ORDER

A. Miscellaneous Application No. 1509/2019

1. This is an Application filed by an Operational Creditor with respect to rejection of its

claim by the Ld. RP is to be discussed before taking any decision on the Resolution

Plan . This Application was filed on 22.04.2019 by Sarvadnya Industries Pvt. Ltd. (

alleged to be an Operational Creditor), who had entered into a Rent Agreement dated

13.11.2015 with the Corporate Debtor. The Applicant had installed ethanol plant &

machinery in the factory premises of the Corporate Debtor. It is alleged that the

Corporate Debtor has defaulted in payment of rent of aforesaid machinery.

2. At the outset, the RP states that the Applicant has filed the claim in the capacity of a

Financial Creditor, however, the rental dues fall under the category of ‘Operational

Debt’. The Applicant was given ample opportunity to file its claim in the correct form,
 MA 1509/2019 & MA 2104/2019& MA 662/2019
in
CP No.1368/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017

but it failed to do so, and therefore no such claim pertaining to outstanding rentals

persists as on date.

3. Regardless of other contentions of the Operational Creditor, the RP’s submissions are

that one of the Directors of the Operational Creditor i.e. Mr. Anand Narayan Kadam

was a General Manager of the Corporate Debtor at the relevant time, and thus falling

under the head “key managerial personnel” of the Corporate Debtor as stated in

section 5(24)(b) of the I&B Code defining the primary term “Related Party”. Section

5(24)(b) of the I&B Code says that “related party” in relation to a corporate debtor

means:

“(a) …..
(b) a key managerial personnel of the corporate debtor or a relative of a key
managerial personnel of the corporate debtor”.

4. To this contention of RP, it is stated by the Applicant/Operational Creditor that the

Board of directors of the Corporate Debtor had not designated the Director of the

Applicant as a “key managerial personnel” of the Corporate Debtor and hence, is not a

“Related Party” as defined in the Code.

5. The RP also submits that the Corporate Debtor is not in operation for over 2 years. The

electricity supply to the premises of the Corporate Debtor was disconnected much

before the CIRP in respect of the Corporate Debtor commenced. Hence, no activity

was carried out in the premises of the Corporate Debtor with such Plant & Machinery,

and therefore, this outstanding rent cannot be included in the CIRP Cost. The RP has

also submitted that this application has been filed belatedly after the application for

approval of Resolution plan has already been filed before this Tribunal. This

application at such belated stage cannot be entertained and is merely an attempt to stall

the CIRP of the Corporate Debtor. Hence, in the light of RP’s submissions and

considering the fact that the Operational Creditor has not filed its claim before

the RP, as also under the totality of the facts and circumstances, MA 1509 of 2019

is rejected.

B. Miscellaneous Application No. 2104/2019

6. This application also require an adjudication prior to the decision on the Resolution Plan

, submitted for due consideration of this Bench. This application is filed on 11.06.2019

by Swwapnil Bhingardevay (Applicant), the Promoter of the Corporate Debtor seeking

 MA 1509/2019 & MA 2104/2019& MA 662/2019
in
CP No.1368/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017

permission to submit a Resolution plan. It is stated that Applicant had submitted a letter

to the RP conveying that he is interested in submitting a Resolution plan for the

Corporate Debtor. The Applicant states that the Corporate Debtor is classified as

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and the Applicant being its Promoter,

is qualified to submit his resolution plan. An affidavit under section 29A of I&B Code,

2016 is submitted by the Applicant. The applicant also states that he has paid ₹2.5

Lakhs as a Non-refundable participation deposit. Thereafter, at the time of filing the

Resolution plan, the applicant was unable to file the same, due to the demise of the

Applicant’s grandfather and ill-health of his father. Hence, this application to allow

submission of a Resolution Plan.

7. In view of the decision of Hon’ble NCLAT in the matter of Mr. Sharad Sanghi V. Ms.

Vandana Garg & Ors. [Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 461 of 2018], wherein

the Hon’ble Appellate Court had held that CoC once voted in favour of the Resolution

plan, cannot change its views later. Respectfully following the ratio-decidendi , I am

of the view that the Resolution Plan of the Corporate Debtor cannot be entertained by

the coC at such belated stage. Time is the essence of the Code. The main object of the

code is revival of sick companies in a time-bound manner and hence, by allowing this

application I am conscientiously not inclined to set a wrong precedent for the

implementation of the provisions of the Code. The timelines prescribed in the Code

have to be adhered to in order to achieve the object of the Code. The Applicant cannot

be allowed to file the Resolution plan after the completion of 270 days, that too after

the application for approval of Resolution plan has already been filed before this Bench

, as well as , when there is no CoC in existence. The CoC has already taken a decision

in its commercial wisdom, which cannot be changed or altered. Hence, MA 2104/2019

is hereby rejected.

DECISION –

in
CP No.1368/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017

17. In the light of the detailed reproduction of the important portions of the

Resolution Plan, it has been brought to our notice that one of the justifications

for approval of the Resolution Plan is that the Liquidation Value is less

comparing the proposals made in the Resolution Plan. The records of the case

have revealed that the valuers have valued the ‘liquidated value’ at ₹13.53

Crores and the ‘Fair Value’ at Rs. 21.70 Cr. The Resolution Applicant is

bringing in a sum of ₹29.74 Crores to satisfy Financial Debt . It is noticed that

Karad Bank had raised a claim of Rs. 30.27 crore. however only 60% i.e. Rs.

18.16 Cr. And Janklayan Patsanstha had a claim of Rs. 62 lakhs , against that

proposed 60% i.e. Rs. 37 lakhs.

18. Regulation 35 of IBBI (CIRP) Regulations, 2016 prescribes that two registered

valuers be appointed to give the RP an estimate of the fair value and the

liquidation value, respectively assessed at Rs. 21.70 Cr and 13.53 Cr.

19. Further, case records were perused and noticed that the compliances of the

insolvency Code have been fulfilled. The Procedure as prescribed under The

Code is that a Resolution Plan is required to be submitted by a Resolution

Application U/s 30 of The Code. On approval, the Resolution Professional is to

submit U/s 30(6) the Resolution Plan, as approved by the Committee of

Creditors, to the AA. Thereafter, u/s 31, as reproduced supra, AA is to examine

the contents of the Resolution Plan. The mandate of this section is that if the AA

is “satisfied” that the Resolution Plan as approved by the Committee of

Creditors meets the requirement as referred to in section 30(2), shall by an

Order, approve the Resolution Plan. So the prerequisite is that recording of

“satisfaction” by AA is a condition precedent. A “satisfaction” is to be recorded

in writing in the Judgment approving the Resolution Plan. “Satisfaction” is

required to be based upon a conscious decision on examination of the terms of

the Resolution Plan. In our humble opinion a thorough study of a Resolution

Plan is required before recording a “satisfaction” in writing by AA. The

‘satisfaction’ as mandated in the statute can either objective or subjective or

 MA 1509/2019 & MA 2104/2019& MA 662/2019
in
CP No.1368/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017

both, but it is a condition precedent. Naturally ‘satisfaction’ is to be recorded in

writing with reasons after proper application of mind. The pros and cons of the

scheme is required to be studied before recording subjective satisfaction. If the

CoC has submitted the scheme of Resolution after visualising the advantage and

disadvantage then such proposal can be termed as just and equitable fit for

according satisfaction. An ‘objective satisfaction’ revolves around the object of

enactment of the Code as enshrined in the Preamble of the I & B Code i.e. to

revive the financially stressed corporate body. And the ‘subjective satisfaction’

depends upon logical analysis of the Financial Data supplied so as to match with

the business model of the Corporate Debtor. A methodical scrutiny of Financial

Statement is expected before concurring with approval of the CoC. Per contra,

absence of recording of subjective satisfaction may lead to situation that, being

sanctioned without judicial analysis, thus may not be sustainable in the eyes of

law. There are no two views, and must not be, that this I & B Code provides

greater accountability both on the Insolvency Professional, as also on CoC,

mainly comprise of lender Banks. Their approval of a Resolution Plan ought to

be judged with due diligence. To sum up, in our humble interpretation the

recording of an analytical ‘satisfaction’ is a condition precedent before granting

of approval.

20. To sum up the above discussion, the Resolution Plan as approved by the

Committee of Creditors is by and large hereby sanctioned by this Order in view

of the recent judgement of the apex court in K Sashidhar & Indian Overseas Bank &

ors.[Civil Appeal No. 10673/2018], Date of order: 05.02.2019. The Hon’ble

Supreme Court in the said order has made the role of COC quite vital for deciding the

fate of the company. It has been held that the Adjudicating authority is not required to

go into the merits or reasoning of the decision taken by the COC for approval or

rejection of a resolution plan. The only benchmark which is set up to be determined

by the AA is to see whether the plan has been approved by 75% voting of the COC
 MA 1509/2019 & MA 2104/2019& MA 662/2019
in
CP No.1368/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017

or not. Therefore, the commercial wisdom is not allowed to be interfered with. The

relevant portion of the said judgement is reproduced herein below:

“As aforesaid, upon receipt of a “rejected” resolution plan the adjudicating authority
(NCLT) is not expected to do anything more; but is obligated to initiate liquidation process
under Section 33(1) of the I&B Code. The legislature has not endowed the adjudicating
authority (NCLT) with the jurisdiction or authority to analyse or evaluate the commercial
decision of the CoC muchless to enquire into the justness of the rejection of the resolution
plan by the dissenting financial creditors. From the legislative history and the background
in which the I&B Code has been enacted, it is noticed that a completely new approach has
been adopted for speeding up the recovery of the debt due from the defaulting companies.
In the new approach, there is a calm period followed by a swift resolution process to be
completed within 270 days (outer limit) failing which, initiation of liquidation process has
been made inevitable and mandatory. In the earlier regime, the Corporate debtor could
indefinitely continue to enjoy the protection given under Section 22 of Sick Industrial
Companies Act, 1985 or under other such enactments which has now been forsaken.
Besides, the commercial wisdom of the CoC has been given paramount status without any
judicial intervention, for ensuring completion of the stated processes within the timelines
prescribed by the I&B Code. There is an intrinsic assumption that financial creditors are
fully informed about the viability of the corporate debtor and 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. The opinion on the subject matter
expressed by them after due deliberations in the CoC meetings through voting, as per
voting shares, is a collective business decision. The legislature, consciously, has not
provided any ground to challenge the “commercial wisdom” of the individual financial
creditors or their collective decision before the adjudicating authority. That is made non-
justiciable”.
21. To conclude, the approval of a Resolution Plan can be accepted U/s 31 (1) IBC

by Adjudicating Authority after considering feasibility and viability recorded by

COC ( refer Sec. 30(4) IBC ) with a 75%/66% voting share consenting for the

said plan. Although because of the latest decision (supra), the scope of any

suggestion or alteration in the impugned resolution plan is limited, however,

it’s effective implementation is to be ascertained ( refer Proviso to Sec 31(1)

IBC ) before recording satisfaction. As far as the procedure is concerned, in this

case, the same has been followed as per the provisions of the Insolvency Code,

therefore, the Resolution Plan deserves to be approved. The Resolution

Applicant has submitted an affidavit as required U/s 30(1) of the Code

affirming eligibility U/s 29A of the Code.

22. The Resolution Plan is binding on the Corporate Debtor and other stakeholders

involved so that revival of the Debtor Company shall come into force with

immediate effect and the “Moratorium” imposed under section 14 shall cease to

have any effect henceforth. The Resolution Professional shall submit the records

collected during the commencement of the Proceedings to the Insolvency &

Bankruptcy Board of India for their information and also return to the

Resolution Applicant or New Promoters. Certified copy of this Order be issued

on demand to the concerned parties, upon due compliance.

23. That liberty is hereby granted that if deem fit and legally permissible, can move

Miscellaneous Application if required in connection with any further direction

towards implementation of this Resolution Plan.

24. That in respect of stepping by the New Promoters/Resolution Applicant into the

shoes of the erstwhile Company and taking over the business, the provisions of

Companies Act, 2013 shall be applicable and because of this reason a copy of

this Order is to be submitted in the Office of the Registrar of Companies,

Mumbai.

25. The directions embodied and period of implementation provided hereinabove

shall be effective from the date of receipt of this Order.
