Issues: Whether the corporate debtor was liable to be ordered into liquidation under Section 33(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, in the absence of any resolution plan and in view of the Committee of Creditors' decision to liquidate.
Analysis: The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process had been admitted and commenced, the Committee of Creditors had been constituted, and no resolution plan was received within the prescribed period. The Committee of Creditors resolved to liquidate the corporate debtor, noting the absence of assets and business prospects. In such circumstances, the statutory conditions for liquidation under the insolvency code stood satisfied, and the liquidation process was required to follow Chapter III of Part II of the Code. Consequential directions regarding appointment of the liquidator, cessation of moratorium, restrictions on proceedings, and transfer of powers to the liquidator were also issued in accordance with the Code and the liquidation regulations.
Conclusion: Liquidation of the corporate debtor was ordered and the application was allowed.
Final Conclusion: The corporate insolvency resolution process ended in liquidation, with the resolution professional appointed as liquidator and the statutory consequences of liquidation brought into effect.
Ratio Decidendi: Where no resolution plan is received within the CIRP period and the Committee of Creditors resolves to liquidate, the adjudicating authority must order liquidation under Section 33(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
