FINDINGS

We have gone through the resolution plan which is as shown above. We have also heard all the parties concerned in detail and taken all their submissions into account and accordingly following are the observations:

1.

The RP has enclosed a compliance certificate as prescribed under Regulation 39(4) of CIRP Regulations, at page 198 of the application stating that, the resolution plan of the resolution applicant provides for and is in compliance with the provisions of the Code and Regulations.

2.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of “K. Sashidhar vs. Indian Overseas Bank” (2019 SCC OnLine SC 257) at para 49 of the Judgement held as below:

i.

49. The argument, though attractive at the first blush, but if accepted, would require us to re-write the provisions of the I&B Code. It would also result in doing violence to the legislative intent of having consciously not stipulated that as a ground - to challenge the commercial wisdom of the minority (dissenting) financial creditors. Concededly, the process of resolution plan is necessitated in respect of corporate debtors in whom their financial creditors have lost hope of recovery and who have turned into non-performer or a chronic defaulter. The fact that the concerned corporate debtor was still able to carry on its business activities does not obligate the financial creditors to postpone the recovery of the debt due or to prolong their losses indefinitely. Be that as it may, the scope of enquiry and the grounds on which the decision of “approval” of the resolution plan by the CoC can be interfered with by the adjudicating authority (NCLT), has been set out in Section 31(1) read with Section 30(2) and by the appellate tribunal (NCLAT) under Section 32 read with Section 61(3) of the I&B Code. No corresponding provision has been envisaged by the legislature to empower the resolution professional, the adjudicating authority (NCLT) or for that matter the appellate authority (NCLAT), to reverse the “commercial decision” of the CoC much less of the dissenting financial creditors for not supporting the proposed resolution plan. Whereas, from the legislative history there is contra indication that the commercial or business decisions of the financial creditors are not open to any judicial review by the adjudicating authority or the appellate authority.”

3.

We are of the opinion that by virtue of mandatory contents of resolution plan, the same is in accordance with Section 30 and 31 of the Code, and also complies with the requirement of the Regulations 38 and 39 of CIRP Regulations.

4.

Therefore, when the provision of law and the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court is applied to the case on hand, it becomes clear that this resolution plan approved by the COC with the required majority, satisfies all the criteria required for approval of Resolution Plan and accordingly the resolution plan is approved.

5.

The resolution applicant in its resolution plan, has dealt with interests of all stakeholders of the corporate debtor, including the Financial Creditors, the Operational Creditors and the CIRP cost.

6.

Any relief sought for in the resolution plan, where the contract/agreement/understanding/proceedings/actions/notice etc. is not specifically identified or is for future and contingent liability, is at this moment rejected.

7.

The resolution applicant, on taking control of the corporate debtor, shall ensure compliance under all applicable law for the time being in force. The resolution applicant shall obtain the necessary approval required under any law for the time being in force within one year from the date of this order or within such period as provided for in such law, whichever is later.

8.

We shall clarify here that any resolution applicant shall take over the corporate debtor with all its assets and liabilities as per terms of the approved resolution plan. If any relief concerning any identified liability of the corporate debtor is required, then that needs to be specifically mentioned and sought for in the resolution plan. This bench cannot allow any general power to any resolution applicant absolving him of liability of the corporate debtor company without knowing about the liability against which such exemption is sought. In other words, reliefs/exemptions from only existing liabilities which are specifically identified can be sought and allowed in the resolution plan.

9.

On perusal of the resolution plan, we find that the resolution plan has necessary provisions for its effective implementation and it has been approved by 82% majority of the CoC.

10.

Given the above observations, we approve the resolution plan with modifications, as mentioned above, which shall be binding on the Corporate Debtor and its employees, members, creditors, guarantors, Resolution Applicant and other stakeholders involved in the resolution plan.

11.

The resolution professional shall forward all records relating to the conduct of the corporate insolvency resolution process and the resolution plan to the IBBI to be recorded on its database. The RP is hereby discharged of his duties after handing over the documents to the Resolution Applicant and it taking charge.

12.

It is seen that the Resolution Plan seeks several Dispensations, concessions and waivers. Approval of Resolution Plan does not mean automatic Waivers. The Resolution Applicant on approval of the Plan may approach those competent authorities/courts/legal forms/office(s) Government or Semi-Government/State or Central Government for appropriate relief’(s) sought in the plan.

13.

The Resolution Plan is at this moment approved, subject to the submission of additional affidavit for accepetence of the modifications in the Resolution Plan and other informations as per directions above, under section 31(1) of IBC with observations above. The MA 129/2020 is accordingly allowed and disposed of.
