been notified (except section 79 insofar as it relates to personal guarantors to corporate debtors) and hence not implemented. ---provided by publisher
