Estoppel by acceptance of payment prevents appellants who unconditionally accepted amounts under the approved resolution plan from belatedly challenging the plan or prior partial rejection of their claims; those appellants are estopped and their appeals dismissed. Claims not substantiated by the proof mandated under Regulation 19 and Schedule II (Form E/Form F and supporting material) were rightly partially rejected by the Liquidator and cannot be reopened on appeal. Judicial interference with a resolution plan approved by 100% of the CoC is very limited; the plan's provision for priority payment of statutory employee dues (EPF, gratuity, earned leave) and enforcement mechanisms was held adequate, directing the RP and applicant to ensure remittance.
