In the meantime, the Petitioner had arrived at a settlement with the Corporate Debtor on 17.01.2023. Pursuant thereto the Petitioner-Operational Creditor has submitted Form-FA to the RP complying with the requirements as stipulated in Regulation 30A, which is placed at Annexure-C. Subsequently, CoC in its 2nd meeting held on 18.03.2023 consented to withdraw the CIRP against the Corporate Debtor with a voting share of 100%. Copy of the resolution is placed at Annexure-D to the Application.

Since the conditions for withdrawal for CIRP u/s 12A of the Code r/w Regulation 30A of the IBBI (IRP for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 and Rule 11 of the NCLT Rules, 2016 have been satisfied, this Adjudicating Authority has no objection for withdrawal of this Petition. Therefore, the instant Applicant is hereby allowed.
Consequently, the Corporate Debtor is hereby released from the rigours of CIRP and the RP so appointed, is directed to handover the charge of the Assets and affairs of the Corporate Debtor back to the Suspended Members of the Board of Directors of Corporate Debtor. Accordingly, RP is discharged from his duties of the Corporate Debtor, and moratorium imposed shall be ceased to have effect from the date of this order.
