The NCLAT held that GIDC's termination of lease during the moratorium period was clearly prohibited under Section 14(1) of the IBC. The Tribunal ruled that NCLT had jurisdiction under Section 60(5)(c) to entertain the Resolution Professional's application challenging such termination, and erred in directing the RP to approach GIDC's Appellate Authority instead. Additionally, NCLAT determined that the Adjudicating Authority improperly remanded the Resolution Plan to the Committee of Creditors without identifying any non-compliance with Section 30(2) of the IBC. The Supreme Court precedent allows remand only when specific violations of Section 30(2) are found. The appeal was allowed, reversing both the jurisdictional finding and the improper remand of the Resolution Plan.
