Issues Involved:
The judgment involves a challenge to an order passed by the Adjudicating Authority regarding the implementation of a Resolution Plan in a Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. Issue 1: Challenge to the order dated 23.02.2024 The Appellant filed an Appeal challenging the order passed by the Adjudicating Authority on 23.02.2024 in response to an application filed by the Successful Resolution Applicant (SRA) seeking various directions. Issue 2: Relief sought by the SRA in IA No.435 of 2024 The SRA prayed for several reliefs in IA No.435 of 2024, including directions to prevent interference in the hotel premises, protection of employees, assistance in plan implementation, maintenance of law and order, and punishment for contravening the resolution plan. Issue 3: Arguments presented by the Appellant The Appellant's counsel argued that the Adjudicating Authority hurriedly passed the order without giving a proper opportunity to respond, and the Resolution Plan approval is under challenge in other appeals. They highlighted the need to await the decision of the Tribunal in the pending appeals before implementing the plan. Issue 4: Arguments presented by the Resolution Professional The Resolution Professional contended that the Resolution Plan had already been approved, and the order on 23.02.2024 was an interim measure to ensure the Corporate Debtor's operations continue smoothly. They emphasized the entitlement of the Corporate Debtor to use shared facilities as per the approved plan. Issue 5: Arguments presented by the SRA The SRA's counsel argued that the Resolution Plan implementation was not halted by the Tribunal and highlighted issues faced during implementation, such as obstruction by security guards preventing access to shared services. They mentioned the payment made as part of the plan and the importance of the Corporate Debtor as a going concern. Judgment Summary: The Tribunal disposed of the Appeal, considering the previous order upholding the Resolution Plan and granting certain liberties to the parties. It emphasized the need for both parties to act in accordance with the granted liberty and the interim nature of the 23.02.2024 order. The Adjudicating Authority was directed to consider the Tribunal's previous judgment while deciding on the pending application.
