Reference to relevant Regulation Requirement How dealt with in the Resolution Plan 23.05.2025.
The Successful Resolution Applicant has submitted an Affidavit under Section 29A of IBC, 2016 read with Regulation 38(3) of CIRP Regulations to the Resolution Professional Resolution and the same is Placed in the page 128 of the plan Application. 12. FINDINGS OF THE TRIBUNAL 12.1 Heard the counsel for the parties and perused the documents on record. 12.2 It is seen from Form H filed along with the Application that the Fair value of the Corporate Debtor is estimated to be Rs 2,07,65,100/- (2.08 crores) and the Liquidation value has been estimated to be 1,76,07,603/-(1.76 crores) The Resolution Plan value is Rs. 50 crores. It is also seen in the Form H that there are PUFE applications pending and in Form H the details of realisation and dealing with the Applications, it is directed that Avoidance Applications filed by the Resolution Professional and pending before this Adjudicating Authority be continued by the Resolution Applicant, upon the approval of the Resolution Plan. 12.3 In so far as the approval of the Resolution Plan is concerned, this Tribunal is relying on Judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar –Vs– Indian Overseas Bank (2019) 12 SCC 150, wherein in para 19 and 62 it is held as under.
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 20 of 39
“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).
………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.”
12.4 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 2019at 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 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). 12.5 The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank and Ors. (2019) 12 SCC 150 has lucidly delineated the scope
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 21 of 39
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 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.
- 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
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 22 of 39
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.”
(emphasis supplied)
12.6 Also, 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
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)
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 23 of 39
12.7 The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its recent decision in Jaypee Kensington
Boulevard Apartments Welfare Association &Ors. v. NBCC (India) Ltd.
&Ors.inCivil 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.
- 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,
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 24 of 39
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 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
- 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.” 12.8 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
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 25 of 39
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.
12.9
In the instant case, the Resolution Plan has been approved with 87.79
voting share. As per the CoC, the plan meets the requirement of being viable
and feasible for the revival of the Corporate Debtor. All the compliances
have been done by the RP and the Resolution Applicant, for making the plan
effective after approval by this Bench.
12.10 On perusal of the documents on record, we are also satisfied that the
Resolution Plan is in accordance with sections 30 and 31 of the IBC and also
complies with regulations 38 and 39 of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution
Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016.
12.11 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.
12.12 The Resolution Applicant has sought for specific reliefs and other
concessions under the Resolution Plan and the same are dealt with
hereunder.
Specific Relief sought 1.
The Corporate Debtor has created an encumbrances / interest on the
units/UDS under M One Project by the Corporate Debtor, across 85
Agreements of Sale /Construction Agreements, as detailed in Specific Relief -
Annexure 1, out of which 66 Agreements for Sale ("AFS") has been registered
in favour of different parties by paying a sum of Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 10 Lakh.
Also 19 Construction Agreement has been registered. The total consideration
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 26 of 39
amount mentioned against these agreements also do not represent the
market/transaction value of the units/UDS. No claims have been submitted/
admitted as home buyers against these encumbrances/interests created as of
date with reference to the units/UDS. However, these encumbrances created
by registering the sale agreement/Construction agreement consumed the
availability of UDS which otherwise had to be transferred in favour of the
genuine home buyer. Unless these agreements were cancelled, the genuine
home buyers who are still unregistered cannot get their UDS registered and
thus cannot have effective title documents. Therefore, Resolution Applicant
seeks specific relief for cancellation of such transfers, encumbrances, or
interests created with malicious intentions. Upon the cancellation of the
aforementioned documents more specifically mentioned in Specific Relief -
Annexure 1, the title to such apartments and the UDS shall continue to
legally vest in the M One Project of the Corporate Debtor, free from any
liability or obligation to the Resolution Applicant, in order to convey the title
deed documents in favour of the genuine home buyers.
Relief Granted 1

Relief granted 3. The claims in respect of these 2 apartments having not been filed by the Suspended Directors with the Resolution Professional, stands extinguished in terms of the clean slate doctrine. Charge if any of LIC Housing Finance Ltd over the apartments shall stand extinguished/released. Relief sought 4. Landowner and Developer (CD) agreed to enter into a Joint Development Agreement build and promote Project Mone. In terms of the said Agreement, the landowners were entitled to 29603.92 sq ft of UDS and 129450 Sq.ft. (i.e., 116450 Sq.ft. of normal FSI and 13000 Sq.ft. of Premium FSI) or thereabouts of super built up area, from the development of the project.
In furtherance to the JDA, a general power of attorney was entered, between the Corporate Debtor and the Landowners, which came to be registered vide Doc No. 7360/2014, at the office of the Sub-Registrar, Madhavaram, in Book 1. By virtue of the General Power of Attorney, the Landowners had authorized the Corporate Debtor to do all the acts, deeds and things pertaining to the Property on behalf of the Landowners.
Thereafter, supplementary agreements were entered to identify the apartments that are entitled to be the share of Landowner and the Developer. Further, Mou also entered between the Landowner and developer giving away the right to the Developer to market the share of flats belonging to the Landowner.
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 29 of 39
In furtherance to all the above agreements, a Business Agreement was executed between the Landowners and the Land Developer on 14.12.2020. As per the terms of the Business Agreement, the Land Developer (Corporate Debtor) had agreed to purchase the flats having a saleable area of an extent of 1,25,410 square feet along with the corresponding UDS at an all-inclusive price of Rs. 4,200/- per square feet. Out of the said collections, it was agreed in the agreement that 60% of the collections will be apportioned to the Land Developer and 40% will be apportioned to the Landowners. The MOU entered earlier stands terminated on entering into this business agreement. The Developer had been assigned with the right to market & sell the flats along with the corresponding undivided share of land at their convenience and the Landowner agreed not to intervene in any manner either directly or indirectly. Based on the right conferred on the Developer in such Business Agreement, the Developer (CD) has marketed and sold the units falling under the share of Landowner. Thus, the home buyers who have been allotted the flats belonging to the landowner's share have complete right to get their units registered and both Developer and Landowner are bound to convey the title deed in favor of the genuine homer buyers. However, due to payment disputes between the Landowners and the Developer, the Landowner abruptly executed the settlement deed in the favor of their daughters to the extent of Undivided Shares ("UDS") of 9304.53 Sq. Ft. as per list enclosed Specific Relief Annexure 4, by blocking further registration in favor of the genuine home buyers. Therefore, Resolution Applicant seeks cancellation of the said document and release of the UDS admeasuring 9304.53 sq.ft and such UDS will vest in the M One Project of the Corporate Debtor without any liability/obligation to the Resolution Applicant to be able to convey the title documents in favour of genuine homer buyers. Relief granted 4. The relief is granted in terms of the arrangement entered into by the Successful Resolution Applicants with the Land Owners and as agreed by them in full, the same being captured under Clause 23.2.1 of the Amended
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 30 of 39
Plan dated 23-May-2025 and this Tribunal directs the Land Owners to execute the deeds cancellation as undertaken by them in pursuance thereof so as to vest the UDS of 9304.53 Sq Ft land with the M One Project of the Corporate Debtor." Relief sought 5. Section 30(2)(b)(ii) of the IBC stipulates that a dissenting financial creditor should not receive an amount lower than the liquidation value. The Resolution Applicant that the liquidation value to be received by the Secured Creditor is NIL in case the corporate debtor was to be liquidated. LIC Housing Finance Ltd claims that they have charge on 14 units as detailed in Specific Relief Annexure 5. However, such claim is incorrect as 7 of such units have already been registered in the name of the genuine buyers after received No Lien letter from LIC Housing Finance Ltd., and 6 of such units have already been allotted to Genuine buyers. Therefore, LIC Housing Finance Limited do does not have any effective charge on the units/UDS coupled with the fact that the liquidation value to be received by the Secured Creditor is estimated at NIL Value. Therefore, Resolution Applicant seeks for release of title deed deposited with LIC Housing Finance and discharge of all such interest created in the land share (UDS) and the units of M One Project and necessary satisfaction of charge to be filed with Registrar of Companies/SRO. Relief granted 5. The relief of release of the registered security interest over these 14 apartments is granted in terms of the approved Plan and is binding all creditors. It is also clarified that LIC Housing Finance Ltd being a dissenting financial creditor the due payable to them shall be paid by the Resolution Applicant in accordance with Section 53(1) of the Code read with Regulation 38(1)(b) of the IBBI CIRP Regulations 2016 as provided in Clause 18.6 of the Resolution Plan.
In the matter of Lokaa Developer Pvt Ltd Page 31 of 39
Relief sought 6.
In the Information Memorandum, Resolution Professional has informed that
as per the books of accounts available up to the Financial Year 2022, there are
double bookings/triple bookings for many of the flats. The status of such
bookings is not known since the books of accounts are not updated by the
Corporate Debtor after 31.03.2022. However, only 4 claims have been
received under the double-booking category till 30th September 2024. On
enquiry, it appears that Promoters had involved his related entities/third
parties/ employees to raise money for their benefits involving Financial
Institutions also. While the status of such bookings appears to be bogus, the
Resolution Applicant seeks relief to cancel all such bookings without any
liabilities/obligations on the Corporate Debtor and the Resolution Applicant
and acknowledge the list of homebuyers provided by the CD to the NCLT as
the final list of buyers. This list of such double/triple bookings are appended
as Specific Relief Annexure 6.
Relief granted 6.
The claims in respect of all these transactions involving unregistered
documents, that have not been filed with the Resolution Professional,
stands extinguished in terms of the clean slate doctrine.
In relation to the relief sought for cancellation of the documents
pertaining to 15 apartments (Serial No 15,21 to 34, it is observed that
the same is covered under the Special Relief Nos 2 & 3 hereinabove.
