I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P. NO. 3970(IB)/MB/2019

Debtor”) was initiated by this Tribunal under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The Corporate Debtor, a private company incorporated on 30.03.2012 under the Companies Act, 1956, is registered with the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai, and presently operates from S- 106, Fantasia Mul Complex, Plot No. 47, Sec 30A, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra-400703. By the said order, Mr. Hemant Sharma was appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). The Corporate Debtor is engaged in trading activities. Following his appointment, the IRP issued a public announcement on 20.12.2019 in the Free Press Journal (English) and Dainik Navashakti (Marathi), inviting claims from creditors. Based on the claims received, the IRP constituted the Committee of Creditors (CoC) in accordance with Section 21 of the Code, comprising a sole financial creditor M/s. Essel Finance Business Loans Limited holding 100% voting share. In addition to this financial creditor, claims were also received from two operational creditors.

3. In its first meeting held on 17.01.2020, the CoC confirmed the appointment of Mr. Hemant Sharma, the IRP, as the Resolution Professional (RP) of the Corporate Debtor. During the CIRP, the IRP, acting on the CoC’s instructions, filed IA 2089/2020 on 22.10.2020 seeking liquidation of the Corporate Debtor (“Liquidation Application”). While the application was pending, the IRP sought to resign due to health issues and withdrew his consent to act as Liquidator. By Order dated 08.12.2021, this Tribunal permitted his withdrawal and appointed Shri Divyesh Desai as the second RP, authorising him to prosecute the Liquidation Application. 4. The said Order was communicated to the second RP only on 11.07.2022, following which he assumed charge. Since the Liquidation Application remained pending, his role was confined to prosecuting it. Meanwhile, the CoC

I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P. NO. 3970(IB)/MB/2019 resolved to replace him with the present Applicant, leading to IA 3468/2022 filed on 16.11.2022. This Application was allowed on 21.06.2023, and the present Applicant was appointed as RP. Although the Liquidation Application had been filed in 2020, it remained pending even after the Applicant’s appointment. In the interim, the CoC requested the second RP to convene a meeting, resulting in the 7th CoC meeting on 17.03.2023, where the CoC noted that the Liquidation Application had been pending for over two-and-a-half years and that potential resolution applicants had shown interest. Consequently, the CoC resolved—with 100% voting—to withdraw the Liquidation Application and to seek a 90-day extension of the CIRP along with exclusion of time lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 5. Pursuant to the above, the second RP filed IA 2635/2023 seeking withdrawal of the Liquidation Application and extension of the CIRP. The Liquidation Application was ultimately withdrawn by Order dated 22.07.2024, though the request for extension was not considered on that date. IA 2635/2023 was later listed on 13.08.2024, when this Tribunal directed filing of a more comprehensive application. Accordingly, the Applicant filed IA 5855/2024 seeking exclusion of time lost during adjudication and extension of the CIRP period. Vide Order dated 03.02.2025, this Tribunal granted the exclusion and extended the CIRP by 90 days w.e.f. 03.02.2025. 6. Following the extension, the 7th CoC meeting was convened on 09.01.2025 to finalise eligibility criteria for prospective resolution applicants and related matters. Pursuant to resolutions passed by the CoC, the Applicant issued Form-G on 13.01.2025 inviting Expressions of Interest (EoIs) through publication in The Financial Express (Mumbai Edition – English) and Dainik Navarashtra (Mumbai Edition – Marathi). The last date for submission of EoIs was 28.01.2025. In response, three parties expressed interest and obtained relevant information.

I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P. NO. 3970(IB)/MB/2019

7. The Applicant submits that the Corporate Debtor, being engaged in trading activities, does not possess substantial assets. A valuation of its available assets was carried out by the IRP in 2020. Upon assuming charge, the Applicant sought the CoC’s approval in the 7th CoC meeting to undertake a fresh valuation. However, the CoC noted that there had been no material change in the Corporate Debtor’s financial position and accordingly declined the request. The valuation reports obtained earlier by the IRP are as follows: Average Fair Value Rs.1,11,71,738 Average Liquidation Value Rs.17,11,635

8. The Applicant reviewed the EoI and on being satisfied that the EoIs submitted are qualifying the basic Eligibility Criterions set by the CoC, circulated the Provisional List of the Prospective Resolution Applicants (PRAs) with the CoC and the PRAs in terms of the provisions of Reg. 36A (10) of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 (CIRP Regulations) on 7.02.2025. 9. Since there was no objection received against any of the PRAs within stipulated time, the Applicant circulated the Final List of PRAs containing the name of 3 Parties who submitted their respective EoIs as afore-stated in terms of the provisions of Reg. 36A (11) of the CIRP Regulations on 22.02.2025. The list of the Final PRAs is as follows :

I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P. NO. 3970(IB)/MB/2019

10. Accordingly, the Information Memorandum (IM), Request for Resolution Plan (RFRP) and the Evaluation Matrix (EM) was circulated with the above PRAs by the Applicant on 27.02.2025 and the PRAs were asked to submit their respective Resolution Plans on or before 29.03.2025. 11. On the request of the PRAs, the last date for submission of the Resolution Plan was extended to 19.04.2025. In accordance thereto, the 2nd PRA i.e Mr. Rajendra Dallaram Chaudhary, submitted his Resolution Plan for the Corporate Debtor on19.04.2025 with the Applicant. However, the other two PRAs did not submit their respective Resolution Plans till the extended last date for submission and sought further extensions of time twice and thereby the Applicant, after considering the extension issue with the CoC, permitted the PRAs to submit their respective Resolution Plans by 9.05.2025. 12. However, during this interregnum period, M/s Real Value Infotech Project Private Limited, withdrew its Eol and communicated the same to the Applicant through an email dated 05.05.2025. Further on the request of the PRA – Mr. Anuj Goyal, the Applicant took the approval of the CoC for once again extension of timeline for submission of the Resolution Plan and extended it up to 17.05.2025. Based thereupon Mr. Anuj Goyal submitted its Resolution Plan on 17.05.2025. 13. Accordingly, the Applicant reviewed both the Resolution Plan submitted by Mr. Anuj Goyal and the Resolution Plan submitted by Mr. Rajendra Dallaram Chaudhary. Upon being satisfied that both Plans were in compliance with the provisions of the Code read with the CIRP Regulations, the Applicant placed them before the CoC at its 9th meeting held on 17.05.2025. 14. The CoC deliberated on both Resolution Plans in detail and concluded that each required further improvements and revisions. Consequently, the CoC communicated the necessary modifications to both PRAs and directed them to submit their revised Resolution Plans by 19.05.2025. The 9th CoC meeting was thereafter concluded, with instructions to the Applicant to convene the next

I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P. NO. 3970(IB)/MB/2019 meeting on 20.05.2025. However, despite the directions issued during the 9th CoC meeting, neither Mr. Anuj Goyal nor Mr. Rajendra Dallaram Chaudhary submitted their revised Resolution Plans by the stipulated deadline. The Applicant apprised the CoC of this development, and in the interest of justice and the revival of the Corporate Debtor, the CoC decided to extend the timeline for submission of the revised Resolution Plans until 22.05.2025. Consequently, the 10th meeting of the CoC was adjourned to 23.05.2025. 15. Accordingly, the Mr. Anuj Goyal submitted its revised Resolution Plan with the Applicant on 21.05.2025 and Mr. Rajendra Dallaram Chaudhary submitted its revised Resolution Plan for the Corporate Debtor on 22.05.2025. Accordingly, both the revised Resolution Plans were discussed during the reconvened 10th meeting of the CoC held on 23.05.2025 whereby the Applicant presented the said Plans before the CoC.

31 In compliance with the above order, the Applicant, through an Additional Affidavit dated 20.11.2025, submitted that an Application bearing IA 2233/2025 has been filed before this Bench under Sections 45, 49 and 66 of the Code, seeking appropriate orders in respect of the identified avoidance transactions. The said Application is presently pending adjudication. A summary of the amounts involved in the Application is as follows:

32. The applicant has also through the Additional Affidavit dated 13.10.2025 placed on record Balance Sheet of the Corporate Debtor as on CIRP Commencement Date. Further, it has submitted that in reference to the third direction by this Bench, it is to be noted that Point 10 in Form -H (Compliance Certificate qua the proposed Resolution Plan of the Applicant) wherein the Applicant has disclosed that as on the CIRP commencement date the Corporate Debtor is having a carry-forward loss of Rs.40,50,35,675/-. Furthermore, the Applicant has also captured the same in the Information Memorandum and I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P. NO. 3970(IB)/MB/2019

Income Tax Return filed by the Corporate Debtor for F. Y. 2020–21 (A.Y. 2021-22). 33. In K Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & amp; Others (2019) 12 SCC 150, 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.

34. In view of the law laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court, the commercial wisdom of the COC is to be given paramount importance for approval/ rejection of the resolution plan. As the Resolution Plan meets the requirements of the Code and the IBBI (CIRP) Regulations, 2016 the same needs to be approved. Accordingly, the Resolution Plan is approved with the following directions: i. The Resolution Plan submitted by the Applicant is hereby approved. It shall become effective from this date and shall form part of this order. It shall be binding on the Said 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 I.A. 64/2025 IN C.P.
