Krishna Chamadia vs Respondent(S)
- CitationComp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 351 of 2026
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Appellate Tribunal's reasoning rests on the following rule: where the Successful Resolution Applicant has, during the pendency of the appeal, deposited the full performance security required under the Request for Resolution Plan, and no other objection to the resolution plan remains, the ground on which the Adjudicating Authority rejected the plan under Sections 30(2) and 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 no longer subsists, and the appropriate course is to set aside the rejection and remit the plan application to the Adjudicating Authority for fresh consideration on the footing that the performance security has been furnished.

ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
23.02.2026 Heard Ld. Counsel for Appellant and Ld. Counsel appearing
for Successful Resolution Applicant (SRA).
2. This Appeal has been filed by the Resolution Professional challenging the
order dated 09/01/2026 passed in I.A. (Plan) No. 47 of 2025. Adjudicating
Authority by the impugned order has rejected the Resolution Plan holding that
the full Performance Security has not been submitted by the SRA. Amount of
Rs. 1.9 crores was to be given as performance security, whereas SRA has given
security of only Rs. 85,10,000/-, being 10% of the infusion amount.
3. Adjudicating Authority in Para 47, has made following observations by
rejecting the Resolution Plan).
"47. In view of the foregoing analysis, this Tribunal holds that the Resolution Plan approved by the Committee of Creditors is in violation of the mandatory terms of the RFRP, particularly with respect to the furnishing of Performance Security, and therefore fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 30(2) and Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016."
4. Ld. Counsel for Appellant submitted that although, Appellant has
submitted that Committee of Creditors has power to relax the amount of
performance security and it has relaxed, but the SRA has already deposited the
balance amount of 1.1 crores on 04/02/2026. He further submitted that the
CoC with 67% has authorized the appeal to be filed.
5. Ld. Counsel for Resolution Professional submitted that in view of the RP
having deposited the full performance security, and there was no objection with
regard to the Resolution Plan apart from full performance security having not
been deposited.
6. In the facts of the present case, now the full performance security has
been deposited, we are of the view that ends of justice be served in reviving the
application for Plan approval in I.A. (Plan) No. 47 of 2025 for fresh consideration
before the Adjudicating Authority.
7. Adjudicating Authority shall proceed to consider the Plan taking into
consideration performance security has been deposited.
8. With these observations, we dispose of the Appeal.
