2023 (1) TMI 192 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyInitiation of CIRP - FINANCIAL CREDITORS - Home buyers - NCLT admitted the application - Appellant has submitted that they are ready to deposit an amount of amount - HELD THAT:- There is no material brought on record except to the letter of the Swamih Investment Fund dated 03.06.2021, which provided for approval of fund subject to several conditions. The Financial Creditor submits that one of the condition was that NOC of Financial Creditor was required to be obtained, whereas no NOC have been obtained from Financial Creditor for the said fund. Although, the Appellant has submitted that they are ready to deposit an amount of Rs.1,12,50,000/-, which was the amount of default admitted by the Adjudicating Authority, but we are of the view that by mere depositing the said amount, the CIRP cannot be set aside. We are quite conscious that in the real estate Projects, it is the Homebuyers, who are the major sufferer. Most of the Homebuyers belong to middle income group, who for funding their homes also takes loan from financial institutions and suffer due to non-handover of possession by the builders - present is a case where order initiating CIRP need no interference. Consequently, the CoC has to be constituted to find out the ways and means to complete the Project, so that interest of the Homebuyers be firstly fulfilled. The CIRP of the Corporate Debtor needs to be proceeded with. The CoC may be constituted immediately and CoC may take a call regarding finding out ways and means to complete the Projects. With the approval of CoC, the IRP may take steps to obtain interim finances to complete the Project, if any. It is also open for the CoC to take a decision to invite Resolution Plan in staggered manner, confined to Project wise/ building wise, as may be feasible and convenient, so that unfinished Project may be completed and Homebuyers be handed over the possession without paying any additional cost. The order impugned dated 16.06.2022 passed by the Adjudicating Authority, admitting Section 7 Application is upheld - appeal allowed.
