investment of Rs.50 Crores to repay the debts along with the Resolution Plan,
thereby satisfying the requirement of demonstrating financial capacity.
19.
In so far as approval of the Resolution Plan is concerned, this Tribunal is
convinced on the decision of the Committee of Creditors, following the
judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar –Vs–
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 48 of 61
Indian Overseas Bank (2019) 12 SCC 150, wherein in para 19 and 62 it is held as
under;
“19. … In the present case, however, our focus must be on the dispensation
governing the process of approval or rejection of resolution plan by the CoC. The
CoC is called upon to consider the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B
Code after it is verified and vetted by the resolution professional as being
compliant with all the statutory requirements specified in Section 30(2).
62. ………In the present case, however, we are concerned with the provisions of
I&B Code dealing with the resolution process. The dispensation provided in the
I&B Code is entirely different. In terms of Section 30 of the I&B Code, the
decision is taken collectively after due negotiations between the financial
creditors who are constituents of the CoC and they express their opinion on the
proposed resolution plan in the form of votes, as per their voting share. In the
meeting of the CoC, the proposed resolution plan is placed for discussion and
after full interaction in the presence of all concerned and the Resolution
Professional, the constituents of the CoC finally proceed to exercise their option
(business/commercial decision) to approve or not to approve the proposed
resolution plan. In such a case, non-recording of reasons would not per-se vitiate
the collective decision of the financial creditors. The legislature has not envisaged
challenge to the “commercial/business decision” of the financial creditors taken
collectively or for that matter their individual opinion, as the case may be, on this
count.”
20.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the matter of Committee of
Creditors of Essar Steels –Vs– Satish Kumar Gupta & Ors. in Civil Appeal No.
8766 – 67 of 2019 at para 42 has held as under;
42. ………Thus, it is clear that the limited judicial review available,
which can in no circumstance trespass upon a business decision of the
majority of the Committee of Creditors, has to be within the four corners
of Section 30(2) of the Code, insofar as the Adjudicating Authority is
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 49 of 61
concerned, and Section 32 read with Section 61(3) of the Code, insofar as the Appellate Tribunal is concerned, the parameters of such review having been clearly laid down in K. Sashidhar (supra). 21. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank and Ors. (supra) has lucidly delineated the scope and interference of the Adjudicating Authority in the process of approval of the Resolution Plan and held as under; “55. 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 per cent 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 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
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 50 of 61
still in the opinion of the dissenting financial creditors, it would not be free from
being 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.
58. 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
Section 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.”

22.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Committee of Creditors of
Essar Steel India Limited v. Satish Kumar Gupta and Ors. (2020) 8 SCC 531
after referring to the decision in K. Sashidhar (supra) has held as follows;
“73. There is no doubt whatsoever that the ultimate discretion of what to pay and
how much to pay each class or sub-class of creditors is with the Committee of
Creditors, but, the decision of such Committee must reflect the fact that it has
taken into account maximising the value of the assets of the corporate debtor and
the fact that it has adequately balanced the interests of all stakeholders including
operational creditors. This being the case, judicial review of the Adjudicating
Authority that the resolution plan as approved by the Committee of Creditors
has met the requirements referred to in Section 30(2) would include judicial
review that is mentioned in Section 30(2)(e), as the provisions of the Code are
also provisions of law for the time being in force. Thus, while the Adjudicating
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 51 of 61
Authority cannot interfere on merits with the commercial decision taken by the Committee of Creditors, the limited judicial review available is to see that the Committee of Creditors has taken into account the fact that the corporate debtor needs to keep going as a going concern during the insolvency resolution process; that it needs to maximise the value of its assets; and that the interests of all stakeholders including operational creditors has been taken care of. If the Adjudicating Authority finds, on a given set of facts, that the aforesaid parameters have not been kept in view, it may send a resolution plan back to the Committee of Creditors to re-submit such plan after satisfying the aforesaid parameters. The reasons given by the Committee of Creditors while approving a resolution plan may thus be looked at by the Adjudicating Authority only from this point of view, and once it is satisfied that the Committee of Creditors has paid attention to these key features, it must then pass the resolution plan, other things being equal.” (emphasis supplied)
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its decision in Jaypee Kensington Boulevard Apartments Welfare Association & Ors. v. NBCC (India) Ltd. & Ors. in Civil Appeal no. 3395 of 2020 dated 24.03.2021 has held as follows; 76. The expositions aforesaid make it clear that the decision as to whether corporate debtor should continue as a going concern or should be liquidated is essentially a business decision; and in the scheme of IBC, this decision has been left to the Committee of Creditors, comprising of the financial creditors. Differently put, in regard to the insolvency resolution, the decision as to whether a particular resolution plan is to be accepted or not is ultimately in the hands of the Committee of Creditors; and even in such a decision making process, a resolution plan cannot be taken as approved if the same is not approved by votes of at least 66% of the voting share of financial creditors. Thus, broadly put, a resolution plan is approved only when the collective commercial wisdom of the financial creditors, having at least 2/3rd majority of voting share in the Committee of Creditors, stands in its favour.
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 52 of 61
- In the scheme of IBC, where approval of resolution plan is exclusively in the domain of the commercial wisdom of CoC, the scope of judicial review is correspondingly circumscribed by the provisions contained in Section 31 as regards approval of the Adjudicating Authority and in Section 32 read with Section 61 as regards the scope of appeal against the order of approval. 77.1. Such limitations on judicial review have been duly underscored by this Court in the decisions above referred, where it has been laid down in explicit terms that the powers of the Adjudicating Authority dealing with the resolution plan do not extend to examine the correctness or otherwise of the commercial wisdom exercised by the CoC. The limited judicial review available to Adjudicating Authority lies within the four corners of Section 30(2) of the Code, which would essentially be to examine that the resolution plan does not contravene any of the provisions of law for the time being in force, it conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by the Board, and it provides for: (a) payment of insolvency resolution process costs in priority; (b) payment of debts of operational creditors; (c) payment of debts of dissenting financial creditors; (d) for management of affairs of corporate debtor after approval of the resolution plan; and (e) implementation and supervision of the resolution plan. 77.2. The limitations on the scope of judicial review are reinforced by the limited ground provided for an appeal against an order approving a resolution plan, namely, if the plan is in contravention of the provisions of any law for the time being in force; or there has been material irregularity in exercise of the powers by the resolution professional during the corporate insolvency resolution period; or the debts owed to the operational creditors have not been provided for; or the insolvency resolution process costs have not been provided for repayment in priority; or the resolution plan does not comply with any other criteria specified by the Board 77.6.1. The assessment about maximisation of the value of assets, in the scheme of the Code, would always be subjective in nature and the question, as to whether a particular resolution plan and its propositions are leading to maximisation of value of assets or not, would be the matter of enquiry and assessment of the Committee of Creditors alone. When the Committee of Creditors takes the decision in its commercial wisdom and by the requisite majority; and there is no valid reason in law to question the decision so taken
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 53 of 61
by the Committee of Creditors, the adjudicatory process, whether by the Adjudicating Authority or the Appellate Authority, cannot enter into any quantitative analysis to adjudge as to whether the prescription of the resolution plan results in maximisation of the value of assets or not. The generalised submissions and objections made in relation to this aspect of value maximisation do not, by themselves, make out a case of interference in the decision taken by the Committee of Creditors in its commercial wisdom 78. To put in a nutshell, the Adjudicating Authority has limited jurisdiction in the matter of approval of a resolution plan, which is well defined and circumscribed by Sections 30(2) and 31 of the Code read with the parameters delineated by this Court in the decisions above referred. The jurisdiction of the Appellate Authority is also circumscribed by the limited grounds of appeal provided in Section 61 of the Code. In the adjudicatory process concerning a resolution plan under IBC, there is no scope for interference with the commercial aspects of the decision of the CoC; and there is no scope for substituting any commercial term of the resolution plan approved by the CoC. Within its limited jurisdiction, if the Adjudicating Authority or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, would find any shortcoming in the resolution plan vis-à-vis the specified parameters, it would only send the resolution plan back to the Committee of Creditors, for re-submission after satisfying the parameters delineated by Code and exposited by this Court.”
Thus, from the catena of judgments rendered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on the scope of approval of the Resolution Plan, it is amply clear that only limited judicial review is available for the Adjudicating Authority under Section 30(2) and Section 31 of IBC, 2016 and this Adjudicating Authority cannot venture into the commercial aspects of the decisions taken by the Committee of Creditors.
IA(IBC)/Plan/12/CHE/2025 in CP(IB)/17(CHE)/2023 Page 54 of 61
In the instant case, the Resolution Plan has been approved by the CoC with 100% voting share. The voting results of the resolution approving the resolution plan has been annexed at Page 55 of the Application. 26. 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. It also complies with regulations 38 and 39 of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. 27. In the light of what has been stated above, the Resolution Plan is approved by this Adjudicating Authority, subject to the observations made in this order. The Resolution Plan shall form part of this Order. The Resolution Plan will be binding on the Corporate Debtor and other stakeholders. 28. The Resolution Applicant has sought for reliefs and concessions under the Resolution Plan and the same are dealt with hereunder:
SL.
