Issues:
1. Intervention in the liquidation order by a financial creditor.
2. Feasibility of the consolidated corporate insolvency resolution process.
3. Allegations of delay and obstruction in the liquidation process.
4. Dispute regarding the necessity of the petitioner's presence in the appeal.

Analysis:
1. The petitioner, a financial creditor, sought to intervene in the liquidation order of the corporate debtor. The petitioner argued that the commercial decision of the Committee of Creditors to liquidate the debtor should not be subject to judicial review. The petitioner also highlighted that the debtor's MSME status was obtained after the insolvency application was filed. The petitioner contended that the liquidation process was in the best interest of all stakeholders.

2. The petitioner argued that the consolidated corporate insolvency resolution process was not feasible or beneficial for the debtor or its stakeholders. The petitioner emphasized that the continuation of the liquidation process was essential for asset maximization and stakeholder interests.

3. The respondent, opposing the petitioner's intervention, alleged that the petitioner's claims were fully admitted by the liquidator, making their presence unnecessary in the appeal. The respondent also raised concerns about delays caused by the petitioner's actions and disputed the petitioner's role in the proceedings.

4. After considering the arguments from both sides, the Tribunal concluded that the petitioner's intervention was not necessary or proper in the appeal. The Tribunal noted that the petitioner's claim had been admitted by the liquidator and that the petitioner's presence as a respondent was not required for the appeal's disposal. Therefore, the Tribunal dismissed the petitioner's intervention application, finding it lacking in merit.

In conclusion, the Tribunal dismissed the intervention application of the petitioner in the liquidation order appeal, stating that the petitioner's presence was not essential for the appeal's resolution.
