2.5 However, the Applicant received only one Resolution Plan jointly submitted by Mr. Santosh Kumar Vangapally (the suspended Director of the Corporate Debtor).

NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023

4. In the above backdrop we heard Shri Shabbeer Ahmed and I. Indraprateek Naidu, Learned Counsels for the Resolution Professional. He submits that the Resolution Plan meets the requirement of Section 30 (2) of the Code, as under: - 4.1 Compliance of Section 30 (2) (a): The resolution Plan provides for payment of Rs. 6,00,000/- towards CIRP costs which shall be paid in full and in priority in terms of Section 30(1)(a) of the Code (Clause 6.1). 4.2 Compliance of Section 30 (2) (b): The resolution Plan provides for payment of Rs. 21,95,038/- towards full and final settlement amount towards the claim of Operational Creditor (Clauses 6). 5. The Resolution Plan is in compliance of Regulation 38 of the Regulations in the following manner: (a) Compliance of Regulation 38(1)(a) of the CIRP Regulations 2016: The Plan provides for payment to Operational Creditors to be paid in priority to other creditors and the CIRP Cost will be paid in priority to all other creditors. (Clause 6) (b) Compliance of Regulation 38 (1A): Declaration by the Resolution Applicant that the Resolution Plan has considered the interest of all the stakeholders of the Corporate Debtor, keeping in view the objectives of the Code.

(Clauses 6) (c) Compliance of Regulation 38 (1) (B): Declaration by the Resolution Applicant that neither the Resolution Applicant nor any of its related party has either failed or contributed to the NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023 failure of the implementation of any other approved Resolution Plan. (Clause 4.3). 6. In K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & Others (in Civil Appeal No. 10673/2018) 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. On receipt of such proposal, the Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) is required to satisfy itself that the resolution plan as approved by CoC meets the requirements specified in Section 30(2). No more and no less”. 7. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has further held at para 35 of the above judgement that the discretion of the adjudicating authority (NCLT) is circumscribed by Section 31 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. 8. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Committee of Creditors of Essar Steel India Limited Vs. Satish Kumar Gupta & Ors, held that “the limited judicial review available to AA has to be within the four corners of section 30(2) of the Code. Such review can in no circumstance trespass upon a business decision of the majority of the CoC. As such the Adjudicating Authority would not have power to modify the NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023

Resolution Plan which the CoC in their commercial wisdom have approved”. 9. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, in the recent ruling in re Vallal RCK vs M/s Siva Industries and Holdings Limited & Ors, has held as under:- 21. This Court has consistently held that the commercial wisdom of the CoC has been given paramount status without any judicial intervention for ensuring completion of the stated processes within the timelines prescribed by the IBC. It has been held that there is an intrinsic assumption, that financial creditors are fully informed about the viability of the corporate debtor and feasibility of the proposed resolution plan. They act on the basis of thorough examination of the proposed resolution plan and assessment made by their team of experts. A reference in this respect could be made to the judgments of this Court in the cases of K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank and Others, Committee of Creditors of Essar Steel India Limited through Authorised Signatory v. Satish Kumar Gupta and Others, Maharashtra Seamless Limited v. Padmanabhan Venkatesh and Others, Kalpraj Dharamshi and Another v. Kotak Investment Advisors Limited and Another, and Jaypee Kensington Boulevard Apartments Welfare Association and Others v. NBCC (India) Limited and Others.

27. This Court has, time and again, emphasized the need for minimal judicial interference by the NCLAT and NCLT in the framework of IBC. We may refer to the recent observation of this Court made in the case of Arun Kumar Jagatramka v. Jindal Steel and Power Limited and Another:

“95. ….However, we do take this opportunity to offer a note of caution for NCLT and NCLAT, functioning as the adjudicatory authority and appellate authority under the IBC respectively, from judicially interfering in the framework envisaged under the IBC. As we have noted earlier in the judgment, the IBC was introduced in order to overhaul the insolvency and bankruptcy regime in India. As such, it is a carefully considered and well thought out piece of legislation which sought to shed away the practices of NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023 the past. The legislature has also been working hard to ensure that the efficacy of this legislation remains robust by constantly amending it based on its experience. Consequently, the need for judicial intervention or innovation from NCLT and NCLAT should be kept at its bare minimum and should not disturb the foundational principles of the IBC…..” 10. Therefore, the resolution plan, when tested on the touch stone of the aforesaid facts and the rulings, we are of the view that the instant resolution plan satisfies the requirements of Section 30 (2) of the Code and Regulations 37, 38, 38 (1A) and 39 (4) of the Regulations. We also found that the Resolution Applicant is eligible to submit the Resolution Plan under Section 29A of the Code. 11. However, we observe that the Resolution Plan as approved by the COC in its 10th meeting held on 24.08.2023 is submitted by the sole Successful Resolution Applicant Mr. Santosh Kumar Vangapally, but in the Application filed for approval of the said resolution plan by the Adjudicating Authority, we find that at some places, particularly at Para 11 (page 22) and Para V (Reliefs Sought), the name of the resolution applicant is shown as Mr. Santosh Kumar Vangapally and Mr. Prem Anandh Amarnathan. The matter was put up before the Applicant for clarification and a clarificatory affidavit dated 12.12.2023 has been filed by the Resolution Professional/Applicant herein, clarifying that in para 11 and para V, it was an inadvertent typographical error and Mr. Prem Anandh Amarnathan is only an Investor in the Resolution Plan and not a Resolution Applicant.

NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023

12. We therefore, hereby approve the revised Resolution Plan submitted by Mr. Santosh Kumar Vangapally (“Successful Resolution Applicant”) along with annexure, schedules forming part of the Resolution Plan annexed to the Application and order as under: (i) The Resolution Plan along with annexures and schedules forming part of the plan 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) All crystallized liabilities and unclaimed liabilities of the Corporate debtor as on the date of this order shall stand extinguished on the approval of this Resolution Plan. (iii) 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 with by the appropriate Authorities in accordance with law. Any waiver sought in the Resolution Plan, shall be subject to approval by the Authorities concerned as held by Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Ghanashyam Mishra And Sons Private Limited Versus Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited in CIVIL APPEAL NO.8129 OF 2019 dated 13.04.2021.

NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023 (iv) It is hereby ordered that the deposit amount of Rs.1,40,00,000/-made by the Resolution Applicant shall remain as performance Guarantee till the amount proposed to be paid to the creditors under this plan is fully paid off and the plan is fully implemented. (v) The Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) shall accordingly be amended and filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) Hyderabad 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. (vi) Henceforth, no creditors of the erstwhile Corporate Debtor can claim anything other than the liabilities referred to supra. (vii) The moratorium under Section 14 of the Code shall cease to have effect from this date. (viii) 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. (ix). The Applicant shall forthwith send a copy of this order to the CoC and the Resolution Applicant. (x). The Registry is directed to furnish free copy to the parties as per Rule 50 of the NCLT Rules, 2016. (xi) The Registry is directed to communicate this order to the Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad for updating the master data and also forward a copy to IBBI.

NCLT HYD-1 I.A. NO. 1504/2023 IN CP(IB) No. 271/9/HDB/2020 DOO: 12.12.2023 (xii). Accordingly, IA 1504/2023 stands disposed of.
