Specifically, the Plan does not address whether the lessee of the said premises will continue to deposit the lease/rental amount following the outcome of the Appeal. Accordingly, the Resolution Professional (RP) was directed to take note of this issue by convening a CoC meeting with the participation of the SRA and resolution to that effect may be filed clarifying with respect to utilisation of the lease/rental amount being deposited by the lessee for
