IA(IBC)(LIQ)/15(CHE)/2025 & IA(IBC)818/2025 in CP(IB)179(CHE)/2023 In the matter of Right Health Platter Private Limited

2. The brief facts leading to the filing of the applications are that Right

Health Platter India Private Limited, the Corporate Debtor herein was admitted into CIRP on 20.09.2024 in CP(IB)/179(CHE)/2023. Ms. Rongali Sridevi was appointed as the IRP. As contemplated in the IBC, 2016 and Regulations, IRP made a public announcement on 26.09.2024 calling for the creditors to submit their claims with proof. The IRP received and collated the claims and constituted the CoC on 14.10.2024.

3. In the 1st CoC meeting held on 22.10.2024, the IRP was proposed to be replaced with a new RP. In the 2nd CoC meeting held on 22.11.2024, M/s. RSGD

Insolvency Professional Services Pvt. Ltd., an IP entity was proposed and approved as the RP. Consequently, M/s. RSGD Insolvency Professional Services

Pvt. Ltd was appointed as the RP on 24.01.2025.

IA(IBC)(LIQ)/15(CHE)/2025 & IA(IBC)818/2025 in CP(IB)179(CHE)/2023 In the matter of Right Health Platter Private Limited

5. It is stated that the Applicant took charge of the Corporate Debtor in a phased manner from 03.02.2025 to 04.03.2025. This phased takeover was necessitated due to various complications, such as the assets of the Corporate

Debtor were in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu and there were issues with the landlord in respect of the Corporate Debtor’s office premises. It is stated that in the 4th CoC Meeting, it was resolved to approve the payment of arrears of rent to Real Dairy Products Private Limited at Rs.3,50,000/- per month plus GST for a period of 6 months from the date of initiation of CIRP i.e., September 2024 to February 2025. Further, monthly rent of Rs.3,50,000/- plus GST was approved to Real Dairy Products Private Limited till the machinery are removed from the leased premises. It was also resolved that the lease rent of the premises situated at Adambakkam, Chennai would be Rs.12,500/- per month from 05.03.2025 for the purpose of storing of documents and records of the Corporate Debtor.

6. It is stated that the RP appointed Manoj Kasat & Associates and Mr. Amol

Devarde as valuers to value the Plant and Machinery of the Corporate Debtor.

The Corporate Debtor’s machinery is housed in the lease premise at Baramathi,

Maharashtra. It is stated that the value as per the valuation report by the registered valuers is much less as compared to the aggregate debts of the Corporate Debtor and there are pending disputes. The CoC opined that the possibility of resolution is very remote. It was also noticed that the Corporate

Debtor was not a going concern as the operation was discontinued in July 2023.

IA(IBC)(LIQ)/15(CHE)/2025 & IA(IBC)818/2025 in CP(IB)179(CHE)/2023 In the matter of Right Health Platter Private Limited

Since, the period of 180 days for completion of CIRP process as provided under

Section 12(1) of IBC, 2016 was expiring on 18.03.2025, the Applicant called for the 4th CoC meeting. One of the agenda was for filing an application for extension of CIRP period by 90 days as per Regulation 40 of IBBI (Insolvency

Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. It is stated that the proposed resolution for the extension of CIRP period secured only 37.13% votes.

7. It is stated that the period of CIRP has expired. No resolution plan has been approved. The natural corollary provided in law is to go for the liquidation of the Corporate Debtor.

8. It is stated that in the 5th CoC meeting held on 15.04.2025, the CoC decided to recommend for liquidation of Corporate Debtor as per Section 33 of IBC with 89.09% voting. The CoC also recommended Mr. G. Gunasekaran with Reg. No. IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00681/2017-2018/11178 to be appointed as the Liquidator. Mr. G. Gunasekaran, also accorded his acceptance to act as the liquidator of Corporate Debtor viz., Right Health Platter Private Limited. The consent letter in Form AA and copy of AFA are marked as Annexure II-G.

9. We have heard Ld. Counsel for the Applicant and perused the records.

10. In the instant case, the CIRP period of 180 days was expiring on 18.03.2025. The CoC also voted against seeking an extension of CIRP period in its 4th CoC meeting held on 13.03.2025. In the 5th CoC meeting held on 15.04.2025,

IA(IBC)(LIQ)/15(CHE)/2025 & IA(IBC)818/2025 in CP(IB)179(CHE)/2023 In the matter of Right Health Platter Private Limited it was resolved to recommend for the liquidation of the Corporate Debtor. The resolution was passed with 89.09% voting. The CoC also discussed about the liquidation cost, name of the proposed Liquidator and the fee to be paid to the Liquidator. It was resolved as under:

“RESOLVED THAT, as there is no liquid asset available to meet the liquidation cost, the CoC decided to contribute towards Liquidation cost as and when incurred by the Liquidator and is of the view that no need for creation of corpus fund as provided in regulation 2A of the IBBI (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016.

FURTHER RESOLVED THAT expenditure incurred by the Liquidator as per the Liquidation process regulations with the approval of the Financial Creditors be contributed by the CoC members proportionate to their respective voting share.”

This resulted in delay of 48 days in filing the application. It was also resolved that the Liquidator be paid a fee of Rs. 2,00,000/- + GST per month from the date of appointment as Liquidator till the dissolution of the Corporate Debtor which would be exclusive of any expenses incurred by the Liquidator with the approval of CoC / SCC. It was also resolved that since there is no liquidation assets available to meet the liquidation cost, the CoC /

SCC members would contribute to the expenses proportionate to their respective voting share. The said resolution was passed with 78.2% voting.

11. It is stated that although the CoC voted against seeking an extension in the 4th meeting held on 13.03.2025 but the resolution for the liquidation of the IA(IBC)(LIQ)/15(CHE)/2025 & IA(IBC)818/2025 in CP(IB)179(CHE)/2023 In the matter of Right Health Platter Private Limited

Corporate Debtor was taken up on 15.04.2025 in the 5th CoC meeting and the e-voting completed on 27.04.2025 which led to delay.

Finding the reason for delay in filing the liquidation application to be genuine, the Application, IA(IBC)/818(CHE)/2025 for condoning the delay of 48 days is allowed and delay is condoned.

12. Considering the submissions, minutes of the 5th CoC, and the report, we allow the application IA(IBC)(LIQ)/15(CHE)/2025 and order to initiate liquidation process against the Corporate Debtor Right Health Platter Pvt. Ltd.

In the instant case, the COC has recommended the name Mr. G. Gunasekaran to act as a liquidator. He has also given his concern. His registration is also valid.

13. We therefore appoint Mr. G. Gunasekaran, with Reg. No. IBBI/IPA-

001/IP-P00681/2017-2018/11178 as the Liquidator of the Corporate Debtor, to carry out the liquidation process subject to the following term/directions.
