As required under Regulation 6 of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016, a public announcement was made by the Interim Resolution Professional. This announcement was published in two newspapers in Kochi, namely The Financial Express (English) and Metro Vaartha (Malayalam), and two newspapers in Mumbai, namely The Financial Express (English) and Avakal (Marathi). The announcement was also published on the website of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India to invite claims.

At the second meeting of the Committee of Creditors held on 18.12.2023, the Applicant sought approval for the issuance of the Request for Resolution Plan, Evaluation Matrix, appointment of registered valuers, and publication of the invitation for Expression of Interest in Form G. The Committee of Creditors approved all these matters with 100% voting in favour. Form G was first published on 28.12.2023 in The Financial Express, setting 12.01.2024 as the last date for submission of Expression of Interest.
Subsequently, at the third meeting of the Committee of Creditors held on 25.01.2024, the Applicant informed that three Expressions of Interest had been received. In the interest of value maximisation and to invite more competitive bids, the Committee of Creditors approved the withdrawal of the earlier Form G and its re-publication. The Form G was re-published on 30.01.2024, with 14.02.2024 as the new deadline. However, considering that only two new Expressions of Interest were received and four additional parties requested an extension, the Committee of Creditors, in its fourth meeting held on 27.02.2024, approved the withdrawal and re-publication of Form G once again. Accordingly, Form G was published on 07.03.2024, with 22.03.2024 as the last date for submission of Expression of Interest. In response, six new prospective resolution applicants submitted their Expressions of Interest, and four earlier applicants confirmed their continued interest. One applicant, M/s. Luvkush Corporation Private Limited withdrew its Expression of Interest and was refunded the earnest money deposit.
At the fifth meeting of the Committee of Creditors held on 08.04.2024, the Applicant highlighted that the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process was required to be completed within one hundred and eighty days, i.e., by 29.04.2024. Given the timelines involved in the fresh publication and evaluation process, the Committee of Creditors approved a resolution to seek an extension of ninety days under Section 12(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. This Adjudicating Authority, by its order dated 05.06.2024, extended the process till 28.07.2024.
At the seventh meeting held on 29.05.2024, the Applicant informed the Committee of Creditors that out of the ten finalised prospective resolution applicants, three had submitted their resolution plans. The sealed resolution plans were opened before the Committee of Creditors and the resolution applicants to ensure transparency.
The resolution plans submitted by Mr. Suresh Wavia, Mr. Surinder A. Sabhlok, and Derit Infrastructure Private Limited were discussed in detail during the ninth and tenth meetings of the Committee of Creditors. All three applicants expressed their willingness to participate in a challenge mechanism to maximise value. Accordingly, the Committee of Creditors adopted the challenge mechanism as the further course of action.
From the twelfth to the seventeenth meetings of the Committee of Creditors, the challenge mechanism process was conducted with the participation of all three resolution applicants. The members also held individual discussions and negotiations with each applicant. The applicants were allowed to submit final resolution plans incorporating their revised offers. Final plans were received from Mr. Suresh Wavia and Mr. Surinder A. Sabhlok, while Derit Infrastructure Private Limited confirmed that its earlier submission dated 23.08.2024 would be treated as its final plan.
At the seventeenth meeting held on 17.09.2024, the Committee of Creditors was informed that the extended period for completing the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process would end on 27.09.2024. However, since the final revised resolution plans were still under review and subject to diligence and compliance checks, the Committee of Creditors approved for an exclusion of sixty days from the process timeline. This Adjudicating Authority, vide order dated 06.11.2024, granted a further ninety-day extension up to 26.12.2024.
At the twenty-second meeting of the Committee of Creditors held on 28.10.2024, the resolution plans submitted by Mr. Suresh Wavia and Mr. Surinder A. Sabhlok were reviewed for legal compliance. These plans were then placed for e-voting, which commenced on 30.10.2024.
The e-voting on the resolution plans commenced on 30.10.2024 and concluded on 05.02.2025. Upon the conclusion of voting, the Committee of Creditors approved the resolution plan submitted by Mr. Suresh Wavia, with 100% voting in favour.
On 25.08.2025, the Learned Counsel sought time to file Form H in the new format. Subsequently, the revised Form H was filed on 26.08.2025.
During the hearing, this Bench observed that the amount proposed to be paid to the employees of the Corporate Debtor appeared to be on the lower side. It was further noted that, in terms of Section 53 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, the employees are entitled to at least their dues for the period of twelve months preceding the commencement of the insolvency proceedings. Accordingly, the Bench observed that the Committee of Creditors and the Successful Resolution Applicant may reconsider the payments proposed to the employees and directed the Committee of Creditors and the Resolution Professional to explore the possibility of a reallocation of claim amounts to ensure a higher payout to them.
Subsequently, in the 30th meeting of the Committee of Creditors, detailed deliberations were held over three sessions conducted on 10th September 2025, 12th September 2025, and 15th September 2025. After due consideration, the Committee of Creditors restructured the financial proposal under the resolution plan as Second Addendum to the Resolution Plan and passed the following resolution with a voting majority of 89.19%:
"RESOLVED THAT the consent of the Committee of Creditors be and is hereby accorded to approve the Addendum no. 2 dated 13.09.2025 as part of the Resolution Plan dated 17.10.2024 of Mr. Suresh Wavia, as tabled before the Committee of Creditors for their deliberation."

25. REVIVAL PLAN & RATIONALE:
i.The Resolution Applicant proposes a comprehensive revival plan for the Corporate Debtor to restore its financial stability and ensure sustainable operations post-acquisition.

The reasons for the present financial distress of the Corporate Debtor include working capital constraints, failure to generate adequate revenue to service debt, lack of promoter-led liquidity infusion, and the adverse impact of the pandemic on its business. These factors cumulatively led to over-leveraging and eventual default in debt servicing.
iii.The proposed revival strategy focuses on (i) infusion of requisite funds for resolution of insolvency and settlement of claims, (ii) debt restructuring through settlement in accordance with this Resolution Plan to address the issue of over-leveraging, (iii) revival of business operations through optimized utilization of existing assets, and (iv) generation of revenue through operational efficiencies and market re-engagement.
iv.This revival plan provides a viable pathway for turning around the Corporate Debtor, ensuring maximisation of value for stakeholders, and sustaining the Corporate Debtor as a going concern.
26. FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY OF THE PLAN
The Resolution Plan proposed by the Resolution Applicant complies with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, and the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process Regulations, and provides for the revival, construction, refabrication, and development of the assets of the Corporate Debtor, along with the settlement of dues of all Creditors and Stakeholders as detailed in the Financial Proposal forming part of the Plan.

It was submitted that no prejudice would be caused to any party if the Resolution Plan is approved, whereas grave prejudice would be caused to all stakeholders of the Corporate Debtor if the present application is not allowed. The present application is filed bona fide and in the interest of justice.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
The Resolution Professional has submitted that the Resolution Plan is in compliance with the provisions of the Code, and the Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons Regulations, 2016. The relevant compliance details were initially submitted in Form H; subsequently, a revised Form H, in the new format prescribed under the IBBI Notification No. F. No. IBBI/2025-26/GN/REG124 dated 03.04.2025, was filed on 26.08.2025.
It is observed that the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process of the Corporate Debtor had expired on 11.03.2025, and the Resolution Plan had been filed before this Adjudicating Authority prior to the expiry of the CIRP period. It is further noted that no objections have been raised against the Resolution Plan, which had been unanimously approved by the Committee of Creditors with 100% voting share in its favour.
Subsequently, in the 30th meeting of the Committee of Creditors, detailed deliberations were held over three sessions conducted on 10th September 2025, 12th September 2025, and 15th September 2025. During these meetings, the CoC reconsidered and restructured the financial proposal under the Resolution Plan, resulting in the Second Addendum to the Resolution Plan, which was approved with a voting majority of 89.19%.
We observe that since the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process period had already expired, no fresh decision could ordinarily be taken by the Committee of Creditors. However, in the present case, the Committee of Creditors has merely reconsidered and modified the financial allocation within the already approved Resolution Plan, which had been validly approved during the subsistence of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process period. Accordingly, this Adjudicating Authority finds the approval of the Second Addendum to be valid and, in exercise of powers under Rule 11 of the National Company Law Tribunal Rules, 2016, hereby ratifies the said modification to cure the procedural irregularity arising due to the expiry of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process period. It is further noted that the Resolution Professional has filed the revised Form H in the new format, dated 06.10.2025, after incorporating the details of the Second Addendum to the Resolution Plan, and the same is hereby taken on record.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & Ors., (2019) ibclaw.in 08 SC, decided on 05.02.2019, wherein it is held as under;
19...In the present case, however, our focus must be on the dispensation governing the process of approval or rejection of resolution plan by the CoC. The CoC is called upon to consider the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code after it is verified and vetted by the resolution professional as being compliant with all the statutory requirements specified in Section 30(2).
55.Whereas, the discretion of the adjudicating authority (NCLT) is circumscribed by Section 31 limited to scrutiny of the resolution plan ,as approved' by the requisite per cent of voting share of financial creditors. Even in that enquiry, the grounds on which the adjudicating authority can reject the resolution plan is in reference to matters specified in Section 30(2), when the resolution plan does not conform to the stated requirements. Reverting to Section 30(2), the enquiry to be done is in respect of whether the resolution plan provides: (i) the payment of insolvency resolution process costs in a specified manner in priority to the repayment of other debts of the corporate debtor, (ii) the repayment of the debts of operational creditors in prescribed manner, (iii) the management of the affairs of the corporate debtor, (iv) the implementation and supervision of the resolution plan, (v) does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the time being in force, (vi) conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by the Board. The Board referred to is established under Section 188 of the I&B Code. The powers and functions of the Board have been delineated in Section 196 of the I&B Code. None of the specified functions of the Board, directly or indirectly, pertain to regulating the manner in which the financial creditors ought to or ought not to exercise their commercial wisdom during the voting on the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code. The subjective satisfaction of the financial creditors at the time of voting is bound to be a mixed baggage of variety of factors. To wit, the feasibility and viability of the proposed resolution plan and including their perceptions about the general capability of the resolution applicant to translate the projected plan into a reality. The resolution applicant may have given projections backed by normative data but still in the opinion of the dissenting financial creditors, it would not be free from being speculative. These aspects are completely within the domain of the financial creditors who are called upon to vote on the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code.
58.Indubitably, the inquiry in such an appeal would be limited to the power exercisable by the resolution professional under Section 30(2) of the I&B Code or, at best, by the adjudicating authority (NCLT) under Section 31(2) read with Section 31(1) of the I&B Code. No other inquiry would be permissible. Further, the jurisdiction bestowed upon the appellate authority (NCLAT) is also expressly circumscribed. It can examine the challenge only in relation to the grounds specified in Section 61(3) of the I&B Code, which is limited to matters ,other than' enquiry into the autonomy or commercial wisdom of the dissenting financial creditors. Thus, the prescribed authorities (NCLT/NCLAT) have been endowed with limited jurisdiction as specified in the I&B Code and not to act as a court of equity or exercise plenary powers.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Committee of Creditors of Essar Steel India Limited v. Satish Kumar Gupta & Ors., (2019) ibclaw. in 07 SC, held the following:-
42.Thus, it is clear that the limited judicial review available, which can in no circumstance trespass upon a business decision of the majority of the Committee of Creditors, has to be within the four corners of section 30(2) of the Code, insofar as the Adjudicating Authority is concerned, and section 32 read with section 61(3) of the Code, insofar as the Appellate Tribunal is concerned, the parameters of such review having been clearly laid down in K. Sashidhar (supra).
73.There is no doubt whatsoever that the ultimate discretion of what to pay and how much to pay each class or sub-class of creditors is with the Committee of Creditors, but, the decision of such Committee must reflect the fact that it has taken into account maximizing the value of the assets of the corporate debtor and the fact that it has adequately balanced the interests of all stakeholders including operational creditors. This being the case, judicial review of the Adjudicating Authority that the resolution plan as approved by the Committee of Creditors has met the requirements referred to in Section 30(2) would include judicial review that is mentioned in Section 30(2)(e), as the provisions of the Code are also provisions of law for the time being in force. Thus, while the Adjudicating Authority cannot interfere on merits with the commercial decision taken by the Committee of Creditors, the limited judicial review available is to see that the Committee of Creditors has taken into account the fact that the corporate debtor needs to keep going as a going concern during the insolvency resolution process; that it needs to maximise the value of its assets; and that the interests of all stakeholders including operational creditors has been taken care of. If the Adjudicating Authority finds, on a given set of facts, that the aforesaid parameters have not been kept in view, it may send a resolution plan back to the Committee of Creditors to re-submit such plan after satisfying the aforesaid parameters. The reasons given by the Committee of Creditors while approving a resolution plan may thus be looked at by the Adjudicating Authority only from this point of view, and once it is satisfied that the Committee of Creditors has paid attention to these key features, it must then pass the resolution plan, other things being equal.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in India Resurgence Arc Private Limited v. Amit Metaliks Limited and Ors, (2021) ibclaw.in 87 SC, held that
10.As regards the process of consideration and approval of resolution plan, it is now beyond a shadow of doubt that the matter is essentially that of the commercial wisdom of Committee of Creditors and the scope of judicial review remains limited within the four-corners of Section 30(2) of the Code for the Adjudicating Authority; and Section 30(2) read with Section 61(3) for the Appellate Authority.
11.It needs hardly any elaboration that financial proposal in the resolution plan forms the core of the business decision of Committee of Creditors. Once it is found that all the mandatory requirements have been duly complied with and taken care of, the process of judicial review cannot be stretched to carry out quantitative analysis qua a particular creditor or any stakeholder, who may carry his own dissatisfaction. In other words, in the scheme of IBC, every dissatisfaction does not partake the character of a legal grievance and cannot be taken up as a ground of appeal.
12.The provisions of amended sub-section (4) of Section 30 of the Code, on which excessive reliance is placed on behalf of the appellant, in our view, do not make out any case for interference with the resolution plan at the instance of the appellant. The purport and effect of the amendment to sub-section (4) of Section 30 of the Code, by way of subclause (b) of Section 6 of the Amending Act of 2019, was also explained by this Court in Essar Steel(supra), as duly taken note of by the Appellate Authority (vide the extraction hereinbefore).The NCLAT was, therefore, right in observing that such amendment to sub-section (4) of Section 30 only amplified the considerations for the Committee of Creditors while exercising its commercial wisdom so as to take an informed decision in regard to the viability and feasibility of resolution plan, with fairness of distribution amongst similarly situated creditors; and the business decision taken in exercise of the commercial wisdom of CoC does not call for interference unless creditors belonging to a class being similarly situated are denied fair and equitable treatment.
In Vallal RCK vs M/s Siva Industries and Holdings Limited and Others, (Civil Appeal Nos. 1811- 1812 of 2022, (2022) ibclaw.in 63 SC), the Hon'ble Supreme Court held the following
21.This Court has consistently held that the commercial wisdom of the CoC has been given paramount status without any judicial intervention for ensuring completion of the stated processes within the timelines prescribed by the IBC. It has been held that there is an intrinsic assumption, that financial creditors are fully informed about the viability of the corporate debtor and feasibility of the proposed resolution plan. They act on the basis of thorough examination of the proposed resolution plan and assessment made by their team of experts
On going through the Resolution Plan, we are satisfied and note that the Resolution Plan submitted by Mr. Suresh Wavia, is in accordance with Sections 30 and 31 of the Code and also complies with Regulations 38 and 39 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016.
This Adjudicating Authority, having considered the Resolution Plan submitted by Mr. Suresh Wavia, the Successful Resolution Applicant, and taking note of the deliberations and approvals of the Committee of Creditors, is satisfied that the Resolution Plan complies with the provisions of the Code and the relevant Regulations framed thereunder. The Resolution Plan provides for the revival of the Corporate Debtor, settlement of dues of all creditors and stakeholders, and ensures maximisation of value in a fair and equitable manner. We also noted that the financial proposal under the Resolution Plan has been restructured and approved through the Second Addendum, reflecting the commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors.
It is further observed that the Resolution Plan has been thoroughly examined for feasibility and viability, and the proposed mechanisms for implementation, monitoring, and management of the Corporate Debtor post-transfer are robust and comprehensive. The Resolution Plan provides for the settlement of all categories of creditors, including operational, financial, employees and government dues, thereby ensuring legal and financial certainty for all stakeholders.
This Bench has noted that the Liquidation Value of the Corporate Debtor, as computed by the appointed valuer, is Rs. 73,21,00,000/- and the Fair Value is Rs. 101,02,00,000/-, whereas the total Resolution Plan Amount proposed by the Successful Resolution Applicant is Rs. 82,50,00,000/-. Thus, the Plan Value is above the Liquidation Value but falls short of the Fair Value of the Corporate Debtor. However, it is pertinent to note that, at the final stage of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process, only two plans had reached the concluding stage. After detailed deliberations, thorough analysis, and consideration of all future amendments and revisions incorporated in the plans, the Committee of Creditors, exercising its commercial wisdom, unanimously approved the Resolution Plan submitted by the Successful Resolution Applicant with 100% voting share. In view of the above, and considering the extensive efforts, negotiations, and due diligence undertaken by the Resolution Professional and the Committee of Creditors, this Bench is of the view that it is fair, reasonable, and judicious to respect the commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors in approving the Resolution Plan despite the Plan Value being lower than the Fair Value of the Corporate Debtor.
The Successful Resolution Applicant has prayed for certain reliefs and concessions as enumerated under the Resolution Plan approved by the Committee of Creditors. All reliefs or concessions sought under the Resolution Plan shall, however, be considered strictly in accordance with law, as and when legally applicable.
The approval of the Resolution Plan shall not be construed as a waiver of any statutory obligations of the Corporate Debtor. Any such waiver or concession shall be subject to the approval of the competent authority in the light of the Judgment of the Supreme Court in Ghanshyam Mishra and Sons Private Limited v. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited ((2021) 13 S.C.R 737), which held as follows:
"on the date of approval of the Resolution Plan by the Adjudicating Authority, all such claims, which are not a part of resolution plan, shall stand extinguished and no person will be entitled to initiate or continue any proceedings in, respect to a claim, which is not part of the resolution plan." "95. (i) Once a resolution plan is duly approved by the adjudicating authority under sub-section (1) of Section 31, the claims as provided in the resolution plan shall stand frozen and will be binding on the corporate debtor and its employees, members, creditors, including the Central Government, any State Government or any local authority, guarantors and other stakeholders. On the date of approval of resolution plan by the adjudicating authority, all such claims, which are not a part of the resolution plan shall stand extinguished and no person will be entitled to initiate or continue any proceedings in respect to a claim, which is not part of the resolution plan; (ii) 2019 Amendment to Section 31 of the I&B Code is clarificatory and declaratory in nature and therefore will be effective from the date on which the Code has come into effect;
(iii)consequently, all the dues including the statutory dues owed to the Central Government, any State Government or any local authority, if not part of the resolution plan, shall stand extinguished and no proceedings in respect of such dues for the period prior to the date on which the adjudicating authority grants its approval under Section 31 could be continued."
Any relief sought in the Resolution Plan, where any contract, agreement, understanding, proceeding, action, notice, etc., not specifically identified, or is for a future contingency at this point in time, is rejected.
Accordingly, this Adjudicating Authority is satisfied that the Resolution Plan is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the Corporate Debtor, its creditors, and other stakeholders. We, therefore, approve the Resolution Plan submitted by Mr. Suresh Wavia as the Successful Resolution Applicant, along with all addenda and modifications incorporated therein, and direct its implementation in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Plan.
The Resolution Plan is binding on the Corporate Debtor, its employees, members, and all its creditors, including but not limited to secured, unsecured, financial, and operational creditors, guarantors, government and statutory and local authorities and other stakeholders involved so that revival of the Corporate Debtor can come into force with immediate effect.
The Moratorium imposed under section 14 shall cease to have effect from the date of this order.
In case of non-compliance with this order or withdrawal of the Resolution Plan, the Committee of Creditors shall forfeit the Performance Guarantee amount already paid by the Successful Resolution Applicant.
The Resolution Professional shall stand discharged from his duties upon the constitution of the Monitoring Committee. However, he shall perform his duties in terms of the Resolution Plan as approved by this Adjudicating Authority.
The Resolution Applicant shall have access to all the Corporate Debtor's records, documents, assets, and premises with effect from the date of this order, to finalise the further line of action required for starting the business operations of the Corporate Debtor.
The Resolution Professional is further directed to hand over all records, documents, and properties of the Corporate Debtor to the Resolution Applicant to enable the Resolution Applicant to finalise the further line of action required for starting the operations.
The Monitoring Committee shall file progress report regarding the implementation of the Plan before this Adjudicating Authority upon completion.
Liberty is hereby granted for moving any applications if required in connection with the implementation of this Resolution Plan.
Accordingly, IA(IBC)(Plan)/01/KOB/2025 IN CP(IB)/14/KOB/2023 stands allowed and disposed of accordingly.
The Registry is hereby directed to send e-mail copies of the order forthwith to all the parties: Committee of Creditors, Resolution Professional, and Successful Resolution Applicant, and their Learned Counsels for information and for taking necessary steps. The Applicant is directed to send a copy of this order to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India and Registrar of Companies, Kerala, and Lakshadweep, for their record.
