Approval of Resolution Plan - Vallabh Textiles Company Private Limited
- CitationIA No.416 of 2023 in CP(IB) No.391/Chd/Pb/2018
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority holds that its power to sanction a resolution plan's reliefs and waivers is confined to those directly relatable to the resolution process; reliefs that fall within the domain of Government or other Departments and Authorities cannot be granted by it, and approval of a resolution plan does not by itself effect such waivers, the successful resolution applicant being left to approach the competent authorities or courts. The Adjudicating Authority holds that a resolution plan is approved under Sections 30 and 31 of the Code where, on perusal of the record, it is satisfied that the plan complies with those provisions and with Regulations 38 and 39 of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016, as the Committee of Creditors has found the plan viable and feasible; and that any relief sought in the plan which is not specifically identified or which concerns future and contingent liability is not acceded to.

Rainbow Papers (Civil Appeal No. 1661 OF 2020) by Hon’ble Supreme Court and further if the Resolution Plan does not consider such claims of Statutory authorities as secured creditors, the SRA did not furnish an affidavit that the distribution will be made in compliance with the decision of the Rainbow Papers and a revised Form-H showing the amended distribution has not been filed.
