Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority may allow an application for withdrawal of a Section 9 petition under Regulation 30A of the CIRP Regulations, where the application is filed by the Interim Resolution Professional before the Committee of Creditors is constituted, the withdrawal is made through Form FA by the operational creditor, the claims-collation process has not yet produced any claim, and the prescribed CIRP costs have been paid; in such a case the main petition stands dismissed as withdrawn and the corporate debtor is released from the moratorium and the other rigours of the Code, with the Interim Resolution Professional discharged.
