Suspended directors are entitled to meaningful participation in CIRP and may challenge an approved resolution plan, but non-supply of plan materials does not invalidate approval absent a confidentiality undertaking, specific objection, or material prejudice. A practising Chartered Accountant is not ineligible to submit a plan solely because of professional status. CIRP may be withdrawn after admission only through the prescribed approval and statutory withdrawal process; an uncompleted settlement or part-payment cannot halt it. The CoC may assess viability, feasibility and implementation rather than accept the highest post-closure offer. Government claims omitted from an approved plan are extinguished, and statutory dues do not generally rank with secured financial creditors without an express charge. General allegations against the Resolution Professional did not establish material irregularity. The resolution-plan approval was affirmed and the appeals dismissed.
