The underlying Company Petition CP (IB) No.118/ALD/2020 filed on behalf of Corporate Applicant i.e. M/s Dehradun Integrated Arena Limited under Section 10 of the Code for initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (“CIRP”), which was admitted by this Adjudicating Authority vide its order dated 02.03.2022 (“Admission Order”).

It is further to note that the Applicant/ RP did not allow the sole Financial Creditor i.e. IL&FS Township and Urban Assets Limited (ITUAL) to participate in the meeting as a member of the CoC, as it was identified to be a related entity of the Corporate Debtor. Thereafter, the first CoC meeting was held on 22.04.2022 and in pursuance to the conclusion of first CoC meeting, the ITUAL filed an application bearing IA No.151 of 2022 before this Tribunal seeking directions to make ITUAL a member of the CoC, as it was no longer a related party to the Corporate Debtor. The said application was allowed by this Tribunal on 25.05.2022 with a direction to the Applicant/ RP to reconstitute the CoC by giving berth to ITUAL being the sole Financial Creditor of the Corporate Debtor. Therefore, in compliance to the said order passed by this Tribunal, Applicant/

Analysis & Findings
27. On hearing the submissions made by the Ld. Counsel for the
Resolution Professional and perusing the record, we find that the
Resolution Plan has been approved by the CoC with 100% of the
members voting in favour of the Resolution Plan. As per the CoC,
the Plan meets the requirement of being a viable and feasible
revival of the Corporate Debtor. By and large, there are
provisions for making the Plan effective after approval by this
Bench.
28. On perusal of the documents on record, we are satisfied that the
Resolution Plan is in accordance with Sections 30 and 31 of the
IBC and also complies with regulations 37, 38 and 39 of the IBBI
