In compliance with Regulation 6 of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 (“CIRP Regulations”), the IRP made a public announcement in Form-A on 25.12.2021 in Financial Express (Delhi NCR Edition in English & Hindi). The last date for submission of claims was fixed as 07.01.2022. iii. In terms of Regulation 13, the IRP verified the claims received and prepared the list of creditors. Till the last date for submission of the claims, only one operational creditor and three financial creditors' claims were received and admitted. The Committee of Creditors (CoC) was constituted in accordance with Regulation 17. Vide order dated 08.02.2022, the CoC constitution report was taken on record. iv. That Form G was published on 14.03.2022 in the Economic Times and Jansatta newspapers inviting Expressions of Interest ("EOIs") from prospective Resolution Applicants. Upon the expiry of the stipulated timeline as per the published Form G, five EOIs were received, whereupon the Resolution Professional prepared and published the final list of Prospective Resolution Applicants ("PRAs") in accordance with the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the regulations framed thereunder.

v. That, pursuant to requests received from the PRAs, the last date for submission of Resolution Plans was extended on multiple occasions, with the final extended date being fixed as 31.08.2022. Upon the expiry of the said timeline, two Resolution Plans were received from the following Resolution Applicants:

Thereafter, the RP convened the 13th Meeting of the Committee of Creditors ("CoC") on 03.10.2022, wherein detailed deliberations were undertaken with respect to the Resolution Plans submitted by the IA 1436/ND/2023 In CP IB No. 376/ND/2020 Order Delivered on: 10.07.2026 aforesaid Resolution Applicants. During the course of such deliberations, the members of the CoC identified certain non-commercial deficiencies in the Resolution Plans. Accordingly, it was resolved that the RP shall communicate the said deficiencies to the respective Resolution Applicants and afford them an opportunity to rectify the same. vii. Subsequently, the RP convened the 16th Meeting of the CoC on 09.11.2022 and 10.11.2022, wherein, after detailed deliberations, both the Resolution Plans were placed before the members of the CoC for voting. Upon granting several extensions for completion of the voting process, the voting was concluded on 13.01.2023. Both the Resolution Plans were rejected by the CoC with a voting share of 98.26%. viii. Thereafter, in the 19th Meeting of the Committee of Creditors held on 16.01.2023, taking note of the rejection of both the Resolution Plans, the CoC, in the exercise of its commercial wisdom, resolved, with a voting share of 98.26%, to liquidate the Corporate Debtor and also proposed for appointment of the Liquidator.
