Absolutely, as long as they file their Complaint objecting to the discharge within the time limits set forth at the beginning of the bankruptcy case (and for certain types of debts, there is no deadline). The "creditor's meeting" has nothing to do with objecting to the discharge of a debt. It has little to do with anything, to be honest, other than being a requirement of the DEBTOR to attend.
