The NCLAT upheld the CoC's resolution authorizing the RP to record the settlement before the NCLT, affirming that the utilization of Rs. 50 crores from commercial shop sales for construction deficits and utilities was appropriate. The Tribunal found no fault with the RP's actions in bringing the settlement on record or with the inclusion of the SRA in the Settlement Agreement, as these were within the CoC's and RP's authority. However, the RP was held to have exceeded authority by obtaining a fresh valuation without CoC or Adjudicating Authority approval, though no dereliction of duty was found. The Tribunal recognized the RP's locus to appeal adverse observations that led to his replacement. Consequently, the adverse findings against the RP in the impugned order were expunged, and the appeal was disposed of accordingly.
