Approval of Resolution Plan - Goyal Energy and Steel Limited

National Company Law Tribunal22 May 2026

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Adjudicating Authority's scrutiny of a resolution plan approved by the Committee of Creditors is confined to the statutory compliance requirements of Section 30(1) and 30(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the applicable regulations; the commercial aspects of the plan, including its feasibility, viability, distribution and priority of payments, rest within the commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors and are not open to judicial interference. A resolution plan may be approved under Section 31(1) only where it has been approved by the Committee of Creditors under Section 30(4) and conforms to the requirements of Section 30(2), including compliance with Section 29A, the prescribed priority of payments, and the regulations governing content and implementation. The Adjudicating Authority has power to grant only such reliefs, waivers and concessions as lie within the powers of the Tribunal under the Code and the Companies Act, 2013; reliefs that fall within the jurisdiction of other governmental authorities are not granted by the Tribunal and are left to the competent authorities to consider.
