The Registry has informed that an e-mail dated 13/01/2022 was received in CP (IB) No. 566(KB)2018 from Mr. Sandip Mitra, newly appointed IRP, informing that though he was appointed as IRP but he could not see the e-mail, being unwell as he is suffering from COVID-19. He has enclosed his medical report in support of his claim. He has prayed that he is handling one CIRP being CP(IB)/97(KB)2020 assigned to him and it would be very difficult for him to have any additional assignment due to his ill health. He has prayed that he should be relieved from this assignment and some other IRP may be appointed so that the work of CIRP in the matter of Rajendra Kumar Singhania -vs- Bhowanipur Engineering Pvt. Ltd. is not held up.
