A federal whistleblower has submitted an extraordinary legal challenge to the bankruptcy proceedings of Wellpath Holdings, Inc., alleging systematic procedural misconduct and constitutional violations by private equity firm H.I.G. Capital. Dr. Kanwar Partap Singh Gill, a board-certified physician, filed a comprehensive 300-page emergency motion suite that represents the most extensive whistleblower submission in federal bankruptcy history.
The legal challenge centers on claims that the bankruptcy reorganization is not a legitimate debt restructuring, but instead a calculated attempt to eliminate billions in potential legal exposure through manipulative tactics. Dr. Gill argues that the process involves non-consensual third-party releases, ballot manipulation, and judicial docket suppression.
Between April 14 and April 22, 2025, Dr. Gill submitted eight verified filings raising formal objections, including allegations of ADA retaliation, ERISA fiduciary breaches, and governance violations. However, he claims these objections were not publicly recorded, creating a misleading impression of creditor consensus.
The 75-motion filing seeks to strike plan documents, invalidate voting ballots, disqualify legal representatives, and enforce constitutional due process rights. The motions invoke protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act, ERISA, and various bankruptcy statutes.
A confirmation hearing is scheduled for April 30, 2025, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Dr. Gill contends that the confirmation cannot legally proceed while 75 verified motions remain unresolved and has declared intentions to pursue post-confirmation remedies through multiple legal channels.
The case highlights potential systemic vulnerabilities in bankruptcy proceedings, particularly concerning the influence of private equity firms and the protection of whistleblower rights. By challenging the process so comprehensively, Dr. Gill's actions could potentially establish important legal precedents regarding transparency and due process in corporate bankruptcy scenarios.
