Salient Features of the Resolution Plan

18.

The key features and summary of the final Resolution Plan submitted by the Resolution Applicant and as approved by the COC are as under:

A) AMOUNT UNDER THE RESOLUTION PLAN

i)

The resolution plan is based on the current approval of restricted height of 15.24 metres which has resulted in reduction in the sale area to 22,781 sq.ft. which is 35.83% of the maximum carpet area of 63,581 sq.ft. assumed by the valuers. The nominal value of the Corporate Debtor's project based on 22,781 sq.ft. of RERA sale carpet area is Rs.37.09 as explained in the paragraph above. Based on the restricted height as above, the amount envisaged in the Resolution Plan is Rs. 66.231 crore (inclusive of loan and working capital), as under:

ii) The height of the project has been restricted to 15.24 metres due to the presence of the Signal Transmitting Station of Defence Forces in terms of Defence Ministry's notification No. SRO 150 u/s 7 of Works of Defence Act, 1903. Since a number of buildings had already been allowed unrestricted height earlier, the Corporate Debtor moved Bombay High Court by way of a Writ Petition (L) No. 337 of 2015. The matter is yet to be disposed of.

iii) Although the above allocation to the creditors constitutes full and final settlement in terms of the Resolution Plan, the Resolution Applicant has proposed that in case the full height approval materializes following disposal of the Writ Petition within two years from the Trigger date (maximum of 45 days from the date of resolution plan approval), it will repay the remaining 95% of the dues of unsecured creditors amounting to Rs. 45.69 crore in the form of additional RERA carpet area allocation of 10,153 sq.ft.

# Amount provided over time under the Resolution Plan and includes estimated value of non-cash components. It is not NPV.

@ In case the Corporate Debtor receives full building height approval, the total settlement value payable to unsecured financial creditors will be 4677.97 lakhs (treating the solitary non-voter's share as zero since the liquidation value to unsecured creditors is zero). In that case the % of amount provided to amount claimed for unsecured financial creditors will be 66.17%, and the % of amount provided to amount claimed for total claims will be 27.1% (of total claims, and 31.80% of admitted claims) instead of 7.60%.

11.

The time frame proposed for obtaining relevant approvals is as under:

Sl. No.Nature of ApprovalName of applicable LawName of Authority who will grant ApprovalWhen to be obtained
1Full building height approvalThe Works of Defence Act, 1903 (Section 3)Ministry of Defence, Govt. of IndiaWithin one year
2NOC or approval for change in control of the Corporate Debtor (if required)Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971Slum Rehabilitation AuthorityWithin one year
12.

The Resolution Plan is subject to the following contingencies (Elaborate the contingencies):

i.

In terms of the SRA approval, the sale building was proposed to be constructed as Basement + Ground Floor + 6 upper storied towers with a total built up are under free sale building of 4,758.58 sq.m. (51,220 sq.ft.). However, in January 2012, the Defence Ministry sent a letter to Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, insisting on construction restriction, for projects in 500 yards periphery of its Signal Transmitting Station close by, in terms of Defence Ministry's notification No. SRO 150 u/s 7 of Works of Defence Act, 1903. This resulted in the Corporate Debtor's building height being restricted to 15.24 metres. The height restriction has left the Corporate Debtor with less than 50% of the sale area.

ii.

The height restriction has been challenged by the Corporate Debtor in Bombay High Court by way of Write Petition 337 or 2015, based on the plea that the project falls outside the prescribed 500 yards periphery, and reported shifting of the Singal Transmitting Station, etc.

iii.

Owing to the uncertainty of the outcome of the Writ Petition, the Resolution Plan has been formulated based on the current approved height of Ground + 3 floors and the sale area of 22,781 sq.ft. of RERA carpet area.

iv.

If the height restriction is lifted and full height is permitted after disposal of the writ petition, the Resolution Plan envisages Phase-II in which further three floors would be constructed, when the remaining carpet area of about 40,351 sq.ft. (after acquiring and consuming 35% of fungible FSI) would be constructed. In such a case, the Resolution Plan envisages payment of the remaining dues of the unsecured creditors aggregating Rs. 45,68,51,134/- by way of allocation of 10,153 sq.t. at a rate of Rs.45,000/sq.ft.

v.

While the allocation for CIRP cost and creditors (described as total Bid Value by the Resolution Applicant) of Rs.23,23,50,492/- constitutes full and final settlement of all the admitted claims, the Resolution Applicant's commitment of allocating 10,153 sq.ft. of RERA carpet area will enhance the total allocation to Rs. 68,92,01,626/-.

15.

23.

The RP has complied with the requirement of the Code in terms of Section 30(2)(a) to 30(2)(f) and Regulations 38(1), 38(1)(a), 38(2)(a), 38(2)(b), 38(2)(c) & 38(3) of the Regulations.

24.

The RP has filed Compliance Certificate in Form-H along with the Plan. On perusal the same is found to be in order. The Resolution Plan has been approved by the CoC by majority of 99.36%.

25.

The Resolution Applicant has sought certain reliefs and concessions, which we have dealt with below –

a)

Clause 13.2 of the Resolution Plan : Waivers/Reliefs/Concessions, Dispensations, Other Rights and Benefits Reliefs sought vide Clause No. 13.2 i), ii), iii), iv), viii) and x) are allowed. However, reliefs claimed vide Clause 13.2 v), vi), vii) and ix) shall be considered by respective authorities subject to adherence of the provisions, procedure and compliances of relevant laws.

b)

Clause 13.3 of the Resolution Applicant : Indemnity for any past and existing defaults/non-compliance/lapses by the Erstwhile Promoters, Board of Directors, Management and any other person All reliefs sought under Clause 13.3 of the Resolution Plan are allowed.

c) Clause 13.4 of the Resolution Plan : Tax and Stamp Duty Exemptions

As regards the reliefs sought vide Clause 13.4 of the Resolution Plan, as per extant provisions in the relevant statute and subject to adherence of the prescribed procedures, the authorities will consent.

d) Clause 13.5 : Anti-corruption provisions and immunity

The relief sought under Clause 13.5 of the Resolution Plan is allowed.

26.

The Resolution Applicant has also assumed that the IBC is a complete code and NCLT is empowered to grant a single window clearance for all actions contemplated under this Resolution Plan, which shall be granted upon the approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT. However, this cannot be allowed as it shall be subject to adherence of procedure and compliances of relevant laws.

27.

In K Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & Others (in Civil Appeal No.10673/2018 decided on 05.02.2019) the Hon'ble Apex Court held that if the CoC had approved the Resolution Plan by requisite percent of voting share, then as per section 30(6) of the Code, it is imperative for the Resolution Professional to submit the same to the Adjudicating Authority (NCLT). On receipt of such a proposal, the Adjudicating Authority is required to satisfy itself that the Resolution Plan as approved by CoC meets the requirements specified in Section 30(2). The Hon'ble Apex Court further observed that the role of the NCLT is 'no more and no less'. The Hon'ble Apex Court further held that the discretion of the Adjudicating Authority is circumscribed by Section 31 and is limited to scrutiny of the Resolution Plan "as approved" by the requisite percent 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.

28.

In view of the discussions and the law thus settled, the instant Resolution Plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2) of the Code and Regulations 37, 38, 38 (1A) and 39 (4) of the Regulations. The Resolution Plan is not in contravention of any of the provisions of Section 29A of the Code and is in accordance with law. The same needs to be approved. Hence, ordered.

29.

The Resolution Plan along with the Addendum thereto annexed to the Application is hereby approved. It shall become effective from this date and shall form part of this order with the following directions:

i.

It shall be binding on the Corporate Debtor, its employees, members, creditors, including the Central Government, any State Government or any local authority to whom a debt in respect of the payment of dues arising under any law for the time being in force is due, guarantors and other stakeholders involved in the Resolution Plan.

ii.

The approval of the Resolution Plan shall not be construed as waiver of any statutory obligations/liabilities of the Corporate Debtor and shall be dealt by the appropriate Authorities in accordance with law. Any waiver sought in the Resolution Plan, shall be subject to approval by the Authorities concerned in light of the Judgment of Supreme Court in Ghanshyam Mishra and Sons Private Limited v/s. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited, the relevant paragraphs of which are extracted herein below:

"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.”

iii.

The Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) shall accordingly be amended and filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), Mumbai, Maharashtra for information and record. The Resolution Applicant, for effective implementation of the Plan, shall obtain all necessary approvals, under any law for the time being in force, within such period as may be prescribed.

The Applicant shall forward all records relating to the conduct of the CIRP and the Resolution Plan to the IBBI along with copy of this Order for information. vii.
