- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Ins) No. 522 of 2021
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Appellate Tribunal, having reviewed the impugned order, holds that where the Adjudicating Authority has rejected an application against the resolution professional's rejection of a financial creditor's claim, and no appeal under section 61(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 has been preferred against that rejection order, the Tribunal will not interfere, and the appeal is liable to be dismissed summarily, since no illegality is shown in the impugned order.

Judgment
As delivered
IN THE MATTER OF: Mr. ChandraiahSubramaniyan ...Appellant Vs. Digjam Ltd. &Ors. ...Respondents Present: For Appellant: Mr. AS Sathish Kumar, PCS For Respondent: Mr. Rohan Agrawal, Advocate for R1 & R5 Mr. Sunil Kr. Agarwal, (RP, R2)
ORDER
(Through Virtual Mode) 29.07.2021: Ld. PCS Shri Sathish Kumar representing Appellant submits
that Appellant is aggrieved with the order passed by the Ld. Adjudicating
Authority by which the Ld. Adjudicating Authority has rejected the application
as not maintainable.
He further submits that the Appellant is a Financial Creditor his claim was
rejected by the RP, therefore, he has filed Application before the Adjudicating
Authority, however, Adjudicating Authority has rejected the Application,
therefore, the Appellant has filed Writ Petition before the Hon'ble High Court of
Gujarat, however, the same was dismissed. Thereafter, the Appellant has filed
I.A. No. 195 of 2021 before the Adjudicating Authority but Adjudicating Authority
has erroneously rejected the Application as not maintainable. Ld. Adjudicating
Authority has not considered the fact that the Appellant has advanced a huge
loan to the Corporate Debtor. Thus, the Appeal may be admitted. -2-
We have gone through the impugned order, Ld. Adjudicating Authority
observed that the Resolution Plan has already been approved and the Appellant
has filed the Application and challenging the entire 'Corporate Insolvency
Resolution Process' (CIRP) which is not permissible as per the provisions of IBC,
therefore, the Ld. Adjudicating Authority has rejected the application as not
maintainable.
Ld. PCS admits that when the Appellant has filed the Application against
the rejection order of RP before the Adjudicating Authority and Adjudicating
Authority has rejected the Application against that order on 07.02.2020 due to
absence of any cogent evidence against that order Appellant has not filed any
Appeal u/s 61(1) of IBC before this Appellate Tribunal.
We have carefully examined the facts and consider the submissions. We
are of the view that there is no illegality in the order passed by the Ld.
Adjudicating Authority. Therefore, we find no ground to interfere in the
impugned order.
Thus, the Appeal is dismissed summarily, however, there is no order as to
costs.
