Issues Involved:
1. Insurance coverage during Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.

Analysis:
The judgment revolves around the issue of insurance coverage for a Corporate Debtor, M/s. Kei-Rsos Maritime Limited, during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. The Appellant, an agent of Ship Owners Protection Limited, London (SOPL), an insurance company, had insured the Corporate Debtor involved in single point mooring operations with oil refineries. The Adjudicating Authority rightly ordered the Insurer to continue with the insurance coverage during the insolvency process, ensuring that any payable amounts to the Insurer would be managed by the Interim Resolution Professional. The judgment emphasizes the importance of maintaining insurance coverage for the Corporate Debtor to continue as a going concern during the insolvency proceedings, safeguarding the interests of all parties involved. The dismissal of the appeal signifies the affirmation of the Adjudicating Authority's decision, highlighting the lack of merit in challenging the continuation of insurance coverage. The judgment ultimately upholds the necessity of ensuring the protection and continuity of essential services and operations, such as those provided by the Corporate Debtor in this case, even amidst insolvency proceedings.
