It was said that this bid had been declined by the CoC on 18-09-2024 in an arbitrary manner, exhibiting complete lack of &#8216;commercial wisdom&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (respondent 2) submitted that in the realm of a &#8216;private contract&#8217; between the parties and the bidding process, the bidder is only entitled to be considered but there is no thumb rule which says that the highest bidder should also be accorded priority for the resolution plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was vehemently argued that under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001549764\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">31<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001549767\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">34<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002802178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016<\/a> (&#8216;IBC&#8217;), the resolution plan accepted by the CoC should be placed for approval before the Adjudicating Authority\/NCLT and the bidder is at liberty to air his grievances by filing objections before the NCLT but cannot approach the Court in writ jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was also submitted that when the CoC was convening a meeting, a fresh offer was made to infuse funds within 90 days just when voting was going to take place on the three bids that had been submitted due to systematic leakage from some disgruntled members.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court perused the record and stated that at the outset, it was not inclined to issue notice because Gateway Investment had an alternative and efficacious remedy to assail the impugned action or inaction on the part of CoC before NCLT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court mentioned that only the Adjudicating Authority has the jurisdiction to regulate the conduct of the CoC and finally adjudicate upon the resolution plan through the powers of judicial review and thereby ensure that the CoC functions as per the role and responsibilities delineated under the IBC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that the resolution plan decided by the CoC should be put up for consideration before the Adjudicating Authority which would finally decide whether the CoC had performed its fiduciary duty as per the legislative mandate of IBC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After perusing the guidelines framed by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India for functioning of the CoC coupled with the relevant provisions of the IBC, the Court was not urged to exercise its power of judicial review and usurp the powers of NCLT to inquire into the commercial wisdom of CoC whereby the Resolution Plan of Gateway Investment was rejected vide impugned letter dated 18-09-2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted the desperate attempt made by Gateway Investment whereby it was willing to match the offer given by successful applicant, but the same could not be entertained by the Court. The Court stated that the bottom line was that the decision of the CoC should definitely be considered by NCLT in a just and expedient manner and if found fit, it may even allow &#8216;Open Court Bidding&#8217; as per law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court, while dismissing the petition, gave Gateway Investment the liberty to take appropriate recourse before NCLT which would alone decide the objections of Gateway Investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Gateway Investment Management Services v.
