A debtor who is an individual (or the bankrupt after an order commencing bankruptcy proceedings is issued; the same applies below in this Section, except for paragraph (4)) may file a petition to the bankruptcy court for grant of discharge within a period from the day on which a petition to commence bankruptcy proceedings is filed until one month has elapsed since the day on which an order commencing bankruptcy proceedings becomes final and binding.
When the debtor referred to in the preceding paragraph (referred to below as the "debtor" in this Section) is unable to file a petition for grant of discharge within the period prescribed in that paragraph due to grounds not attributable to them, they may file the petition only within one month after the grounds cease to exist.
