2023 (7) TMI 1396 - NATIONAL COMPANY LAW APPELLATE TRIBUNAL , CHENNAISeeking extension of CIRP beyond the period of 330 days - liquidation of the Corporate Debtor - HELD THAT:- There are no substance in the argument of Appellant because the CoC had time and again extended the period which was allowed by the Adjudicating Authority but two resolution plans in respect of the Corporate Debtor were rejected with the majority of the vote of 91.92% by the CoC and at that time the CoC was aware that 330 days time period in respect of the Corporate Debtor had already been over. Moreover, it has been categorically observed by the Adjudicating Authority that neither any plan was pending nor any application under Section 12A of the Code was pending for their consideration, therefore, the period of CIRP cannot be extended on the flimsy grounds much beyond the period of 330 days as has been held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Essar Steels Through Authorised Signatory [2019 (11) TMI 731 - SUPREME COURT]. Therefore, the applications filed for extension of time by the RP has rightly been dismissed and the application filed by the RP for an order of liquidation of the Corporate Debtor has rightly been passed which does not require interference by this Tribunal. There are no merit in the present appeal and the same is hereby dismissed.
