Appeal Dismissed: Claim Rejected as Financial Debt for Missing IBBI Timelines; Tribunal Supports Adjudicating Authority Decision.
The Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeal against the rejection of a claim as a Financial Debt under Section 5(8) of the Code. The Appellant's claim was filed after the approval of the Resolution Plan by the Committee of Creditors on March 30, 2021, which contravened the prescribed timelines under the IBBI Regulations. The Tribunal upheld the Adjudicating Authority's decision, emphasizing that entertaining claims post-approval would disrupt the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. The Tribunal found no error in the rejection, as the claim was not reflected in the Corporate Debtor's records, aligning with a recent SC judgment.
Issues Involved: - Appeal against the rejection of a claim as a Financial Debt under Section 5(8) of the Code.
Summary: The Appellate Tribunal heard an appeal against the rejection of a claim as a Financial Debt under Section 5(8) of the Code by the Adjudicating Authority. The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Corporate Debtor commenced on December 31, 2019. The Appellant failed to file the claim within the specified timeline, and a Resolution Plan was approved by the Committee of Creditors on March 30, 2021. The Appellant filed its claim after the plan approval, leading to the rejection of the claim by the Adjudicating Authority.
The Adjudicating Authority observed that the claim was filed after the approval of the Resolution Plan, which is not in accordance with the timelines prescribed under the IBBI Regulations. Citing a Supreme Court judgment, it was emphasized that claims cannot be entertained after the approval of the plan as it would disrupt the resolution process. The Adjudicating Authority concluded that admitting the claim at that stage would jeopardize the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.
The Appellant argued that since the Resolution plan approval was pending before the Adjudicating Authority, the claim should be considered. However, the Tribunal noted a recent Supreme Court judgment stating that claims cannot be entertained post-approval of the plan by the Committee of Creditors. The Tribunal found no error in the Adjudicating Authority's decision to reject the claim and dismissed the appeal, stating that the claim was not reflected in the records of the Corporate Debtor.
