Learned Counsel appearing for the RP refuting the submissions of the Appellant submits that development rights were with the CD on the date of commencement of the CIRP. As per the Development Agreement, the CD had made a payment of Rs.39,59,02,029/- and Rs. 2,18,00,000/- to the owners. Under the Development Agreement, it was the obligation of the owners to refund the amount received after forfeiting 10% of the amount within one year. The Agreement having not been complied by the Appellant, it is not open for the Appellant to contend that development rights in favour of the CD has been lost.

The Appellant having admitted the development rights in favour of the CD before Haryana RERA and DTCP, it cannot now claim that development rights were not continued in favour of the CD. After CIRP having commenced, the rights of the CD have to be determined in the CIRP and Adjudicating Authority had every jurisdiction to consider the application filed by the RP. The application filed by the Appellant for excluding the assets from CIRP of the CD has rightly been rejected. Transfer of development rights in favour of Parcella in the year 2022 by Appellant is void and without jurisdiction. 8. Learned Senior Counsel appearing for PAL Garden Allottee Welfare Association submits that the CD has allotted various units to 664 allottees. The allottees have invested their lifelong savings in the project and are waiting for their homes from 2009. Several complaints were filed before the DTCP and Writ Petitions were also filed by the allottees.

The said clause clearly recognizes continuance of development agreement with the Corporate Debtor, ORS and Heritage and right was given to terminate those agreements if PAL, ORS and Heritage failed to provide information and to pay the dues which are paid by Mittal and Seth Groups on their behalf. The above clause leaves no room for doubt that no case was set up by the Mittal and Seth Groups that development agreement has been terminated. Had the development agreement was terminated? There was no question of paying any amount to DTCP and giving liberty to company to terminate the agreement. 21. MoS under heading (G) 'renewal of license' provided steps for renewal of license nos.34, 35 and 36 of 2007. Clause 18 under heading (G) required Mittal Group to submit an application for renewal and pay all charges levelled and payable by PAL, ORS and Heritage for ren....

The above clearly mentioned that Mr. Surender Seth will no longer be the nominated approving authority under the Agreements entered by TFIPL, FAFPL and Mr. Sumit Mittal with PAL, ORS and Heritage and that was only with respect to the change of the approving authority. The above clauses 32 and 35 when read together clearly means that what Seth Group informed that they having cancelled the GPA on 17.06.2009, they are no longer approving authority with regard to contract entered between the owners and PAL. We further noticed that the above clauses of MoS has been made part of the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The Hon'ble Supreme Court after noticing all relevant clauses of the MoS has held as follows:- "We have recorded the settlement in entirety as that has to become a part of the order of this Court and it is so directed.

The department shall be well advised to visit the sites of the project again and decide whether the development works are being carried out in accordance with law. The Local Commissioner of the Authority has pointed out several defects and violations. Those also should be appropriately taken into account. (b) Since the main licensee companies have dis-posed of all the lands of the project to five develop-er companies and they retain no further interest in it, either such an action on the part of the licensee company should have been stopped and prohibited well within time by the Town & Country Planning Department in the year 2008 itself, or now they have to appreciate the ground level realities and decide to bifurcate the license in favour of the five developer companies in the interest of thousands of allottees. Without this bifurcation of license nothing can move further. (c) Bifurcation of the license in favour of five devel-oper companies would logically lead to separate determination of the liabilities of each of the developer companies to....

Further, common facilities like schools, dispensary, community centre etc. has to be developed on the remaining land. It is noteworthy that buildings of the schools, community centres etc. are not included in the overall FAR of the colony. It is also noteworthy that the responsibility for development of the entire colony in accordance with the conditions of the license will remain a joint responsibility of the licensee and the five developer companies. A harmonious reading of the agreements made with five developer companies and the conditions of the license would unmistakable lead to a conclusion that while development of the housing colonies in the areas allocated to respective five companies should be done by the five developers companies, the infrastructure development works in the remaining area shall be executed by the licensee company itself, unless indicated otherwise in the respective agreement made with the developing companies." 33.

From the above, it is clear that both before Haryana RERA Authority and Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Haryana, the Appellant has never claimed or pleaded that the development rights given to the Corporate Debtor has been cancelled and thus, the said right is possessed with the Appellant rather contrary stand was taken by the Appellant that they do not have any development rights which have transferred to five developer companies and five developer companies have to now carry on development. Why the above stand was taken by the Appellant before Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Haryana, and RERA Authority, Haryana is not far to seek. Appellant was licensee who had taken license for development of group housing residential colony where certain FSI were also earmarked to the EWS under the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975. Licensee have various obligation including obligation to pay various charges. Licensee have also to transfer certain lands following in the master plan for road infras....

No satisfactory proof of letter dated 17.06.2009 has been filed and as noted above, the said letter came to see light of the day only on 17.06.2024 when Affidavit was filed by the Appellant bringing the letter on record. Obligation was of owners which cannot easily be washed by the Appellant. It is also a reason that Appellant having not returned the amount to the Corporate Debtor, they have not taken stand before the authorities that Development Agreement has been cancelled. 38.

Although the Applicant as in their affidavit has submitted that no construction activity has taken place on the instance of Corporate Debtor after the termination of the agreement, the Resolution Professional has submitted that even after the alleged deemed automatic termination of the agreement, Corporate Debtor was allowed to do the construction work on the project site. The alleged termination of the Power of Attorney is also against the clause 4 of the Loan agreement which stipulates about irrevocable power of attorney. 23. In view of the above, it can be safely understood that parties have not acted in furtherance of alleged deemed termination of the agreement as provided in clause 5.2 of the Agreement." 39.

....ve become the owner of the property in dispute. Therefore, the development rights created in favour of the corporate debtor constitute "property" within the meaning of the expression under Section 3(27) IBC. At the cost of repetition, it must be recapitulated that the definition of the expression "property" under Section 3(27) includes "every description of interest, including present or future or vested or contingent interest arising out of or incidental to property". Since the expression "asset" in common parlance denotes "property of any kind", the bundle of rights that the corporate debtor has over the property in question would constitute "asset" within the meaning of Section 18(1)(f) and Section 25(2)(a) IBC. 53. Therefore, NCLT as well as NCLAT [Victory Iron Works Ltd. v. Jitendra Lohia, 2021 SCC OnLine NCLAT 128] were right in holding that the possession of the corporate debtor, of the property needs to be protected. This is why a direction under Regulation 30 had been issued to the local district administration." 42.

(iv) Whether the proceedings before the High Court stood vitiated by violation of the principles of natural justice, as alleged by the appellants." 43. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the above case held following in paragraph 15.4:- "15.4. The termination was thus effected after due notice and prolonged default, and cannot be termed arbitrary or mala fide. The Society, being the owner of the property and guardian of the members' welfare, cannot be compelled to indefinitely await performance from a defaulting developer. The IBC is not intended to freeze urban welfare projects or protect commercial indolence at the cost of citizens awaiting rehabilitation." 44. From the facts of the said case, Court found that the termination of agreement prior to initiation is valid. We have found that it was the case of the Appellant throughout before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and before the RERA and Directorate of Town and Country Planning, development rights still continues with the Corporate Debtor and we having held that the development rights continue with the Corporate Debtor, the abo....

The question whether Corporate Debtor has right of trade mark 'Gloster' was held not within the domain of the Adjudicating Authority. The said judgment does not come to the aid of the Appellant in the facts of the present case where the development rights on the project land was granted by the owners and still continues with the Corporate Debtor as noted and held above. 49. We, thus, hold that the Adjudicating Authority has ample jurisdiction to consider and decide the question of development rights as claimed by the Corporate Debtor on the subject land. Cancellation of development right by letter dated 17.06.2009 has already been considered and answered in above paragraphs. Question No.(VI) 50.
