“16. RELIEFS AND CONCESSIONS
16.1. The Resolution Applicant requested for the reliefs and
concessions in order for the Plan to be successful and upon
Effective Date, each of these shall be deemed to be a part of the
Hon'ble NCLT order approving the Plan. The Resolution Applicant
will acquire control over the Company pursuant to the order of
the NCLT and not pursuant to the usual acquisition process
which would ordinarily include a detailed due diligence and
representation, warranties and indemnities in relation to the
affairs of the Company from its Existing Promoters. The
Resolution Applicant may take some time to discover all the
non-compliances that may exist in relation to the Company on
the date of acquisition of control by the Resolution Applicant over
(Admitted)
Page 20 of 29
the Company. As such the Resolution Applicant may take some time to identify such non- compliances and to address them. In light of this, the Resolution Applicant prays to the Hon'ble NCLT to grant it immunity from any actions and penalties (of any nature) under any laws for any non-compliance of laws in relation to the Company or by the Company, which was existing as on the date of acquisition of control by the Resolution Applicant over the Company and which continues for a period of up to 12 (Twelve) months after the acquisition of control by the Resolution Applicant over the Company. The Resolution Applicant undertakes to cause the Company to expeditiously identify such non-compliances, evaluate the steps required to address such non-compliances and take steps to remedy such non- compliances to the extent practically possible. 16.2. The Resolution Applicant undertakes and confirms that, on and from the approval of this Resolution Plan by the COC, and subject only to (i) obtaining required approvals from the Hon'ble NCLT or any other Authority (if required) in accordance with Applicable Law, and (ii) applicable directions of the Hon'ble NCLAT and/or Hon'ble High Court and/or Hon'ble Supreme Court, if any, all obligations and commitments, financial or otherwise, undertaken by it under this Resolution Plan towards the Approving Financial Creditors, and any other stakeholders, shall be binding on it, and shall subsist and be in full force and effect irrespective of whether any reliefs, waivers or concessions

After going through the Application, Additional Affidavits and all
other documents placed by the Applicant/RP on record and hearing the
Ld. Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant, we observe that the CoC
of the Corporate Debtor has duly considered and approved the Resolution
Plan submitted by the Successful Resolution Applicant which was put for
voting on April 10, 2024 in the 10th CoC meeting and concluded on May
10, 2024 by a voting share of 98.75%.
32.
The role of the Adjudicating Authority has been examined by the
Hon’ble Supreme Court in a catena of judgements. The relevant extracts of
the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 10673 of
2018 in the matter of K. Sashidhar Vs. Indian Overseas Bank & Ors. is
reproduced below:
“35.
Whereas, the discretion of the adjudicating authority
(NCLT) is circumscribed by Section 31 limited to scrutiny of the
resolution plan “as approved” by the requisite percent of voting
share of financial creditors. Even in that enquiry, the grounds on
which the adjudicating authority can reject the resolution plan is
in reference to matters specified in Section 30(2), when the
resolution plan does not conform to the stated requirements.
Reverting to Section 30(2), the enquiry to be done is in respect of
whether the resolution plan provides :
(i) the payment of insolvency resolution process costs in a
(Admitted)
Page 23 of 29
specified manner in priority to the repayment of other debts of
the corporate debtor,
(ii) the repayment of the debts of operational creditors in
prescribed manner,
(iii) the management of the affairs of the corporate debtor,
(iv) the implementation and supervision of the resolution plan,
(v) does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the
time being in force,
(vi) conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by
the Board. The Board referred to is established under Section
188 of the I&B Code. The powers and functions of the Board
have been delineated in Section 196 of the I&B Code. None of the
specified functions of the Board, directly or indirectly, pertain to
regulating the manner in which the financial creditors ought to or
ought not to exercise their commercial wisdom during the voting
on the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code. The
subjective satisfaction of the financial creditors at the time of
voting is bound to be a mixed baggage of variety of factors. To
wit, the feasibility and viability of the proposed resolution plan
and including their perceptions about the general capability of
the resolution applicant to translate the projected plan into a
reality. The resolution applicant may have given projections
backed by normative data but still in the opinion of the
dissenting financial creditors, it would not be free from being
(Admitted)
Page 24 of 29
speculative. These aspects are completely within the domain of the financial creditors who are called upon to vote on the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code.” “38. Indubitably, the inquiry in such an appeal would be limited to the power exercisable by the resolution professional under Section 30(2) of the I&B Code or, at best, by the adjudicating authority (NCLT) under Section 31(2) read with 31(1) of the I&B Code. No other inquiry would be permissible. Further, the jurisdiction bestowed upon the appellate authority (NCLAT) is also expressly circumscribed. It can examine the challenge only in relation to the grounds specified in Section 61(3) of the I&B Code, which is limited to matters “other than” enquiry into the autonomy or commercial wisdom of the dissenting financial creditors. Thus, the prescribed authorities (NCLT/NCLAT) have been endowed with limited jurisdiction as specified in the I & B Code and not to act as a court of equity or exercise plenary powers.”
33. In view of the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court (Supra), it is a well-settled principle of law that the Adjudicating Authority is not required to interfere with the decision taken by the CoC in its commercial wisdom, save and except the circumstances referred to in Section 31(2) of the IBC, 2016. 34. In view of the discussions and the law thus settled, the instant
(Admitted)
Page 25 of 29
Resolution Plan meets the requirements of Sections 30 and 31 of the Code and 37, 38 and 39 of the CIRP Regulations, 2016. The Resolution Plan is not in contravention of any of the provisions of Section 29A of the Code and is in accordance with law. We, therefore, allow the present Application and approve the COC approved Resolution Plan placed before us by the Applicant/RP with the following directions:
i.
It shall be binding on the Corporate Debtor, its employees, members,
creditors,
including the Central Government and any State
Government or any local authority to whom a debt in respect of the
payment of dues arising under any law for the time being in force is
due, guarantors, and other stakeholders involved in the Resolution
Plan.
ii.
The approval of the Resolution Plan shall not be construed as a
waiver of any statutory obligations or liabilities of the Corporate
Debtor and shall be dealt with by the appropriate Authorities in
accordance with the law. Any waiver sought in the Resolution Plan,
shall be subject to approval by the Authorities concerned in light of
the Judgment of the Supreme Court in Ghanshyam Mishra and
Sons Private Limited v/s. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction
Company Limited, the relevant paras of which are extracted herein
below:
“95. (i) That once a resolution plan is duly approved by the

(ii) 2019 Amendment to Section 31 of the I&B Code is

to the Central Government, any State Government or any local
authority, if not part of the resolution plan, shall stand
extinguished and no proceedings in respect of such dues for the
period prior to the date on which the adjudicating authority
grants its approval under Section 31 could be continued.”
iii. The Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) shall accordingly be amended and filed with the jurisdictional Registrar of Companies (RoC), for information and record.

compliance.
35.
The reliefs, concessions and waivers sought by the Successful
Resolution Applicant will be dealt with strictly as per law. It is further
directed that the Resolution Applicant, on taking control of the corporate
debtor, shall ensure compliance under all applicable laws for the time
being in force. As far as the question of granting time to comply with the
statutory obligations or seeking sanctions from government authorities is
concerned, the Resolution Applicant is directed to do the same within one
year as prescribed under Section 31(4) of the Code.
36.
The Resolution Professional shall stand discharged from his duties
with effect from the date of this order. However, he shall perform his
duties under monitoring committee constituted in this order in terms of
the Resolution Plan as approved by this Adjudicating Authority.

37. The Resolution Professional is further directed to hand over all records and properties to the Resolution Applicant and shall finalize the further line of action required for starting the operation.
