Also, the holders of issued share capital (equity shareholders and preference shareholders) of Corporate Debtor have no amount available to them in the event of its liquidation. In view of the above circumstances, the SRA proposes to reduce the issued Equity and Preference Share capital of the Corporate Debtor to Zero, i.e., NIL value. It is therefore, proposed that there will be complete extinguishment of 51,91,400 issued fully paid up Equity Shares and fully paid up 17,66,505 Preference Shares of Corporate Debtor, which will have the effect of making the issued share capital of Corporate Debtor to Zero, i.e., NIL value. The SRA will infuse fresh share capital into Corporate Debtor to the tune of Rs. 10 lakhs from his own resources by subscribing to 1 lakhs fully paid up equity shares of Rs..10 each and the shareholding of SRA and his affiliates all acting as new promoters of the Corporate Debtor, will be 100% of its issued and paid up share capital. e. .....

The Hon'ble Court observed that the role of the NCLT is 'no more and no less'. The Hon'ble Court further held that the discretion of the Adjudicating Authority is circumscribed by Section 31 and is limited to scrutiny of the Resolution Plan "as approved" by the requisite percent of voting share of financial creditors. Even in that enquiry, the grounds on which the Adjudicating Authority can reject the Resolution Plan is in reference to matters specified in Section 30(2) when the Resolution Plan does not conform to the stated requirements. 16. In CoC of Essar Steel (supra) the Hon'ble Apex Court clearly laid down that the Adjudicating Authority would not have power to modify the Resolution Plan which the CoC in their commercial wisdom have approved.
