Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The appeal filed by the corporate debtor against the admission of the insolvency application was not maintainable, and the appeal is disposed of on that footing. Where the parties have settled and no Committee of Creditors was constituted before the settlement, the matter is left to the Adjudicating Authority to verify those facts and pass appropriate orders on any application for withdrawal, in line with the Supreme Court's observation in Swiss Ribbons Pvt. Ltd. & Anr. v. Union of India, paragraph 79.

behalf of M/s. Chaudhary Rubbers and Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.' (Operational

Creditor). It is also submitted that the 'Committee of Creditors' have not been

constituted, as on the date of settlement. In the circumstances, as the appeal

at the instance of the 'Corporate Debtor' is not maintainable, any of the

Shareholder or Director of the 'Corporate Debtor' may bring to the notice of the

Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), New Delhi Bench if

any application is filed by the parties for withdrawal of the application as per

'Terms of the Settlement' and in view of the fact that 'Committee of Creditors' -2-
