Issues: Whether the Corporate Debtor was liable to be ordered into liquidation under section 33 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 on the failure of a feasible resolution plan and the decision of the Committee of Creditors.
Analysis: The application was moved by the Resolution Professional after the Committee of Creditors declined to approve the promoters' proposal and resolved to liquidate the Corporate Debtor. The record showed that the resolution process had not yielded a viable revival plan and that the CoC had taken a considered commercial decision to seek liquidation. In these circumstances, the Adjudicating Authority exercised its power under section 33(1)(a) of the Code and directed liquidation. Consequential directions were issued regarding cessation of moratorium, vesting of powers in the Liquidator, restriction on suits, assistance by personnel, fee of the Liquidator, and submission of progress reports in terms of the liquidation regulations.
Conclusion: The Corporate Debtor was ordered to be liquidated, and the Resolution Professional was appointed as Liquidator.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the Committee of Creditors resolves that no feasible resolution plan exists and seeks liquidation, the Adjudicating Authority may order liquidation under section 33(1)(a) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and issue all consequential directions necessary for the liquidation process.
