After considering the merits of the case, the said Petition was admitted vide an Order dated 18.05.2018 (CP No.1658/I&BP/NCLT/MB/2017). Mr. Santanu T. Ray was appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). The said IRP was confirmed as the Resolution Professional (RP) in the first CoC meeting dated 14.08.2018.
In the Second CoC meeting dated 5th September, 2018, wherein the reporting of the Action taken like Arranging the Factory Visit, Preparation of Information Memorandum, Appointment of Forensic Auditor was intimated to CoC. The Resolution for following agendas were passed :
Approval of eligibility criteria, bid evaluation matrix, bidding process of Resolution Plan.

In the Fourth CoC meeting dated 30.11.2018, the CoC opened the Resolution Plans received from two Prospective Resolution Applicants namely M/s Euro Pratik Ispat (India) Private Limited and MRA Global Private Limited. The CoC observed that the Resolution Plans were not as per format and in compliance with mandatory contents of Section 30(2) of the I&B Code read with Regulation 38 of the IBBI (Corporate Insolvency Resolution process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. Hence, the PRAs were directed to submit revised Resolution Plans with necessary modifications.

E. Reliefs Sought Under Resolution Plan
Resolution Applicant has requested following reliefs under the Resolution Plan:
(i) Licenses, Consents and Approvals
The Resolution Applicant has also considered that by virtue of the order of the Adjudicating Authority approving this Resolution Plan and since the Resolution Applicant would acquire the Company on a ‘going concern’ basis, all consents, licenses, approvals, rights, entitlements, benefits and privileges whether under law, contract, lease or license, granted in favour of the Company or to which the Company is entitled or accustomed to shall, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in their terms and notwithstanding that they may have already lapsed or expired due to any non-compliance or efflux of time, be deemed to continue without disruption for the benefit of the Company and the Resolution Applicant for a period of 18 months from the NCLT Approval Date or until the period mentioned in such Business Licenses, whichever is later.
The Company shall be granted permission from the effective date to apply with competent authorities for renewal of all consent, licenses, clearances, permissions required to carry the operational activity of the unit.
However, this Bench is not inclined to grant such permission in view of the provisions of Section 31(4) of the I&B Code wherein it is clearly provided that all such statutory approvals/sanctions are to be sought within a period of one year. Section 31(4) states that:
31. Approval of resolution plan…….
(4)The resolution applicant shall, pursuant to the resolution plan approved under sub-section (1), obtain the necessary approval required under any law for the time being in force within a period of one year from the date of approval of the resolution plan by the Adjudicating Authority under sub-section (1) or within such period as provided for in such law, whichever is later: Provided that where the resolution plan contains a provision for combination, as referred to in section 5 of the Competition Act, 2002, the resolution applicant shall obtain the approval of the Competition Commission of India under that Act prior to the approval of such resolution plan by the committee of creditors.
The Resolution Applicant is hereby directed the to amend the Resolution Plan to the effect of taking the above said approvals/sanctions within a period of one year as aforesaid.
It is proposed that upon the Upfront payment of full and final resolution amount committed to financial creditor, the Resolution Applicant shall be handed over the possession of the manufacturing unit.
(iii) Treatment of ongoing litigation and violations
It is proposed that following the NCLT Approval Date, the Company will investigate as to veracity of any allegations in relation to the non-compliance with the terms of any contract or Clearances obtained by the Company and if so, take or cause to be taken remedial actions in this regard within a reasonable period of time, during which time, the related litigations/ proceedings should be kept in abeyance and that no coercive action be taken against the Company. It is currently expected that a period of 18 months from the NCLT Approval Date will be required for the Resolution Applicant to cause the Company to remedy such underlying breaches (if found to be true).
The liabilities which occurs by way of any order, judgments, decisions passed by any competent authority in respect of any application, petition, complaint filed by any person in the matter of transactions entered by company prior to NCLT approval date shall be borne by the previous management, promoters, their officer in default or any other person related to them and no criminal action shall be taken against Resolution Applicant, the SPV and the Company in relation to any breach of law committed by previous management or promoters and other persons related to them.

(ix)In case of capital reduction, the requirement of adding “and reduced” in the name of the Corporate Debtor to be dispensed with (on account of reduction of share capital of the Corporate Debtor).
(x)The approval of this Plan by the NCLT shall be deemed to have waived all the procedural requirements in terms of Section 66 and Section 42 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the NCLT (Procedure for Reduction of Share Capital) Rules, 2016 for reduction of share capital and issuance of equity shares to Resolution Applicant.
(xi)All relevant Governmental Authorities to grant relief from payment of stamp duty and applicable fees (including fees payable to the jurisdictional Registrar of Companies) for the successful implementation of the Plan (including for the capital reduction, issuance of shares).
Resolution Applicant shall have “no recourse” against the Financial Creditor regardless of grant of such reliefs, concessions and entitlements. If for lack of clarification and in case of any doubt regarding implementation of Resolution Plan, the Resolution Applicant seeks to withdraw the plan, the amount deposited in the form of EMD shall necessarily be forfeited by the COC/Financial Creditors. The withdrawal of an approved Resolution Plan results into an automatic liquidation of the Company. Hence, to provide a deterrent effect to the non-complaint Resolution Applicant and to save the company from going into liquidation, the relief of non-forfeiture of EMD amount cannot be given.
(xii) Exemption from taxes
The NCLT to exempt from levying any type of Taxes and stamp duty, if any, arising on account of transactions consummated or actions undertaken pursuant to the approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT in accordance with the Code and not initiate any proceedings there under the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 with respect to the transaction, since such taxes and duties, if required to be paid, will render the Plan unviable.
Further, the Waiver of principal Loan amount/and/or waiver of any other creditors as well as waiver of Interest as appearing in the books of accounts of the Corporate Debtor as on the date of NCLT order and written back in the books of account following NCLT order shall not be taxed as perquisite or benefits under section 28(iv) and cessation of liability under section 41(1) or any other relevant sections/rules/regulations of the Income Tax Act."
The Applicant has duly submitted Form H stating that the resolution plan is complaint of the provisions of the code. The Applicant has preferred the present application for approval of the resolution plan by this Adjudicating Authority.
The total payment under the resolution plan shall be made within 30 months from the date of approval of resolution plan by this Bench.
