Evolution of Bankruptcy Legislation in India: A Comparative Analysis on its Historical Perspective
Keywords:
Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Common Law, LegislationAbstract
Bankruptcy law introduced across the globe for recovery of debt because unpaid demand has
a bad impact on any country’s growth and economy. But the question is whether the word
‘Bankrupt’ well known to the common man, or it is just another vague legal term? Bankruptcy
can be defined simply as a condition when a person owes something from someone,
somebody, or group of somebody but unable to repay or clear its due. In India, before
Insolvency and Bankruptcy code 2016, there was no such complete legislation that completely
focuses or address bankruptcy and insolvency issues of the Country. It was introduced to
tackle the situation. Unfortunately, till now nothing seems to work. In this article, I have tried
to analyse this legislation to identify why the numbers of debt defaulter are increasing and to
find what could be the reason for their escape from the loophole of this code.

45. The Act of Henry VIII is very much misunderstood by some historians. Crabb. for instance, is of t he opinion that the framers of the statute had in mind the Roman imperial law, which, softening the rigor of the Ten Tables, directed that if a debtor ceded all his goods to his creditors, he was secured from being dragged to prison. Crabb's “History of English Law.* p. 455. Coke speaks. vi: . costly buildings, costly diet, and costly apparel, accompanied with neglect of trades and I servants, and because the preamble of this Act resembles that of the Act of Henry VIII directed against fraudulent alienations, Reeves infers that its purpose was merely to meet the taste of debtors fraudulently concealing or disposing of their goods to their own use or to the use of favored creditors, so as to defraud their other creditors, and evading the process of law by absconding. Reeves . History of English Law. Vol. 4. p. 381. That the Act in its purpose was far more significant than suggested by Reeves is apparent from an examination of the legislative preliminaries. Infra, note 53.
