Corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) - claims filed under a CIRP by "decree holder" - Once admitted as a creditor, the efforts must be to preserve and maximise the assets of a corporate debtor. The resolution professional cannot look behind the decree.

The same cannot be stated to be discriminatory or arbitrary. - HC
