The Tribunal, considering the circumstances, ordered the dissolution of the Corporate Debtor under section 54 of the Code.Issue 2: Liquidation process and insufficient assets to cover costsThe Liquidator reported that the Corporate Debtor's only available asset, a commercial vehicle, could not cover the incurred Liquidation Process Cost. Additionally, no other liquid saleable asset was identified, indicating the inadequacy of realizable properties to cover liquidation expenses. The Liquidator sought direction for the payment of fees and costs by Indian Bank, confirmed in the 8th Committee of Creditors (CoC) meeting. The Tribunal directed the CoC to pay the approved fees and costs to the Liquidator, emphasizing the financial challenges faced during the liquidation process.Issue 3: Payment of fees and costs to the LiquidatorThe Liquidator highlighted the pending payment of fees and costs by Indian Bank, as confirmed in the 8th CoC meeting.
