2023 (10) TMI 1001 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyChallenge to resolution plan as approved by the CoC - Reduction of the claim of the home buyers / creditors - to be ranked at the top in terms of the waterfall mechanism or not - HELD THAT:- In the present facts of the case, it is found that the Appellants were given a chance to raise their objections before the RP as well as the Authorized Representative of the Home Buyers. The RP did not falter in accepting their claims in spite of expressing some reservations initially. The RP had also facilitated the Appellants in routing their objections to the Authorized Representative and the latter had provided them the window of opportunity of taking up their issues with the resolution applicants. The RP and the Authorized Representative did not fail in the discharge of their responsibilities and no cause of action survives on this count. Once the CoC has approved the resolution plan by requisite majority and the same is in consonance with applicable provisions of law the same cannot be a subject matter of judicial review and modification - the plea raised by the Appellants that the Adjudicating Authority had committed an error in rejecting their IA without having considered the main petition seeking approval of the resolution plan, is not impressing. Merely because there is a reduction in the claim of any creditor does not make the resolution plan fall foul of law. We quite agree with the Adjudicating Authority that “resolution plan providing a lesser amount than admitted does not make it illegal”. Any clause in the resolution plan which requires creditors to take a hair-cut cannot be construed as being violative of Section 30(2)(e) of the IBC. There is nothing to show that there has been transgression of the bounds of rules and regulations which have caused any serious miscarriage of justice to the Appellants - the Adjudicating Authority did not commit any error in dismissing Application. There are no good grounds to entertain this appeal. Appeal is dismissed.
