CIRP - Fresh claim of Sales Tax Dues after submission of Resolution plan for approval - Time limitation - Appellant / Revenue department has argued that the initiation of CIRP and the public notice inviting claims were not in his knowledge - Any interruption in the CIR Process at this stage by including a delayed claim/s would have meant setting the clock back and sending matter back to COC & RP. It cannot be ruled out that if the claim of the Operational Creditor State Tax Department, Government of Maharashtra was accepted at such a late stage, there could have been other such applicants too, who would have demanded accommodation on the same ground allowing late submission of their claims once this window would have opened. It would be trite to emphasise the fact that this would have meant complete disruption of the CIRP and the timelines stipulated therein.- AT
