2022 (11) TMI 805 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyApplication for withdrawal of IBC - Section 12A of I&B Code - HELD THAT:- It is an admitted fact that CIRP was initiated against the Corporate Debtor and the Adjudicating Authority vide its order dated 16.04.2018 admitted the application and appointed IRP. The IRP took charge and proceeded in accordance with law, namely making public announcement regarding initiation of CIRP against the Corporate Debtor in Form-A, preparation of list of creditors, and convening the Meetings of the Committee of Creditors and calling the Expression of Interest (EoI) etc. It is seen that one of the Prospective Resolution Applicant viz. namely Paras Agarwal submitted its plan for CD - As per the decision of the CoC, the Respondent / RP filed the Application before the Adjudicating Authority seeking withdrawal of CIRP Proceeding against the Corporate Debtor. This Tribunal is of the view that the impugned order passed by the Adjudicating Authority is a cryptic order without assigning any reasons. Once the CIRP proceedings initiated and the Committee of Creditors constituted, the Adjudicating Authority under Section 12-A of the Code, may allow withdrawal of application made by the Applicant i.e. IRP/RP where the Committee of Creditors approves with 90% voting share. In the present case, the CoC in its 15th Meeting approved withdrawal of application against the Corporate Debtor by more than 93% voting share and issued Form-FA which is a statutory requirement - this Tribunal is of the view that the order passed by the Adjudicating Authority is a non-speaking and without assigning any reasons is per se illegal. The Adjudicating Authority is directed to reconsider the Application on its merit and pass a reasoned order in accordance with law within a period of 45 days from receipt of copy of this order - Appeal disposed off.
