Resolution Professional's Request Approved: CoC Reconstituted to Include New Creditors Under I&B Code Guidelines.
The Adjudicating Authority allowed the Interim Application (IA) filed by the Resolution Professional (RP), directing the reconstitution of the Committee of Creditors (CoC) to include new Financial Creditors as per the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (I & B Code). The Authority clarified that prior CoC decisions remain valid despite the inclusion of new members, ensuring compliance with the I & B Code. The Resolution Plan remains operative, with the new member allowed to express opinions. The Authority also permitted the exclusion of time spent in litigation from the 270-day Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process, following legal precedents for fair resolution.
Issues involved: 1. Clarification sought by RP regarding previous order 2. Classification of claimants as Financial Creditors 3. Reconstitution of Committee of Creditors (CoC) 4. Validity of decisions taken by CoC 5. Inclusion of new financial creditor in CoC 6. Provision of Resolution Plan to newly appointed member 7. Exemption of period from Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process
Analysis:
1. The RP sought clarification on a previous order directing the update of applicants' claims, preparation of Memorandum of Information, and reconstitution of CoC. The IA was allowed and disposed of based on the RP's opinion that claimants could be classified as Financial Creditors, necessitating CoC reconstitution as per the I & B Code and previous judicial decisions.
2. The Adjudicating Authority directed the RP to treat claimants as Financial Creditors, following the Supreme Court's decision in Swiss Ribbons vs. Union of India and a previous case. The RP was instructed to reconstitute the CoC with the new financial creditor, emphasizing adherence to the I & B Code for CoC reconstitution.
3. Referring to an IBBI circular, the judgment clarified that including a financial creditor in the CoC post-constitution does not invalidate prior CoC decisions. The circular and I & B Code procedures ensure the validity of decisions taken by the CoC, even after the inclusion of a new Financial Creditor.
4. The judgment highlighted that decisions taken by the CoC before including a new Financial Creditor remain valid and binding, as long as they comply with the I & B Code. The Resolution Plan approved by the CoC will continue to be operative, with the newly appointed member given the opportunity to express their opinion on the Plan.
5. The judgment addressed the exemption of certain periods from the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process, citing a Supreme Court case. It allowed the exclusion of time consumed in pending litigations and IA hearings from the 270-day resolution process, ensuring compliance with legal precedents.
6. The IA seeking exemption from counting periods was partly allowed, exempting the time consumed in IA hearings for the resolution process. The judgment emphasized the authority's competence to exclude specific periods, ensuring the fair and effective resolution of the Corporate Debtor company's insolvency.
