The Liquidator was appointed by the Tribunal in a case filed by a Financial Creditor against the Corporate Debtor. The Liquidator initiated the liquidation process by making a public announcement for claim submissions. Workmen/employees of the Corporate Debtor approached the High Court, leading to a stay on the liquidation process, which was vacated later. The Liquidator cited the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the High Court's directions as reasons for the delay in the liquidation process.The Liquidator explained the delay in the liquidation process in a detailed report, mentioning the High Court stay and the impact of lockdown measures on his ability to carry out duties. An 'E' Auction conducted on September 30, 2020, did not receive bids for certain assets, partly due to a demonstration by workmen/employees in front of the factory. The Liquidator complied with Regulation 44(2) by providing a report explaining the delay and the additional time required for liquidation, seeking directions from the Tribunal to exclude the lockdown period from the calculation of the one-year timeline for liquidation.After considering the submissions, the Tribunal permitted the Liquidator to continue with the liquidation process. The Tribunal also excluded the period from February 20, 2020, to November 30, 2020, from the calculation of 365 days as provided in Regulation 44 of IBBI (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016. The Tribunal disposed of the Miscellaneous Application accordingly on November 3, 2020, granting the requested reliefs to the Liquidator.
