ARUN KUMAR JAGATRAMKA VS JINDAL STEEL AND POWER LIMITED - 2021 0 Supreme(SC) 144 : The judgment in Y Shivram Prasad v. S Dhanapal [2019 SCC OnLine NCLAT 172] allows for the revival of a company during the liquidation process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, by enabling the appointment of a liquidator under Section 34 of the IBC to propose a scheme of compromise or arrangement under Section 230 of the Companies Act, 2013. The NCLAT held that such a scheme is permissible to prevent the ''''death by liquidation'''' of the corporate debtor, particularly when the company is in liquidation following the failure of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). The court emphasized that the liquidator''''s role includes attempting revival through Section 230 schemes, provided they align with the IBC''''s objectives. This decision was later reinforced by amendments to the Liquidation Process Regulations to explicitly recognize the process under Section 230. The judgment thus establishes that a company can be revived even during liquidation under the IBC, through a scheme of compromise or arrangement under Section 230, as long as it serves the purpose of corporate revival and is consistent with the IBC''''s framework.Checking relevance for GHANSHYAM SARDA VS SHIV SHANKAR TRADING CO. ...

GHANSHYAM SARDA VS SHIV SHANKAR TRADING CO. - 2014 8 Supreme 4 : The judgment allows the revival of the company by affirming that the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a sick industrial company has revived. The court held that a suit for declaration that the company is no longer sick is not maintainable before a civil court, as Section 26 of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985, expressly excludes the jurisdiction of civil courts in such matters. The BIFR alone is competent to examine audited balance sheets and determine whether the company has ceased to be sick. The court further ruled that the civil court erred in issuing an injunction and in holding that the BIFR had lost jurisdiction merely because the company''''s net worth had turned positive, as this determination must be made by the BIFR. The appeals were allowed, and the company''''s revival process was upheld under the BIFR''''s supervisory control.Checking relevance for GLAS Trust Company LLC VS BYJU Raveendran...

GLAS Trust Company LLC VS BYJU Raveendran - 2024 0 Supreme(SC) 964 : The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) granted liberty to the appellant (a financial creditor) to seek revival of its Section 7 petition under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, depending on subsequent developments at the appellate level. This is explicitly stated in the Section 7 Order dated 16 July 2024, where the NCLT directed: ''''However, at the request of the Learned Senior Counsel for the Petitioner, we hereby grant liberty to the Petitioner to seek restoration/revival of the said petition bearing C.P (IB) No.55/BB/2024 depending on the subsequent developments in the matter at the Appellate level; if any.'''' This provision constitutes a judicially recognized mechanism for the revival of a company petition under Section 7 of the IBC, and the judgment confirms that such revival is permissible based on appellate developments.Checking relevance for Meghal Homes Pvt. Ltd. VS Shree Niwas Girni K. K. Samiti...

Meghal Homes Pvt. Ltd. VS Shree Niwas Girni K. K. Samiti - 2007 6 Supreme 387 : The judgment allows the revival of Shreeniwas Cotton Mills Limited (SCML) by upholding the Company Court''''s power to accept a compromise or arrangement under Section 391 of the Companies Act, 1956, even after the company had been ordered to be wound up. The court held that the scheme proposed by the Somanis, which envisaged development and transfer of SCML’s property by LBPL, generation of liquidity to pay off all creditors, and the potential for SCML to start a viable industry in rural Maharashtra if surplus funds were available, constituted a valid revival scheme. The court emphasized that the purpose of Section 391 is the revival of a company, including one in liquidation, and that the Company Court has the authority to accept such a scheme before the final order under Section 481 is passed. The appeals were allowed and the matter was remitted back to the Company Court for further proceedings, effectively permitting the revival of the company through the approved scheme.

• Revival of Company Allowed - Courts have recognized the legal basis for reviving companies under specific circumstances. For example, the appellate court set aside an order that rejected a company's revival application, noting that the consent terms explicitly contemplated revival in case of default, and rejecting such a revival would deny the creditor their rightful remedy ["Archangles Distributors Pvt. Ltd. vs Ideal Financing Corporation Ltd. - National Company Law Appellate Tribunal"].

• Judicial Support for Revival under Legal Frameworks - Courts have upheld revival proceedings based on statutory provisions and schemes for revival, emphasizing that revival is not merely resuming business but also involves utilizing assets effectively. For instance, schemes filed for revival of companies in liquidation have been approved when the applicant demonstrated bona fide intent, compliance with statutory requirements, and submitted necessary statutory documents ["Rajendra Kumar C., Morzaria, S/o C. G. Morzaria vs Kirit Morzaria S/o C. G. Morzaria - Karnataka"], ["Sandeep Mehra VS Registrar of Companies Punjab and Chandigarh - National Company Law Tribunal"].

• Revival Orders as Final and Appellate Orders - Revival judgments are recognized as final orders subject to appellate jurisdiction. The courts have confirmed that proper notices and participation in revival proceedings satisfy procedural requirements, making revival orders valid and enforceable ["Kai Hansjurgens vs Donald H. Bailey - Eleventh Circuit"].

• Conditions for Revival - Courts require that revival must involve genuine business revival capable of serving creditors and the public interest, not just asset transfer or mere corporate existence resumption. The revival process involves fulfilling statutory obligations, such as filing outstanding financial statements and paying necessary fees ["M/S SHREE JAGANNTH STEELS LTD. ( IN LIQN.) HYDERABAD vs INDIAN BANK CHENNAI - Telangana"].

• Documentation and Compliance for Revival - Successful revival depends on submitting comprehensive documents like statutory filings, balance sheets, affidavits, and undertaking compliance commitments. Courts have directed companies to satisfy statutory conditions, including payment of revival costs and filing pending returns, to facilitate revival ["RAJ PHARMA PRIVATE LIMITED VS Resgitrar of Companies Chennai - National Company Law Tribunal"].

Analysis and ConclusionCourts in India have consistently upheld the legality of revival orders for companies, provided that applicants demonstrate bona fide intent, fulfill statutory requirements, and follow due process. Revival is recognized as a legitimate remedy to restore companies facing winding-up or strike-off, especially when supported by proper documentation and compliance. The main points from the sources indicate that judicial authorities are willing to allow revival when the company’s revival scheme is genuine, statutory obligations are met, and procedural norms are followed. Therefore, a judgment permitting revival typically involves setting aside rejection orders, allowing submission of statutory documents, and confirming the company's intent and capacity to resume business activities ["Archangles Distributors Pvt. Ltd. vs Ideal Financing Corporation Ltd. - National Company Law Appellate Tribunal"], ["Rajendra Kumar C., Morzaria, S/o C. G. Morzaria vs Kirit Morzaria S/o C. G. Morzaria - Karnataka"].
