2021 (10) TMI 337 - Tri - Insolvency and Bankruptcy


Issues:
Liquidation of Firestar International Limited under Section 33(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

Analysis:
The Resolution Professional filed an application seeking the liquidation of the Corporate Debtor under Section 33(1) of the Code. The application requested specific reliefs, including passing a liquidation order, appointing a liquidator, and directing cooperation with the liquidator. The background revealed that the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) was initiated earlier, and the Committee of Creditors (CoC) had discussions regarding the resolution plan and liquidation. The CoC ultimately decided, with a significant majority, to proceed with the liquidation of the Corporate Debtor based on various factors such as lack of business prospects, insufficient assets, and unlikelihood of debt repayment through a resolution plan.

The Tribunal carefully considered the application, documents submitted, and the reasoning behind the CoC's decision. The Tribunal found the CoC's decision to be genuine and convincing, especially given the financial condition and assets of the company. Relying on the principle of Commercial Wisdom of the CoC, the Tribunal allowed the application for liquidation. The Tribunal appointed a specific liquidator, outlined the liquidation process to be followed, and granted the liquidator powers equivalent to the board of directors and key managerial personnel of the Corporate Debtor. Additionally, the Tribunal directed the Corporate Debtor's personnel to cooperate with the liquidator and imposed restrictions on legal proceedings against the Corporate Debtor once the liquidation process commenced.

In conclusion, the Tribunal approved the application for liquidation, appointed a liquidator, and provided detailed directions for the liquidation process in accordance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The decision highlighted the importance of the CoC's decision-making process and the need to follow established regulations and procedures for the orderly conduct of the liquidation process.
