....ssion of interest inviting prospective Resolution Applicant was issued by him. Resolution Plan was submitted by only one Resolution Applicant, namely, Mantena Engitec Private Limited. It seems to have filed in compliance of sub-section 2 of Section 30 of the 1B code, 2016. The Resolution Professional has submitted the Resolution Plan before the Committee of Creditors for its favourable consideration. 3. From the records available, it is understood that there is no other Resolution Applicant who showed interest in taking over the stressed assets of the Corporate Debtor other than the resolution plan of Mantena Engitec Private Limited. The Ld. RP has submitted that the Resolution Plan of M/S. Mantena Engitec Private Limited (MEPL) has undergone various negotiations, deliberations at the various meetings convened by the Committee of Creditors and as per the result of negotiations with the Resolution Applicant, the resolution Applicant had submitted its revised Resolution Plan to the Resolution Professional on 07-09-20918.

....16, time limit for completion of the Insolvency Resolution Process shall expire firstly upon completion of 180 days and if it is extended, it would lastly expire within 270 days. That 270 days has expired on 01-10-2018. 10. Proviso to Section 12 mandate that the Adjudicating Authority shall not pass an order for extension of the period of CIRP under Section 12 for more than once. Therefore, the request on the side of the resolution Applicant in CA(IB) No. 965/KB/2018 for a reconsideration of the Resolution Plan after the expiry of 270 days could not be entertained by me at this stage. 11. Here in the instant case, it appears to me that the rejection of the Resolution Plan by the majority vote share was not on sound reason. The reason for rejection communicated to the Resolution Applicant reads as follows : " further based on your e. mail dated September 24, 2018 requesting waiver of furnishing unconditional and irrevocable performance bank guarantee of INR with respect to implementation of the successful Resolution plan by Mantena Engitec Private Limited, I put the same as well to vote by Committee of Creditors members for their approval. Based on voting results of Committee of....

....tend the meeting at all. The Members expressed that as the CIRP period is over, the Committee of Creditors cannot consider the fresh Resolution Plan unless special direction is received from the NCLT and the Committee of Creditors decided to go on with liquidation process by permitting the Resolution Professional to file the liquidation plan. 15. I regret to take note of the observation of the Committee of Creditors taken in the meeting held on 08-10-2018. The Resolution Professional or the Committee of Creditors had not approached the Adjudicating Authority (in short AA) before the expiry of the period so as to exclude any days which were unutilised for the purpose of identifying the Resolution Plan and put pressure on the AA that if AA chooses to grant time beyond 270- days, it can consider the Resolution Plan knowing very well that the AA shall not extend the period more than once. The Resolution Professional is duty bound to act diligently keeping in mind the time line. 16. As per the amended provision 40A of IBBI(IRP for Corporate Persons) Regulation, 2016, model time line for CIRP is laid down by the IBBI. It is good to read that Model time line so as to have a cross check ....
