The legislature has consciously not provided any ground to challenge the \u201ccommercial wisdom\u201d of the individual financial creditors or their collective decision before the Adjudicating Authority and that the decision of CoC\u2019s \u2018commercial wisdom\u2019 is made non-justiciable.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201c\u2026 the appeal is a creature of statute and that the statute has not invested jurisdiction and authority either with NCLT or NCLAT, to review the commercial decision exercised by CoC of approving the resolution plan or rejecting the same.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">deciding key economic question in the bankruptcy process, the only one correct forum for evaluating such possibilities, and making a decision was, a creditors committee, wherein all financial creditors have votes in proportion to the magnitude of debt that they hold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not open to the Adjudicating Authority or Appellate Authority to reckon any other factor other than specified in Sections 30(2)or 61(3) of IBC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The commercial wisdom of CoC has been given paramount status without any judicial intervention for ensuring completion of the stated processes within the timelines prescribed by the IBC. The opinion expressed by CoC after due deliberations in the meetings through voting, as per voting shares, is a collective business decision.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201c\u2026 the Court ought to cede ground to the commercial wisdom of the creditors rather than assess the resolution plan on the basis of quantitative analysis.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In an enquiry under Section 31, the limited enquiry that the Adjudicating Authority is permitted is, as to whether the resolution plan provides:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">(i) the payment of insolvency resolution process costs in a specified manner in priority to the repayment of other debts of the corporate debtor,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">(ii) the repayment of the debts of operational creditors in prescribed manner,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">(iii) the management of the affairs of the corporate debtor,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">(iv) the implementation and supervision of the resolution plan,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">(v) the plan does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the time being in force,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">(vi) conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by the Board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Kalparaj Dharamshi v.
