Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on

Resolution Plan having got approved by the Adjudicating Authority, his grievance

It is always open for the Appellant to approach the Resolution Applicant and
request for consideration and it is for the Resolution Applicant to consider and
take any measure as permissible in law. With these observations, we dismiss
