A practitioner-oriented synthesis of the IBC dispositions that have shaped the first half of 2026 — Elegna's reaffirmation of the mandatory-admission threshold, Embassy Developments' clean reversal at the NCLAT Principal Bench, Gokul Aggarwal on the limits of Section 12A withdrawal post-liquidation, Kejriwal on the personal-guarantor invocation question, the Sunil Kumar Jain order on EPFO assessment within the Section 14 moratorium, and the KLSR Infratech costs order. The piece reads them as a coherent doctrinal map of where insolvency law in India stands at mid-2026.
A clean NCLAT ruling on a question that had been quietly bedeviling resolution professionals across the country: can the EPFO continue assessment proceedings during a moratorium under Section 14 of the IBC? The Tribunal has held that it cannot — and that an assessment order passed during CIRP is, accordingly, unenforceable against the corporate debtor.
