Sushil Kumar Aggarwal vs Prayag Polytech Pvt.Ltd And Anr

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal22 June 2022

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The appeal is dismissed as withdrawn because the claim was settled and the amount paid, and no adjudication of any legal question was undertaken. The order records only consent-based disposal and procedural directions: the Adjudicating Authority is directed to number and dispose of a Section 12A withdrawal application, and the impugned order is stayed pending that disposal. No principle of law is laid down or applied in the reasoning, so there is no ratio to extract. NO_RATIO: The order disposes of the appeal by consent on settlement and withdrawal, and gives no reasoning on any point of law; it contains only procedural directions and a stay pending the Section 12A application.

(Virtual Mode)

22.06.2022: It is represented on behalf of both sides that as per the

Settlement Agreement dated 15.06.2022 the amount was settled by the

Corporate Debtor and this particular fact has not been disputed by the

1st Respondent side. In fact, the Learned Counsel for the Respondent No. 1

brings it to the notice of this 'Tribunal' that the amount of Rs. 12,64,405/-

was fully paid by the Corporate Debtor.

In view of the fact that the amount of Rs. 12,64,405/- was paid and

the matter was settled pursuant to the Settlement Agreement dated

15.06.2022 between the parties, the Learned Counsel for the Appellant

seeks permission from this 'Tribunal' to withdraw the instant Comp. App.

(AT) (Ins.) No. 700 of 2022. Acceding to the said request, the instant Comp.

App. (AT) (Ins.) No. 700 of 2022 is dismissed as withdrawn. No costs.

On behalf of Respondent No. 2, it is brought to the notice of this

'Tribunal' that an application as per Section 12 (A) of IBC, 2016 was filed

Comp. App. (AT) (Ins.) No. 700 of 2022 1 before the Adjudicating Authority on 20.06.2022 and because of summer

recess, the 'Application' is not yet numbered by the office of the

'Adjudicating Authority' (National Company Law Tribunal, Allahabad Bench,

Prayagraj), the application cannot be numbered.

Taking into account of the fact that the Respondent No. 2/Interim

I&B code, 2016, before the 'Adjudicating Authority' seeking 'Withdrawal' of

the main application as per Regulation 30A of the IBBI (Corporate

Insolvency Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016, the

Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal, Allahabad Bench,

Prayagraj) is directed to take up the Section 12 A application (filed under

I&B Code 2016) and to number the same, if it is otherwise in order, and to

dispose of the said application within one week from the date of numbering

of the said application and to dispose of the same in accordance with Law

and in the manner known to Law, within two weeks thereafter.

Till the disposal of the Section 12 A 'Application', the implementation

of the impugned order dated 13.06.2022 passed by the 'Adjudicating

Authority' in CP (IB) No. 312/ALD/2019 shall remain stayed.
