The Corporate Debtor did not respond, leading to ex-parte proceeding. The Committee of Creditors (CoC) voted for liquidation due to the Corporate Debtor&#8217;s prolonged closure, directors&#8217; resignation, and other financial challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Several CoC meetings were held on 6-04-2021, 27-05-2021, 23-06-2021, and 27-07-2021 to discuss and ultimately decide on the liquidation of the Corporate Debtor. E-voting on liquidation occurred between 16-08-2021 and 18-08-2021, with 88.48% of CoC members, including financial creditors, voting in favor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) filed a liquidation application, and the Adjudicating Authority issued a show cause notice to CoC members, questioning the decision to liquidate without exploring resolution possibilities, possibly acting against the IBC&#8217;s scheme. The Adjudicating Authority expressed a prima facie opinion of malicious intent in initiating liquidation proceedings and initiated a penalty proceeding under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001549801\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">65<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002802178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBC<\/a>. Aggrieved by the impugned order passed by the Adjudicating Authority, the appellants contested the order, challenging the invocation of Section 65 and the misinterpretation of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001549766\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">33(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002802178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Grounds of Appeal<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The appellants argued that the CoC, with 88.48% voting share, had the authority to decide on liquidation under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001549766\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">33(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002802178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBC<\/a>. The appellants contended that the Adjudicating Authority misunderstood the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002802178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBC<\/a> provisions and misread <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Sunil S.

The appellants contended that the Adjudicating Authority erred in invoking Section 65 without establishing malicious intent, as the proceedings were for liquidation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">NCLAT&#8217;s Assessment<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The NCLAT held that the CoC had the jurisdiction to decide on liquidation at any time before the confirmation of the resolution plan. The NCLAT emphasised that the Adjudicating Authority&#8217;s view, requiring completion of all steps related to resolution, contradicted the spirit of Section 33(2) and its explanation. Additionally, The NCLAT found the invocation of Section 65 without sufficient grounds to be improper, as the proceedings were initiated for liquidation, not for ulterior purposes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">NCLAT&#8217;s Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The NCLAT deemed the Adjudicating Authority&#8217;s interpretation erroneous and set aside the impugned order. The appeal was allowed and no order as to costs was issued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">ACRE &#8211; 81 Trust<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pawan Kumar Goyal<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/Y21B1ULW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 SCC OnLine NCLAT 90<\/a>, order dated 17-01-2024<\/span>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">*Judgment by Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. Arun Kathpalia, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Ujjal Banerjee and Mr. Akash Khurana, Counsel for the Appellant<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. Rishi Singhal, Counsel for the Respondent 1\/IRP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">The NCLAT held that the CoC had the jurisdiction to decide on liquidation as per Section 33(2) and its explanation, even before completing all steps for resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67514,"featured_media":293392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[32458,38099,29690,62412,30182,22014,64712,18281],"class_list":["post-312265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-casebriefs","category-tribunals_commissions_regulatorybodies","tag-committee-of-creditors","tag-justice-rakesh-kumar","tag-liquidation","tag-mr-naresh-salecha-technical-member","tag-national-company-law-appellate-tribunal","tag-nclat","tag-section-332-of-the-ibc","tag-show-cause-notice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NCLAT affirms Committee of Creditors&#039;
