Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The Adjudicating Authority granted a liquidation order for Corporate Debtor, M/s. Ashok Magnetics Limited, as no approved Resolution Plan was in place within the specified timeline. The Authority also extended the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) period by 90 days, which expired, leading to the initiation of liquidation proceedings. Despite two qualified Resolution Applicants submitting plans, the Committee of Creditors rejected them, citing low offers and undervaluation of assets. The Authority appointed the Resolution Professional as the Company Liquidator, authorizing them to manage the liquidation process and dispose of assets in compliance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
Issues: 1. Liquidation order sought by Resolution Professional under Sections 33(1)(a) and 34(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. 2.

Liquidation process and appointment of Company Liquidator. 5. Powers and duties of the Company Liquidator.

Ashok Magnetics Limited, as the Resolution Plans submitted were not approved by the CoCs within the stipulated time frame.

2. The Resolution Professional, based on the CoCs' recommendation, requested an extension of the CIRP period beyond 180 days. The Authority granted a 90-day extension, which expired on 01.06.2018, leading to the initiation of liquidation proceedings as per Section 33(1)(a) of the Code.
3. The Resolution Plans submitted by two qualified Resolution Applicants were not accepted by the CoCs due to low offers, undervaluation of assets, and a commercial decision. As no Resolution Plan was approved within the specified timeline, the liquidation process was initiated as per Section 33(1)(a) of the Code.
4. The Adjudicating Authority ordered the liquidation of the Corporate Debtor, appointed the Resolution Professional as the Company Liquidator, and directed the cessation of moratorium under Section 14 of the Code. The Liquidator was authorized to manage the affairs of the Corporate Debtor, and the personnel were instructed to cooperate during the liquidation process.
