The appeal was filed by Mr. Suresh Narayan Singh, representing 284 workers of Tayo Rolls Limited ('Corporate Debtor'), against an order dated January 3, 2018, passed by the Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), Kolkata Bench. The Adjudicating Authority had rejected the application under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (I&B Code) filed by the Appellant on the ground that such applications must be filed by the 'Operational Creditor' individually and not jointly. The Adjudicating Authority also noted the impracticality of multiple 'Operational Creditors' filing a joint petition, as they would need to issue individual claim notices under Section 8 of the I&B Code.
