- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No.600 of 2024
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The reliefs and concessions available to a successful bidder in a liquidation proceeding are those permitted by the liquidation process document and the Liquidation Regulations; relief outside that scope is not admissible, and an Adjudicating Authority's grant of the reliefs necessary for the successful bidder to carry on the business, within that framework, does not warrant appellate interference.

ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
12.04.2024: Heard Mr. Pratik Tripathi appearing for the Appellant. This
Appeal has been filed against impugned order dated 25.01.2024 passed by the
Adjudicating Authority by which order the application filed by the Successful
Bidder in the liquidation proceeding of the Corporate Debtor seeking various
reliefs and concessions has been decided. The Adjudicating Authority vide
Para 6.1 of the order has granted reliefs and concessions to the extent as
indicated.
2. Appellant challenging the order contends that the Adjudicating
Authority failed to grant necessary concession with regard to listing of
company whereas the company is a listed company. The Adjudicating
Authority by the impugned order has allowed the reliefs and concessions
which according to the Adjudicating Authority was necessary for the
Successful Purchaser in the liquidation proceeding. The Appellant referring
to the Liquidation Regulation submits that acquisition plan under liquidation
Cont'd.../ -2-
is akin to resolution plan under the CIRP and said benefits should also be
allowed to the Appellant.
3. The Appellant being Successful Bidder in the Liquidation Proceeding,
reliefs and concessions as permissible under the liquidation process document
and the Regulation are only admissible and the Adjudicating Authority has
granted the reliefs and concessions which was necessary for the Appellant to
carry on the business. We see no reason to interfere with the order impugned.
