2022 (9) TMI 441 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyCIRP proceedings - validity of order of liquidation - Wither the Resolution Professional (RP) has not at all taken any sincere efforts for obtaining appropriate resolution plan - Section 33(2) of the IBC - HELD THAT:- On going through the impugned order it is evident that CIRP was initiated long back on 03.09.2019. As per scheme of IBC and also statutory provisions mentioned therein, such proceeding is required to be concluded within a specified time. The impugned order quoted hereinabove reflects that even after expiry of statutory period 90 days further time was granted but no resolution plan could be approved. In such situation the RP was having no alternative than to proceed with a petition under Section 33(2) of the IBC. On bare perusal of provisions of Section 33(2) of the IBC, once Resolution Professional in compliance with the conditions mentioned in sub-section (2) with a prayer to liquidate Corporate Debtor, the Adjudicating Authority has no option but to pass an order for liquidation. The word “shall” in sub-section (2) has been inserted and as such on being intimated by the RP, in the present case, the COC has resolved for liquidation in terms of sub-section (2) of Section 33 and as such the Adjudicating Authority was having no option but to pass order for initiation of the liquidation proceeding. Moreover, on examination of the impugned order itself it is evident that there was complete non-cooperation by the appellants who were suspended directors of the corporate Debtor. The appeal stands dismissed without cost.
