Dauphin Cables Private Limited vs Parveen Bansal And Ors
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 634-636 of 2023
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Appellate Tribunal's refusal to interfere rests on the following reasoning. An order that merely gives consequential effect to an earlier adjudicatory order, by reconstituting the Committee of Creditors and directing re-examination of a resolution plan once a creditor has been reclassified from financial creditor to other creditor, raises no infirmity warranting appellate interference. Grievances about non-compliance with other orders passed by the Adjudicating Authority are not within the scope of an appeal against the specific orders under challenge, and must be pursued by the appropriate remedy available in law.

ORDER
18.05.2023: Heard Learned Counsel for the Appellant.
This Appeal has been filed against the orders dated 14.02.2023 passed by
Adjudicating Authority by which the claim of the Financial Creditor has been
treated to be other Creditor and order dated 01.03.2023 on IA No. 5920/2022
by which Adjudicating Authority has directed that in view of the order passed on
14.02.2023 in IA No. 5940/2021, the CoC is to be re-structured and the Plan
has to be re-examined by CoC in the light of the order.
3. Learned Counsel for the Appellant submits that in so far as the order dated
14.02.2023, he has no substantial grievance. He submits that as far as the order
Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 634-636 of 2023 1 dated 01.03.2023 he is aggrieved since direction has been issued to re-
consideration by the CoC whereas there has been several orders intervened
between that and the Appellant has grievance that orders passed by the
Adjudicating Authority has not been complied with.
4. We have considered the submission of Learned Counsel for the Appellant
and perused the record. Order dated 01.03.2023 in IA No. 5940/2021 is as
follows:-
"IA 5940/2021 - We have heard the
Counsel for the Resolution Professional. In the
light of the order passed by this Adjudicating
Authority in IA 2435/2021 & IA 5980/2022 by
which one of the Creditors namely CRC has
been held to be 'Other Creditor' rather than a
'Financial Creditor' consequentially entails
change in the composition of the CoC which has
approved the 'Resolution Plan'. Therefore, the
re-structured CoC is directed to be convened
and the Resolution Plan may be examined by
this CoC in the light of the order passed in the
above 2 IAs. The IA 5940/2021 is accordingly
disposed off."
Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 634-636 of 2023 2
5. The order dated 01.03.2023 is only consequential order to the earlier order
dated 14.02.2023 in view of the one Financial Creditor going out of the CoC, the
CoC has to be re-structured and the CoC has to be re-examine the plan which
was earlier considered by the CoC. We do not find any infirmity in the order so
as to entertain this Appeal.
6. In so far as other grievance of the Appellant that certain other orders which
have intervened have not been complied with, those issues are not required to
be considered in this Appeal and the Appellant has to take appropriate remedy
for that in accordance with law.
With these observations, we dismiss the Appeal.
