HC dismissed the petition and upheld the Disciplinary Committee's order suspending the IP's registration for two years (effective 16.09.2022) and directing refund of half the fees paid to a related professional firm. The HC affirmed findings that the IP engaged a related party improperly, failed to file an avoidance application in breach of Regulation 35A, and caused payment of excessive fees contrary to the Liquidation Regulations.

Relief sought by the IP was refused.
