Proptree Promoters Pvt. Ltd vs Ducturus Resolution Professionals ...
- CitationComp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 885 of 2026
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority rightly held that an operational creditor whose claim has already been admitted in the corporate insolvency resolution process, and whose resolution plan is pending before it, has no locus to maintain an application seeking relief of the kind sought in the interlocutory application, and the statutory character of the 70% amount maintained under the RERA framework does not alter that position at this stage.

(Hybrid Mode)
19.05.2026 This Appeal has been filed against the order dated
23.03.2026 passed by the Adjudicating Authority in I.A. No. 1206 of 2026
filed by the Appellant, who is an Operational Creditor. Various prayers have
been made by the Appellant which is quoted in Para-1 of the order. The
Adjudicating Authority had taken the view that claim of the Appellant has
already been admitted under the CIRP and resolution plan is pending for
adjudication, the Applicant has no locus to file the present application. In
Para-3 of the order of the Adjudicating Authority made following observation:
"The applicant admittedly is an Operational Creditor whose claim has already been admitted by the RP and the resolution plan is pending for adjudication before this Adjudicating Authority. In our view, the applicant has no locus to file the present application."
Ld. Counsel for the Appellant submitted that the 70% account which is
to be maintained as per the RERA Act, 2016 and the Regulation framed thereunder has statutory obligations for use of the amount. There is no
dispute to the preposition that the 70% amount has statutory obligations, the
Appellant, who is an Operational Creditor and whose claim has been admitted
under the CIRP and the Resolution Plan is pending before the Adjudicating
Authority, at this stage, we are of the view that the Adjudicating Authority has
rightly rejected the application filed by the Appellant. However, we observe
that Adjudicating Authority's order dated 23.03.2026 should be treated to
confine to the I.A. No. 1206 of 2026 and shall have no effect in any other
proceedings.
The Appeal is dismissed.
