MUMBAI BENCH- I Page 18 of 24
The RP has complied with the requirement of the Code in terms of
Section 30(2)(a) to 30(2)(f) and Regulations 38(1), 38(1)(a), 38(2)(a),
38(2)(b), 38(2)(c) & 38(3) of the Regulations.
28.
The RP has filed Compliance Certificate in Form-H along with the
Plan. On perusal the same is found to be in order. The Resolution
Plan has been approved by the CoC by majority of 100%.
29.
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.
30.
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.
31. The reliefs & concessions set out in the Resolution Plan as “Reliefs
concessions and waivers” under Clause 14.1 or any other section of
the Resolution Plan shall be in accordance with the principle laid
down by Hon’ble Supreme Court in case of Ghanshyam Mishra and

MUMBAI BENCH- I Page 20 of 24

in any manner do away with the requirement of notice in terms of
Section 230 (5) of the Companies, Act 2013 to be sent to Central
Government, the Income Tax authorities’ the RBI, the SEBI, the
Registrar, the Official Liquidator or sectoral regulators for seeking

Corporate Debtor. No action shall lie against the Corporate Debtor
for any non-compliances arising prior to the date of approval of

appointments by the Corporate Debtor shall be completed within 12

Resolution Plan does not contravene any provision of any law for
the time being in force in terms of Section 30(2)(e) of the Code,
however, as an abundant caution, it is made clear that in case of any
inconsistency between any law for the time being in force and the

Debtor and shall be dealt by the appropriate Authorities in
