Issues: (i) Whether the Adjudicating Authority could interfere with the Committee of Creditors' 100% decision to liquidate the corporate debtor and permit late prospective resolution applicants to file or pursue a resolution plan; (ii) Whether, in view of the liquidation decision, the corporate debtor was liable to be ordered into liquidation and the resolution professional appointed as liquidator.
Issue (i): Whether the Adjudicating Authority could interfere with the Committee of Creditors' 100% decision to liquidate the corporate debtor and permit late prospective resolution applicants to file or pursue a resolution plan?
Analysis: The record showed that the last date for EOI had expired, earlier interested applicants had withdrawn, the CoC had repeatedly considered the matter, and ultimately resolved by 100% vote to liquidate. The reasoning proceeded on the principle that the commercial wisdom of the CoC is not open to interference by the Adjudicating Authority so long as the decision is in conformity with the Code and Regulations. In that framework, the late requests to submit a resolution plan did not displace the CoC's concluded commercial decision.
Conclusion: The request to interfere with the liquidation decision and to permit late submission/consideration of a resolution plan was rejected.
Issue (ii): Whether, in view of the liquidation decision, the corporate debtor was liable to be ordered into liquidation and the resolution professional appointed as liquidator?
Analysis: Once the CoC's liquidation resolution stood confirmed and no sustainable basis remained to defer the process, the application seeking liquidation could be allowed. The order also followed the statutory scheme under the insolvency framework for commencement of liquidation and appointment of the liquidator, with ancillary directions for conduct of liquidation, cessation of board powers, and related statutory notices.
Conclusion: The corporate debtor was ordered to be liquidated and the resolution professional was appointed as liquidator.
Final Conclusion: The challenge to the CoC's liquidation decision failed, the late-entry resolution plan applications were dismissed, and the insolvency process moved into liquidation with the resolution professional taking charge as liquidator.
Ratio Decidendi: The commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors in deciding liquidation, when taken in accordance with the Code and Regulations, is non-justiciable and cannot be displaced by belated attempts to introduce a resolution plan.
