The Corporate Debtor was supplying electricity to Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. (TANGEDCO) and it owed an amount of Rs. 157,85,71,585 to the Corporate Debtor. And even the deposit of Rs 36 crores in fixed deposit under garnishee orders by TANGEDCO, could not improve the financial position of the Corporate Debtor. Further, it was stated that the Committee of Creditors (CoC) in its commercial wisdom had rejected the resolution plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While stating the reason the Tribunal referred to <em>K Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank,<\/em> (2019) 148 LA 497 (SC) which further held,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cThe Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) is not expected to do anything more; but is obliged to initiate liquidation process under Section 33(1) of the I&amp;B Code. The legislature has not endowed the adjudicating authority (NCLT) with the jurisdiction or authority to analyse or evaluate the commercial decision of the CoC much less to enquire into the justness of the rejection of the resolution plan by the dissenting financial creditors\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, falling in line with the CoC wisdom to not accept any of the resolution plans for revival of the Company and having been resolved with 81% voting share in favor of the liquidation of the Company, the Adjudicating Authority found no reason to go against and hold a contrary view in terms of Section 33(1) (a) of the Code.[Axis Bank Ltd. v.
