41. This Tribunal had sought certain clarification from the Resolution professional / SRA. An additional affidavit dated 07.07.2025 was filed to deal with those clarifications. It is, interalia, stated therein that: a. The RA has now agreed to bear and pay any liability, arising on account of the amount of claim of employees amounting to Rs.
89,92,496/- admitted as against amount of Rs. 92,29,760/- outstanding as per audited balance sheet as on 31st March 2023, additionally without disturbing the payments to other creditors.
b. The claim submitted by the PF department was of Rs. 12,93,153/- out of which the claim of Rs. 4,55,841 representing the outstanding dues towards the principal amount was admitted and the balance amount of Rs. 8,37,312 was rejected on account of interest and damages since the said dues towards interest and damages were quantified during the CIRP period. The EPFO department had issued a show cause notice on 24-5-2024 for

MUMBAI BENCH- I Page 32 of 34

quantifying the dues of the Corporate Debtor post initiation of the CIRP on 15-5-2024, accordingly such additional claim is inadmissible in view of Hon’ble NCLAT’s decision in Employees Provident Fund Organisation v/s Jaykumar Pessumal Arlani C.A. (AT) (INS) 1062 of 2024. Nonetheless, the RA has agreed to bear and pay the said amount of Rs. 8,37,312 additionally towards the said claim, if any claims arise on this account. c. The RA has separately placed an affidavit stating that if any of the reliefs and concessions as prayed for are not granted by this Hon'ble Tribunal or the concerned authorities, the RA will still implement the resolution plan and the same will not be treated as condition precedent.
42. In K Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & Others (in Civil Appeal No.10673/2018 decided on 05.02.2019) the Hon’ble Apex Court held that if the CoC had approved the Resolution Plan by requisite percent of voting share, then as per section 30(6) of the Code, it is imperative for the Resolution Professional to submit the same to the Adjudicating Authority (NCLT). On receipt of such a proposal, the Adjudicating Authority is required to satisfy itself that the Resolution Plan as approved by CoC meets the requirements specified in Section 30(2). The Hon’ble Apex Court further observed that the role of the NCLT is ‘no more and no less’. The Hon’ble Apex Court further held that the discretion of the Adjudicating Authority is circumscribed by Section 31 and is 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.
43. In view of the discussions and the law thus settled, the instant Resolution Plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2) of the Code and Regulations 37, 38, 38 (1A) and 39 (4) of the Regulations. The Resolution Plan is not in contravention of any of the provisions of Section 29A of the Code and is in accordance with law. The same needs to be approved. Hence, ordered.

MUMBAI BENCH- I Page 33 of 34

The Resolution Plan dated 11.03.2025, as amended and modified on 29.04.2025, read with the addendum and letter of intent dated 17.05.2025 as well as affidavit dated 11.07.2025 is hereby approved. It shall become effective from this date and shall form part of this order with the following directions: i. It shall be binding on the Corporate Debtor, its employees, members, creditors, including the Central Government, 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 waiver of any statutory obligations/liabilities of the Corporate Debtor and shall be dealt by the appropriate Authorities in accordance with law. Any waiver sought in the Resolution Plan, shall be subject to approval by the Authorities concerned in light of the Judgment of Supreme Court in Ghanshyam Mishra and Sons Private Limited v/s. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited, the relevant paragraphs of which are extracted herein below:
“95. (i) Once a resolution plan is duly approved by the adjudicating authority under sub-section (1) of Section 31, the claims as provided in the resolution plan shall stand frozen and will be binding on the corporate debtor and its employees, members, creditors, including the Central Government, any State Government or any local authority, guarantors and other stakeholders. On the date of approval of resolution plan by the adjudicating authority, all such claims, which are not a part of the resolution plan shall stand extinguished and no person will be entitled to initiate or continue any proceedings in respect to a claim, which is not part of the resolution plan;
(ii) 2019 Amendment to Section 31 of the I&B Code is clarificatory and declaratory in nature and therefore will be effective from the date on which the Code has come into effect;
