Basheer Kunnummal & Ors vs Mather Projects Pvt Ltd And Ors

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal11 May 2023Ashok Bhushan

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Resolution Professional's submission of a periodic report to the Adjudicating Authority is an obligation imposed on him, and the Adjudicating Authority's act of taking such a report on record is not an adjudication of the correctness of the facts asserted in it, so an appeal against an order merely taking a report on record does not lie where the aggrieved party retains the remedy available in law against any statement in the report.

4. By the order the report submitted by the Resolution Professional has

been taken on record. It is obligation of the Resolution Professional to submit

report to the Adjudicating Authority. In event, the Appellant is aggrieved by

any statement in the Report, it is open for the Appellant to take such remedy

as available in law. We do not find any goo ground to entertain this Appeal

against the order by which only report has been taken on record. Appeal is

disposed of, accordingly.
