Analysis: 1. The Contempt Petition (CP) 07/2022 was filed to initiate contempt proceedings against the Respondent/Suspended Directors for not complying with the tribunal's order dated 21.10.2021. The Applicant sought the initiation of contempt proceedings and compliance with the tribunal's order. The tribunal noted that the Respondents had not complied with the order to pay a specified amount within two weeks. The RP/Applicant was directed to act as per the order dated 21.10.2021. The tribunal disposed of the present IA accordingly.
2. In IA/2020/2020, the Applicant sought to condone the delay and have the Resolution Professional (RP) admit the claim that was partially rejected as time-barred. The RP had admitted part of the claim but rejected the rest as time-barred. The Applicant requested reconsideration of the rejected claim. The RP opposed, stating that time-barred claims were rightfully rejected. Referring to a previous judgment, the tribunal upheld the RP's decision, stating that the RP had rightly refused to accept the time-barred claims. The IA was dismissed for lacking merit.
3. The dispute over the acceptance of time-barred claims and interest on rejected claims was discussed based on previous judgments. The tribunal cited a specific case where time-barred claims were rejected and upheld by higher authorities. Applying the same principle, the tribunal concluded that the RP's decision to reject the time-barred claims was legal. The tribunal declined to interfere with the RP's decision, stating that there was no illegality in the order dated 21.08.2021. Consequently, the present IA was dismissed for lacking merit.
