2. Application for change of Resolution Professional as Liquidator under Section 60(5) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

Issue 1: Liquidation of Shree Ganesh Stampings Private Limited

The Tribunal considered an application filed by the Resolution Professional seeking the liquidation of Shree Ganesh Stampings Private Limited under Sections 33(1)(a) and 34(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) was initiated against the Corporate Debtor, and the Resolution Professional was appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional. The Committee of Creditors (CoC) decided to liquidate the Corporate Debtor in a meeting with 100% voting in favor of liquidation. The Resolution Plan submitted by a Promoter was rejected, leading to the decision for liquidation. The Tribunal, relying on the commercial wisdom of the CoC, approved the liquidation and appointed the Resolution Professional as the Liquidator. The Liquidator was granted powers as per the Code and directed to follow the liquidation process regulations. The Tribunal allowed the application for liquidation and appointed the Resolution Professional as the Liquidator.

Issue 2: Application for Change of Resolution Professional as Liquidator

Another application was filed under Section 60(5) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, seeking a change of the Resolution Professional as the Liquidator. The Applicant raised concerns about the satisfactory completion of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process and requested the appointment of a new Liquidator. The Resolution Professional did not object to the appointment of another person as Liquidator. However, the Tribunal found that the provisions of Section 34(4) were mandatory, and as the CoC did not provide reasons in writing for the replacement of the Resolution Professional, another Liquidator could not be appointed. Consequently, the application for a change of Liquidator was rejected by the Tribunal.

This comprehensive analysis of the judgment highlights the key issues addressed by the Tribunal concerning the liquidation of Shree Ganesh Stampings Private Limited and the application for changing the Resolution Professional as the Liquidator. The Tribunal's decisions were based on the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, and the actions taken by the CoC in the respective matters.
