Extension of Liquidation Timeline: The Liquidator of a company filed an application seeking an extension of the Liquidation Timeline for another 6 months from a specified date. The Tribunal considered the request in light of the Regulation mandating completion within one year. Due to pending registration processes, unresolved applications, and the impact of Covid-19 lockdown, the Tribunal granted the extension, excluding the lockdown period, and set a new completion date.
Exclusion of Covid-19 lockdown period: The Tribunal referred to the IBBI regulation allowing for the exclusion of lockdown periods from the computation of timelines due to Covid-19.

The Tribunal noted the adherence to these regulations and directed the Liquidator to continue following the model timelines for completing pending tasks within the extended period.

Legal provisions and notifications regarding lockdown exclusion: The Tribunal highlighted the relevant legal provisions and government notifications regarding the exclusion of lockdown periods from the Liquidation timeline due to the Covid-19 pandemic. By considering these regulations and notifications, the Tribunal justified the extension of the Liquidation period and set a new completion date for the process.
