Issues: Application for liquidation of a Corporate Debtor under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Analysis: 1. Background and Initiation of CIRP: The case involves an application filed by the Resolution Professional (RP) for a Corporate Debtor under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) as per the order dated 14.05.2018. The original petition under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 was filed by the Financial Creditor, leading to the admission of the petition and appointment of the RP.
2. Meetings of the CoC and Lack of Resolution Plan: The application detailed the meetings of the Committee of Creditors (CoC) where it was highlighted that the Corporate Debtor had no office, directors, staff, or records. The CoC was informed that no viable Corporate Resolution Plan could be developed, leading to a proposal for liquidation which was unanimously approved. The RP received only one claim from the Financial Creditor, amounting to Rs. 188,91,41,501.
3. RP's Recommendations and Valuation Reports: The RP informed about the expenses incurred during the CIRP and the appointment of Registered Valuers to determine the fair value and liquidation value of the Corporate Debtor.
