  2. Analysis & Findings i. This Adjudicating Authority notes that the Resolution Plan was submitted by the Successful Resolution Applicant namely Mr. Vivek Gupta dated 19.07.2024 and 22.07.2024 (adjourned meeting) and voting results declared on 03.08.2024 by 66.89% voting share in respect of the CIRP of the Avalon Rosewood Project- A Unit of Corporate Debtor under Section 30(4) of the IBC and no provision of the IBC has been contravened.

ii. The Regulation 31A (1) of CIRP Regulations provides as under: “31A. Regulatory Fee (1) A regulatory fee calculated at the rate of 0.25 per cent of the realisable value to creditors under the resolution plan approved under section 31, shall be payable to the Board, where such realisable value is more than the liquidation value.” In the instant case, the liquidation value is Rs.47.86 crore. The realisable value to the creditors (sole secured FC i.e. LIC Housing Finance) is Rs. 46.36 Crore, hence, no regulatory fee under Regulation 31A of the CIRP regulations is payable. iii. We find that the Resolution Plan meets the requirement of being viable and feasible and for the revival of the Avalon Rosewood Project- A Unit of Corporate Debtor. By and large, there are provisions for making the Plan effective after approval by this Bench. iv. This Adjudicating Authority has relied on the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s decision in the matter of “Vallal RCK vs. M/s. Siva Industries and Holdings Limited and Others, Civil Appeal Nos. 1811­1812 of 2022” whereby the Hon’ble Apex Court has answered the question as to whether ‘the adjudicating authority (NCLT) or the appellate authority (NCLAT) can sit in an appeal over the commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors (“CoC”) or not’. We have relied upon the following paragraphs:
“21. This Court has consistently held that the commercial wisdom of the CoC has been given paramount status without any judicial intervention for ensuring the completion of the stated processes within the timelines prescribed by the IBC. It has been held that there is an intrinsic assumption that Financial Creditors are fully informed about the viability of the Corporate Debtor and the feasibility of the proposed resolution plan. They act on the basis of thorough examination of the proposed Resolution Plan and assessment made by their team of experts.” A reference in this respect could be made to the judgments of this Court in the cases of “K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank and

Page 19 of 23

Others, Committee of Creditors of Essar Steel India Limited through Authorised Signatory v. Satish Kumar Gupta and Others, Maharashtra Seamless Limited v. Padmanabhan Venkatesh and Others, Kalpraj Dharamshi and Another v. Kotak Investment Advisors Limited and Another and Jaypee Kensington Boulevard Apartments Welfare Association and Others v. NBCC (India) Limited and Others. 27. This Court has, time and again, emphasized the need or minimal judicial interference by the NCLAT and NCLT in the framework of IBC. We may refer to the recent observation of this Court made in the case of Arun Kumar Jagatramka v. Jindal Steel and Power Limited and Another: …. “95. However, we do take this opportunity to offer a note of caution for NCLT and NCLAT, functioning as the adjudicatory authority and appellate authority under the IBC respectively, from judicially interfering in the framework envisaged under the IBC. As we have noted earlier in the judgment, the IBC was introduced in order to overhaul the insolvency and bankruptcy regime in India. As such, it is a carefully considered and well thought out piece of legislation which sought to shed away the practices of the past. The Legislature has also been working hard to ensure that the efficacy of this legislation remains robust by constantly amending it based on its experience. Consequently, the need for judicial intervention or innovation from NCLT and NCLAT should be kept at its bare minimum and should not disturb the foundational principles of the IBC” v. In light of the above-quoted judgements, it is clear that the “Commercial wisdom of CoC” is given paramount status. This Adjudicating Authority is not endowed with the powers of jurisdiction or authority to analyse or evaluate the commercial decision of the CoC.

vi. The Resolution Plan has been submitted by Mr. Vivek Gupta which was approved by the CoC in its 14th meeting dated 19.07.2024 and 22.07.2024 (adjourned meeting) and voting results declared on 03.08.2024 by 66.89% voting share in respect of the CIRP of the Avalon Rosewood Project- A Unit of Corporate Debtor after considering its feasibility and viability. vii.
