Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 [IBC]- National Company Law Tribunal Rules, 2016 - Rule 15 ; Indian Contract Act,1872 - Section 74 - The sale purely under the supervision of the Adjudicating Authority, i.e., the NCLT, and the forfeiture condition stipulated by the NCLT while granting extension of time cannot be equated with a forfeiture clause in a contract. (Para 19)

IBC - Time is a crucial facet of the scheme under the IBC and to allow such proceedings to lapse into indefinite delay would plainly defeat the very object of the statute. (Para 18)
