h) Order proper Forensic Audit to be conducted before taking any decision on IA 5003/2021 filed for approval of Resolution Plan, so that all the fraudulent/preferential transactions could be identified and accordingly reversed, to recover the assets lost by CD in irregular transactions in light of fraud/overselling admitted by RP to the tune of approx. 150-170 crores.

2.

Learned Counsel for Respondent submits that CA 1500/2019 and CA 1501/2019 has been reserved on 13.07.2023. The prayer of the Appellant to remand back the whole Resolution Plan to be considered afresh by the CoC cannot be considered and decided in the application filed by the Appellant. The question of approval of the plan is still pending before the Adjudicating Authority and it is for the Adjudicating Authority to consider all issues at that time.

3.

We are of the view that application filed by the Applicant is rightly rejected. The prayers made in the application could not be allowed as prayed.

4.

Learned Counsel for Respondent submits that Applicant has been filing several application and obstructing the proceedings before the Adjudicating Authority. We, thus, are of the view that there is no merit in the Appeal, the appeal is dismissed.
