Brief Background 2.1 The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) being the owner of land admeasuring 40,429.64 square meters, situated at Village Majas being part of CTS Nos. 160/A/1, 162, 163, 165 and 170/C, MHB Colony Sarvodayanagar, Jogeshwari (East), Mumbai 400060, had constructed 88 (eighty- eight) chawls on the afore-mentioned land.
2.2 The occupants of the said chawls formed and registered as one federal society under the name ‘Majaswadi Sarvodayanagar Sahakari Grihnirman Sanstha Society’ (subsequently renamed to ‘Majaswadi Sarvodayanagar Co-operative Housing Society Limited’) (Apex Society). In the year 2008, the members of the said Society decided to undertake the redevelopment of the Property, as a composite redevelopment scheme.
2.3 Subsequently, bids were invited from various developers and one M/s J. P. Infra (Mumbai) Private Limited (JPL) was appointed to construct and redevelop the said property. By and under two Development Agreements dated 06.03.2009 and 05.10.2009 read with Deed of Confirmation dated 06.08.2010 and Deed of Rectification dated 30.06.2010, (collectively, ‘Redevelopment Agreement’) granted development rights to and in favour of JPL in respect of a portion of the Property admeasuring 35,173.44 square meters. (‘Redevelopment Property’).
Page 7 of 53
2.4 By and under the terms of a First Supplemental Agreement dated 06.08.2010, the Apex Society granted its consent/No Objection to the proposed joint venture agreement to be entered between JPL, Keemaya Developers Pvt. Ltd. (Keemaya) and Acme Realities Pvt. Ltd. (‘Corporate Debtor’) for carrying out redevelopment of the Redevelopment Property.
2.5 Pursuant thereto, a joint venture agreement dated 06.08.2010 was entered amongst JPL, Keemaya and the Corporate Debtor for redeveloping the Redevelopment Property in terms of the Redevelopment Agreements and outlining the roles of the Corporate Debtor, JPL and Keemaya in relation thereto.
2.6 Thereafter, by a Second Supplemental Agreement dated 08.05.2010 and Third Supplemental Agreement dated 06.08.2010, both entered between JPL, Keemaya and the Corporate Debtor, the parties thereto had inter alia agreed that the Corporate Debtor shall construct and hand over the constructed portions to JPL and Keemaya. Further, their respective entitlement in the residential premises in the new buildings was agreed to be 6.375% to JPL and 13.625% to Keemaya of the total built up area, and the Corporate Debtor was entitled to sell and dispose of the remaining 80% of the built-up area in the new buildings in such manner as it may deem fit.
2.7 Accordingly, the Corporate Debtor proceeded to develop the Redevelopment Property in a phase-wise manner under the project name ‘Acme Boulevard’. In addition to the buildings to be constructed for residential/commercial purposes as ACME Boulevard, the Corporate Debtor was also required to construct buildings for rehabilitation of the existing tenants. From the year 2013 onwards, the Corporate Debtor began marketing and taking bookings for flats/ apartments in Tower 4 and Tower 5 of the Acme Boulevard project and began issuing letters of allotment and entered into various agreements for sale of the flats/
Page 8 of 53
apartments in Tower 4 and Tower 5 of the Acme Boulevard project.
2.8 In pursuance of the aforesaid Redevelopment Agreements, the MHADA issued no objection certificate dated 28.03.2014, granted permission to the Apex Society for redevelopment of the Redevelopment Property on the terms and conditions stated therein and further approved the scheme for redevelopment of the Redeveloped Property under applicable provisions of the Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai, 1991.
2.9 Accordingly, the Corporate Debtor began constructing the wing/Towers 4 and 5 on ACME Boulevard. Both Towers are registered with the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA Act).
2.10 However, the Corporate Debtor failed to handover the flats to the homebuyers. Consequently, a group of homebuyers led by Mr. Abhishek Ranganathan along with other homebuyers of the Corporate Debtor (‘Homebuyers’), in the capacity of financial creditors in a class, filed application under Section 7 of the Code against the Corporate Debtor.

- Payment and Settlement to Financial Creditors of the Corporate Debtor 14.1 It is pertinent to mention here that the Resolution Plan has been approved by the CoC by 100% voting and there are no dissenting creditors.
14.2 The payment and implementation terms and schedule as provided in Form H (Clauses 7A, 7B and 9) are already replicated above. However, for sake of clarity, we deem it necessary to capture some additional details of proposed settlement towards the financial creditors of the Corporate Debtor:
A. Payment to Secured Financial Creditors • The Resolution Plan initially proposed a payment of Rs 51,00,00,000 (Rupees Fifty-One crore) in the event of exercise of the SFC Option and Rs.70,00,00,000 (Seventy Crores Only) in the event the SFC Option is not exercised (‘Entire Amount’) as per schedule annexed as Annexure C and Annexure C1 to this resolution plan. • Thereafter, by way of an Addendum dated 31.01.2025, the payment in case of exercise of SFC was revised from Rs. 51,00,00,000 to Rs. 65,00,00,000. • Subsequently, a clarificatory email dated 03.02.2025 was addressed by the SRA to the RP which is reproduced below:
Page 29 of 53
“In reference to our addendum to the resolution plan dated 31st January 2025 ("Addendum"), we would like to provide the following clarifications for the avoidance of doubt:
- We have submitted our bid for enhancement of Payment
in Financial Plan to the Secured Financial Creditors as
below:
“Further, the Secured Financial Creditors shall have an option to accept Rs. 65 Crores being offered herein by the Resolution Applicant, as a one-time full and final settlement towards their Admitted Financial Debt (“SFC Option”) .....” - In the Addendum we have confirmed that wherever in our plan the upfront payment to Secured Financial Creditor is written as “51 Crores” the same shall be read as “65 Crores” and all clauses shall be read harmoniously accordingly.
- Accordingly, it is clarified and confirmed that the
distribution of Rs. 65 Crores shall be in the below ratio
between the Secured Financial Creditors:
a. To HDFC Capital Affordable Real Estate Fund-1- Rs. 19.75 Crores
b. To HDFC Bank limited- Rs. 45.25 Crores
It is further clarified and confirmed that the Definition on Page 20 of Resolution Plan defining “Upfront Payment/ Upfront Cash” should be read as follows
“shall mean (a) the cash amounting to at least INR · 26,67,58,000 (Indian Rupees twenty six crore sixty seven lac fifty eight thousand) payable (in INR/Rs.) by the Resolution Applicant to the CoC within 60 (sixty) days of receipt of the Approval Date; OR (b) the cash amounting to INR 66,67,58,000 (Indian Rupees Sixty Six crores sixty seven lac fifty eight thousand) payable by the Resolution Applicant to the CoC within 60 (sixty) days of receipt of the Approval Date, as stated in TABLE 6.1 below. This
Page 30 of 53
shall be in form of bank draft or deposit in the special account maintained by the RP.”
- Inadvertently certain inconsistencies had crept in
regarding the term/ composition of the Monitoring
Committee. Accordingly, it is clarified and confirmed that
Clause f on page 119 and Schedule I, para G of Part G
and all other references pertaining to the term/
composition of the Monitoring Committee should be read
as follows:
“On such date on which all the payments due to the Secured Financial Creditors envisaged under this Resolution Plan are made in full to their satisfaction, the members of the Monitoring Committee representing! nominated by the Secured Financial Creditors shall be discharged and the Monitoring Committee shall accordingly stand reconstituted with the remaining members as mentioned herein. On and upon acquiring Occupation Certificate of Tower 4 and Tower 5 as contemplated for the Homebuyers, the Monitoring Committee shall stand discharged from its duties and dissolved.”
B. Resolution Framework Financial Creditors in a Class – Homebuyers • The total admitted claim of Homebuyers is Rs. 525.66 crores. The Resolution Plan provides the following framework with respect to the completion of construction of flats:
a) On effective date of this resolution plan, a Construction linked plan (C.L.P) shall be shared with all admitted Homebuyers as per the balance consideration due from them.
Page 31 of 53
b) The Homebuyers shall be expected to pay a token amount of Rs. 25,000/- or balance amount whichever is lower within 15 days from effective date to show their assent to the plan and also to register them in the ERP and CRM systems of the RA.
c) The Home buyers as a class shall in total discharge the balance sold receivable liability of 74 crores to the Corporate Debtor as per agreed upon CLP.
d) The Corporate Debtor shall complete the project within schedule committed in Annexure B and handover peaceful and vacant possession to the Homebuyers.
e) Any and all claims over and above the possession of the Flat shall be discharged in full on Approval date.
f) Further, each Homebuyer shall be given one 2 ton Air conditioner as a matter of goodwill gesture and a token of appreciation over their patience and resilience in the resolution of Acme. This shall be discharged on or before possession of the unit to the Allottees/ Homebuyers as per this plan.
g) The Resolution Applicant shall also cause formation of Housing Society of the Homebuyers within 6 months from Approval date so that effective inter-se communication can be achieved by the entire class of Home buyers by and amongst themselves.
• The other relevant clauses in the Resolution Plan pertaining to the construction and delivery of units to the Homebuyers are reproduced below:
“xxx G) Home buyers should not be allowed to voluntarily cancel their allotments and seek refunds of the monies
Page 32 of 53
paid by them without verification of the said claims. Refund of principal amount (Amount of claim reported excluding interest or the like even if included in admitted claim) shall be offered as refund in exceptional cases as per the discretion of Resolution Applicant only, and only if the unit so booked by such Homebuyer is sold by the Resolution Applicant in the course of delivery and not otherwise.
H) Home buyers shall be obligated to clear the amounts payable as per their agreements or the agreed upon schedule as per their allotment letters/ or as decided by the Resolution Applicant for the project on raising of valid demand on completion of milestone. The Homebuyers shall disburse the said amounts to the Corporate Debtor within 15 days from raising such demand.
I) Any Homebuyer who does not pay the amount so demanded validly under this Resolution Plan and his Agreement, shall be sent two (2) reminders upto 30 Days from such first demand after which his unit allotment and agreement shall be considered cancelled (with no separate notice required for the same). Delayed payment by Homebuyers beyond 30 days shall be liable to be charged interest Rera approved rates such as to disincentivise derailing of cashflow of Corporate Debtor which is very essential for the Resolution Plan to be successful.
J) The key factors considered by Resolution Applicant in
determining the Delivery Schedule as per Annexure B are:
i) Extent of Project which has been sold/ allotted;
ii) Amount of funding needed to start and/or complete
the Project and availability of such funding;
iii) Number of units which can be delivered;
iv) Status of licenses and relevant permits;
Page 33 of 53
v) Ease of re-start and completion;
vi) Timeline for achieving completion;
vii) Amount of surplus which would be generated from
the Project following completion;
viii) Inter se phasing of Projects.”
xxx
L) Two Material Constraints, as identified by the
Resolution Applicant in ensuring timely construction and
delivery of homes would be
i. Availability of adequate and timely funds to
Corporate Debtor, including initial and upfront
working capital to restart all the ongoing
projects
- One of the principal sources of funds for the projects would be, as noted earlier, is the receivables from the Homebuyers. The Resolution Applicant has assumed a regular and timely payment of their balance dues by various Homebuyers as per the revised /updated payment plans which shall be communicated to them within 90 days from the Approval Date.
- Such Updated Plan would be binding on the concerned Homebuyers. Timely Payment by Homebuyers as per the updated payment schedule holds the essence of this Resolution Plan.
- The Updated Payment Plan will provide a period of at least 15 days to the Homebuyers to make the payment of first instalment (“Payment Due Date”). A delay beyond 15 days by any Homebuyer in making payments as per the Updated Payment Plan would entitle the Company to charge interest as per RERA regulations on the delayed amounts for the period of default from the Payment Due Date
Page 34 of 53
till such time the amounts remain unpaid by the
Homebuyer.
4.
Continued
defaults
may
lead
to
cancellation/forfeiture of the relevant allotments/
sale by the Homebuyers.
5. The Resolution Applicant will only be able to
commence the construction of the relevant Projects
after at least 75% of Homebuyers (or such other
percentage as decided by the Resolution Applicant
on tower by tower basis) have paid the first
instalment as per the Updated Payment Plan. The
First Instalment though nominal shall ensure the
individual Homebuyers compliance to the plan. The
Resolution Applicant proposes an upfront payment
of Rs.25,000 or 100% of Balance Payment
whichever is lower by the Hon1ebuyers. For E.g. If
a homebuyer X, has to pay balance payment of 1.5
cr as per the earlier example, he/she will be liable
to make an upfront payment of Rs.25,000 to the
Corporate Debtor so as to enable the Resolution
Applicant to initiate the stalled relationship with
the homebuyer, register him in the new ERP system
and further confirm the compliance by the
Homebuyer to the contours of Resolution Plan.
ii. Availability of Timely Licenses, approvals, permits and all other relevant exemptions and approvals as specifically and generally prayed for in this Resolution Plan:-
- Multiple licenses, approvals and permits of the Acme in relation to Project have lapsed or are not being provided to the Corporate Debtor due to inability of the Corporate Debtor to defray certain Project costs/ charges to the conce1ned authorities.
Page 35 of 53
- If the relevant authorities refuse to give concessions or continue to delay the grant of various licenses, approvals and permits, then the resolution process would be severely hampered.
- The Resolution Applicant has also assumed that by virtue of the order of Adjudicating Authority approving this Resolution Plan and since the Resolution Applicant would acquire the Corporate Debtor on a ‘going concern’ basis, all consents, licenses, approvals, rights, entitlements, benefits and privileges whether under law, contract, lease or license, granted in favour of the Corporate Debtor or to which the Corporate Debtor is entitled or accustomed to which may not be in force or may have expired or shall expire in 18 months from Approval Date, shall continue without disruption for the benefit of the Corporate Debtor and the Resolution Applicant for a period of 18 months from Approval Date. xxx N) It may be noted that the Delivery Schedule has been derived assuming that (a) required funds for completion and working capital are available, (b) approvals from the regulatory/ competent authorities are available on time (where required), and (c) Effective Date for all Project(s) is achieved/ construction for all towers starts simultaneously.”
C. Treatment of Other Creditors Some relevant clauses deal with the Joint Venture Partners engaged in the Redevelopment Project: “xxx D) The Project is seized and being developed by Acme, J.P and Keemaya being the Joint Venture Partners were entitled to
Page 36 of 53
20% area share in the Project. However, due to change of regulations and expiry of licenses expected on the Project, other challenges facing the project, it is not viable to give 20% area share to these partners. Further to ensure that the Corporate Debtor does not end up in liquidation and to ensure welfare of the homebuyers and resettlers/ tenants it is essential to rework the consideration to each party such that the project continues to be Viable E).
E) It is proposed that J.P and Keemaya in total shall be given 6% area share in the Project excluding Tower 4 and Tower 5 in consideration of settlement of any and all claims that they may have on the Project.”
- Monitoring Committee:
15.1
The Monitoring Committee shall be formed comprising of 7 (seven)
members, out of which:
a) 2 (two) members shall be the nominees/representatives of the assenting secured financial creditors,
b) 1 (one) member shall be the nominee/ representative of the Homebuyers, c) 3 (three) members shall be nominees/representatives of the Successful Resolution Applicant, and
d) 1 (one) member shall be the Applicant / Resolution Professional/Independent Professional. The Applicant/Resolution Professional shall be the chairman of the Monitoring Committee.
15.2 At present the composition of monitoring committee is balanced with 2 representatives of secured financial creditors and 1 representative of the Homebuyers totalling to 3 representatives of Financial Creditors with equivalent number of representatives of SRA plus Resolution Professional. Perusal of the Form H shows that the two representatives of secured financial creditors are given
Page 37 of 53
an option to resign from the monitoring committee on completion of payment to them as per the plan. Upon their resignation, the strength of the Monitoring Committee would be reduced from 7 (seven) to 5 (five) with 3 (three) of them being the representatives of the SRA, which will make the committee tilted in favour of SRA. Therefore, we direct that as and when the representatives of secured financial creditors resign, equivalent number of representatives of the SRA shall also resign, to keep the composition of monitoring committee balanced and neutral.
-
Appointment of New Board of Directors The exiting directors of the Corporate Debtor shall cease to be directors of the Corporate Debtor. A new Board shall be constituted. The new constituted Board shall constitute 3 (three) Directors (Executive) which shall be nominated by the SRA.
-

18.3 During the hearing on 09.06.2025, this Tribunal had raised query pertaining to the ‘Effective Date’ to which Ld. Counsel for the RP submitted that the ‘Effective Date’ is dependent upon various factors including the settlement terms between the SRA and the Applicant in IA/3846/2024.
18.4 This Tribunal during the hearing on 07.07.2025 sought further clarification in regards to the ‘Effective Date’ pursuant to which the Applicant filed Additional Affidavit dated 11.07.2025 placing on record the Affidavit dated 10.07.2025 submitted by the SRA to the RP.
18.5 The relevant submissions of SRA in the Affidavit dated 10.07.2025 are reproduced below: “3. I say that the delivery schedule of the ongoing projects as stipulated in Annexure B of the Resolution Plan is reproduced herein:

quo. Possession of Land to Corporate Debtor by effective date through approval by Adjudicating Authority is essential as per the terms of Resolution Plan. Continuity of licenses issued to Corporate Debtor is essential for delivery of the said apartments. xxx 6. I further state that the SRA undertakes not to extend the Effective Date beyond 6 (Six) months from the date of approval of the Resolution Plan by the Hon’ble Adjudicating Authority for delivery of the flats to home buyers as referred to in Annexure B of the Resolution Plan. The SRA understands the gravity of the issue at hand and undertakes to obtain all relevant permissions from the required authorities for the time being in force during this period of 6 (Six) months.”
18.6 We note that the Effective Date is relevant when it comes to construction of the flats to be handed over to the homebuyers. The Effective Date is not defined precisely and is contingent upon two conditions, one being the extinguishment of litigations and secondly, the transfer of control of Corporate Debtor to the SRA.
18.7 In Para 15 of this order, the pending IAs objecting the resolution plan has been dealt with and disposed of. In view thereof, the list of pending litigations as stated in Clause 14 of Form H stand extinguished. Therefore, one of the two conditions has been satisfied.
18.8 The second condition is transfer of the control of the Corporate Debtor to the SRA. It is an implied fact that once this Adjudicating Authority approves the resolution plan, the control and management of the Corporate Debtor stands transferred to the SRA. However, what we further note is that the Effective Date is subject to requisite approvals from competent authorities which the SRA has undertaken to take within 6 (six) months from the
Page 47 of 53
date of Plan approval order. The said undertaking shall form an integral part of the Resolution Plan.
- Unconditional Plan 19.1 The only contingency that could be foreseen in the present case, is the delivery of flats to the homebuyers which is proposed to be done within 18 months from the effective date. However, the Effective Date is subject to requisite approvals from appropriate authorities. The SRA vide Affidavit dated 10.07.2025 has undertaken to obtain the approvals within 6 months from the Approval Date i.e. date of Plan Approval order.
19.2 It is appropriate to mention here that the RP, in clause 16 of the Form H, has stated that the Resolution Plan is not subject to any contingency or conditionality. Further, during the course of hearing on 07.07.2025, Ld. Counsel for both the RP as well as the SRA, submitted that the plan is absolute and unconditional.
19.3 Further, it is also stated by the SRA that “…the Resolution Plan submitted by the SRA is unconditional and irrevocable.” Hence, we are of the view that the requisite approvals are not conditions precedent for approval of the Resolution Plan but only procedural requirements.
19.4 We are conscious that the Corporate Debtor is a real estate company, the resolution of which will offer flats to the home buyers who would be benefitted by the approval of this Plan. We also note that no objection/representation has been received from the homebuyers with respect to their treatment under the resolution plan. In fact, the homebuyers have approved the resolution plan.
- The submissions of the Ld. Counsel for RP and SRA as well as all other concerned parties, were heard at length and after a careful analysis of the same together with the material placed on record including the Form-H, it is seen that the Resolution Plan is in compliance with the mandatory compliances as stipulated under Section 30(2) of the Code. The Resolution
Page 48 of 53
Plan also meets the requirements of Regulations 37, 38, 38(1A) and 39 (4) of the IBBI 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.
Summary of the resolution plan
- In summary, the key/significant features of the Resolution Plan are enlisted hereinbelow: (a) The CoC consists of 2 (two) secured financial creditors, namely, HDFC Capital Affordable Real Estate Fund- I and HDFC Bank Limited; and unsecured financial creditors in a class being the Homebuyers.
(b) The CoC has approved the Resolution Plan with 100% votes.

(e) The Homebuyers shall be given their respective flats within a period of 18 months from the Effective Date.

In K Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & Others (2019) 12 SCC 150, 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.
-
In Committee of Creditors of Essar Steel India Limited through Authorised Signatory Vs. Satish Kumar Gupta & Ors (2020) 8 SCC 531, the Hon’ble Apex Court clearly laid down that the Adjudicating Authority would not have power to modify the Resolution Plan which the CoC in their commercial wisdom has approved.
-
In view of the law laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court, the commercial wisdom of the COC is to be given paramount importance for approval / rejection of the resolution plan. As the Resolution Plan meets the requirements of the I & B Code and the IBBI Regulations, the same needs to be approved.
