Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by Rashmina Hirenkumar Patel against the State Bank of India and others concerning a penalty imposed under the Code of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The Appellant's counsel referenced a prior decision by the Appellate Tribunal in Comp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 1301 of 2026, where a similar penalty was reduced from Rs. 10 lacs to Rs. 5 lacs. The counsel requested that the current appeal be dismissed in light of this previous ruling. The Respondent's counsel did not raise any objections to this request. Consequently, the Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeal, aligning its decision with the earlier case, thereby confirming the reduced penalty without further contest. The Tribunal's decision was made in a hybrid mode and involved members from both judicial and technical backgrounds.
