Sunrise Mining Company Pvt. Ltd vs Twenty First Century Wire Rods Limited
- CitationComp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 357 of 2026
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
An operational creditor is not entitled, under the scheme of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the CIRP Regulations, to a copy of the resolution plan approved by the Committee of Creditors. Where an earlier order has closed objections to a resolution plan with liberty to challenge any future plan, that liberty does not entitle the creditor to demand the rejected or newly approved plan at the interim stage; the creditor may instead file an appropriate objection to any new resolution plan, raising all permissible pleas in accordance with law.

ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
27.02.2026 Heard Ld. Counsel for Appellant. This Appeal has been filed
against the order dated 18/12/2025 passed in I.A. No 4975/ND/2025.
Appellant is an operational creditor, who has filed the Application which prayers
are noticed in Para 1 of the order, which is as follows :
1. This is an Application filed under Section 60(5) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC), read with Rule 11 of the NCLT Rules, 2016, by M/ s Sunrise Mining Company Private Limited ("Applicant") seeking the following relief
I. Allow the present application; and
II. Direct the Resolution Professional to supply a copy of IA. No. 18 of 2025 along with the Resolution Plan approved by the Committee of Creditors to the Applicant; and
III. Allow the Applicant a period of 28 days to file objections to IA 18/ 2025 after receipt of the copy from the Resolution Professional; and IV. Stay the adjudication of IA. No. 18 of 2025 pending before this Hon'ble Tribunal till the disposal of the present application; and
V. Pass any other such orders as this Hon'ble Tribunal may deem fit in the interest of justice, equity and good conscience.
2. Adjudicating Authority has rejected the Application. Ld. Counsel for
Appellant, relying on an earlier order dated 30/03/2022 passed in I.A. No 590
of 2021, submitted that Appellant has been given liberty to challenge the
Resolution Plan, and it was on the Appellant's objection that earlier Plan was
remanded back. It is submitted that hence he is entitled for the copy of the
Resolution Plan.
3. We have considered submissions of Ld. Counsel for Appellant and perused
the records. Earlier order passed by the Adjudicating Authority in I.A. No 590 of
2021 dated 30/03/2023 is as follows:
"These two applications are the objections to the Resolution plan. Now that the plan has been sent back to the CoC for reconsideration, the cause of action for filing these applications do not survive. Accordingly CA No. 2781/2019 & IA-590/2021 are closed with the liberty to challenge as and when the Resolution Plan if any plan is approved".
4. Appellant is an operational creditor and under the scheme of the IBC and
the CIRP Regulation, he is not entitled for the copy of the Resolution Plan. When
the court has granted liberty to the Appellant to challenge the Plan, it is always
open for the Appellant to file appropriate Application objecting to the new
Resolution Plan raising all permissible pleas in accordance with law.
In view of the aforesaid, we see no reason to interfere in this order.

5. With the aforesaid liberty, the Appeal is dismissed.
