Roopyaa Tradebizz Limited (Successful ... vs Bhavik Haribhai Rupara Liquidator Of ...
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Ins) No. 576 of 2026
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
Where a successful resolution applicant fails to implement the approved resolution plan within the timelines allowed, the Adjudicating Authority does not err in directing the Monitoring Committee to apply for liquidation of the corporate debtor, given the importance of time-bound completion of the corporate insolvency resolution process. A successful resolution applicant who has failed to implement the resolution plan is not a necessary party to an application for liquidation of the corporate debtor, and its non-impleadment in such an application is not an error warranting interference.

(Hybrid Mode)
29.05.2026: These two appeals have been filed by the same Appellant, CA
(AT) (Ins) No. 576 of 2026 has been filed challenging the order passed by the
Adjudicating Authority dated 08.01.2026 by which Adjudicating Authority on
an application filed by the Erstwhile RP came to the conclusion that resolution
plan has not been implemented by the appellant. The Adjudicating Authority
directed for Monitoring Committee to file an application for liquidation.
2. In CA (AT) (Ins) No. 577 of 2026 has been filed challenging the order
dated 13.01.2026 by which Adjudicating Authority has allowed the application
for liquidation and appointed the liquidator.
3. The appellant challenging both the aforesaid orders has filed these two
appeals. Counsel for the appellant submitted that in support of appeal CA (AT)
(Ins) No. 576 of 2026 that appellant has paid initially Rs.72 lakhs and upfront
payment of Rs. 99 lakhs were also paid but since the assets were not handed
over and sale was not permitted of the assets which was part of the resolution
plan, no further payment could be made. In support of the second appeal CA
(AT) (Ins) No. 577 of 2026, it is submitted that appellant was not made a party
to the application filed for the liquidation whereas he was the necessary party
in the proceeding.
Comp. App. (AT) (Ins) Nos. 576 & 577 of 2026 2 of 4
4. Ld. Counsel for the respondent opposing the submission of the appellant,
submitted that appellant failed to implement the plan within the time allowed,
the upfront payment of Rs.99 lacs which was paid by a third party bank draft.
The bank draft expired and the amount could not be realised and further
upfront payment having not been made appellant did not take any steps for
payment of further trenches, plan was not implemented as per the resolution
plan hence Adjudicating Authority has directed for liquidation.
5. We have heard the counsel for the parties and perused the records.
6. We are of the view that Adjudicating Authority did not commit any error
in directing for filing an application for liquidation since the Successful
Resolution Applicant failed to implement the plan within the timelines.
Timeline in CIRP has its own importance and proceeding has to be completed
within a reasonable time and after SRA has failed to implement the plan the
liquidation in the consequence and Adjudicating Authority has rightly directed
for liquidation. In so far as submission of the appellant that he was necessary
party to the liquidation application, we are of the view that SRA who failed to
implement the plan is not the necessary party in the application which was
filed for liquidation of CD. We thus are of the view that no error has been found
to exercise appellate jurisdiction by this Tribunal in interfering with the
impugned order. Counsel for the appellant lastly submitted that liquidator is
going to auction the assets on undervalued amount, it is always open for any
Comp. App. (AT) (Ins) Nos. 576 & 577 of 2026 3 of 4 interested party to take such measures against the auction as permissible in
law.
With these observations, we dismiss both the appeals.
