Pass any other orders/ directions as this Hon’ble tribunal deems fit in the interest of justice and equity.

2. Brief facts of the application are given hereunder:

a. The Company Petition bearing C.P. (IB) No. 127/BB/2024 filed under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 by “Kordash Handlers and Logistics Private Limited” to initiate Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Egita Network and Media Private Limited (Corporate Debtor) was admitted on 17.10.2024. Mr. Sushanta Kumar Choudhury was appointed as Interim Resolution Professional ("IRP") of the Corporate Debtor, who was confirmed by CoC in its first meeting as Resolution Professional on 13.11.2024. b. Upon appointment, the IRP issued Public Announcements in Form-A on 19.11.2024 in the newspapers Viswavani (Kannada) and Financial Express (English), as per Regulation 6 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. The last date for submission of claims was set as 31.10.2024. c. Following the public announcement, only one claim was received from Kordash Handlers and Logistics Private Limited, the financial creditor, and the Committee of Creditors ("CoC") comprising this sole member was constituted on 06.11.2024. The certificate of constitution and the claim records were duly filed before the Tribunal. d. After this, consultants, valuers, auditors, and legal advisers were appointed by the RP, and the Information Memorandum, Evaluation Matrix, and Request for Resolution Plans were duly finalized and approved by CoC. e. During CIRP, two invitations for Expression of Interest ("EOI") through Form-G were issued: i. The first Form-G was published on 14.12.2024, and the last date for receipt of EOI was 28.12.2024.

ii. The second Form-G was published on 12.03.2025, with the last date for receipt of EOI as 27.03.2025. f. The first EOI round received two prospective resolution applicants ("PRAs"), but no resolution plans were submitted. The second EOI round received multiple PRAs, but again only one resolution plan was submitted, which was subsequently found not to be financially or technically viable by the RP and the CoC, as it offered minimal payment against admitted claims. g. Upon review, the RP presented three options to the CoC: accept the plan, conduct a third EOI invitation, or recommend liquidation. After considering all facts, the CoC in its 12th meeting held on 21.06.2025 unanimously rejected the proposal for resolution being unfeasible and resolved to liquidate the Corporate Debtor under Section 33(2) of the Code. In furtherance thereof this application for liquidation is filed. 3. We have heard and carefully considered the submissions made on the application by the Resolution Professional besides perusing the material on record.

4. The provisions of sub-sections (1) and (2) of Section 33 of the Code read as follows: “33. Initiation of liquidation.- (1) Where the Adjudicating Authority, — (a) before the expiry of the insolvency resolution process period or the maximum period permitted for completion of the corporate insolvency resolution process under section 12 or the fast track corporate insolvency resolution process under section 56, as the case may be, does not receive a resolution plan under sub-section (6) of section 30; or (b) rejects the resolution plan under section 31 for the non-compliance of the requirements specified therein, it shall: (i) pass an order requiring the corporate debtor to be liquidated in the manner as laid down in this Chapter; (ii) issue a public announcement stating that the corporate debtor is in liquidation; and (iii) require such order to be sent to the authority with which the corporate debtor is registered. (2) Where the resolution professional, at any time during the corporate insolvency resolution process but before confirmation of resolution plan, intimates the Adjudicating Authority of the decision of the committee of creditors to liquidate the corporate debtor, the Adjudicating Authority shall pass a liquidation order as referred to in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of clause (b) of sub-section (1).”

5. Prescribed period for filing application: In view of the facts above narrated, this Application being under sub-section (2) of Section 33 of the IBC, 2016, there is no question of limitation.

6. Appointment of Liquidator: It is submitted that the Members of CoC in their 12th meeting held on 21.06.2025 approved the appointment of Mr. Sanjit Kumar Nayak, IBBI Registration No. IBBI/IPA-003/IP-N00079/2017-2018/10702 as Liquidator of the Corporate Debtor with 100% voting share, as per section 34 of the IBC, who has given his written consent to act as the Liquidator of the Corporate Debtor. There is no reason for this Authority to have a different point of view. Hence, the appointment of Mr. Sanjit Kumar Nayak as the Liquidator of Egita Network and Media Private Limited is hereby approved. 7. The CIRP Regulations 39B, 39C and 39D are examined hereunder. a.

Scheme of Compromise or Arrangement [Regulation 39B]- The CoC, in the same meeting, approved that the scheme of compromise or arrangement as laid out in Regulation 39BA may be considered during liquidation, if deemed feasible. c. Assessment of Sale as a going concern [Regulation 39C] - The CoC also approved the sale of the Corporate Debtor as a going concern under Regulation 32 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016, and advised the Liquidator to take appropriate steps in this regard. d. Fees of the Liquidator [Regulations 39D]- The CoC approved the fees of the Liquidator at ₹1,00,000 per month as per Regulation 39D.
