Issues: Whether an application seeking replacement of the Resolution Professional is maintainable without a supporting resolution of the Committee of Creditors under sections 22(2) or 27(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Analysis: The application was founded on allegations against the Resolution Professional and on the applicant's earlier voting strength, but no resolution of the Committee of Creditors had been passed authorising replacement. The voting share had also changed after reconstitution of the Committee of Creditors, and the correctness of such reconstitution was not examined in this proceeding. The objection regarding alleged fraud, limitation, and other challenges to the claim admitted by the Resolution Professional were held to be irrelevant to an application confined to replacement under sections 22(2) and 27(2). The statutory scheme required the requisite Committee of Creditors decision before such relief could be entertained.
Conclusion: The application for replacement of the Resolution Professional was not maintainable and was liable to be dismissed.
Ratio Decidendi: Replacement of a Resolution Professional under sections 22(2) and 27(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 cannot be ordered in the absence of a valid resolution of the Committee of Creditors supporting such replacement.
