..... ed preposition of law unless review power is conferred upon any authority, no forum is competent enough to review final orders. Though it is an admission order in respect to initiation of CIRP, it is a final order. For this order being final, this Adjudicating Authority will not have any jurisdiction to re-open the order under the cover of Section 60(5) of the Code. This is a provision conferred upon jurisdiction upon the Adjudicating Authority to examine the applications that are filed either by the Corporate Debtor or corporate person or any other person in respect to the issues that have come up during the CIRP or during liquidation but not to assail the admission order already passed - As to review jurisdiction is concerned, it is a .....

Besides this, when specific remedy is available to take all these points before the Appellate Authority and no review power being conferred upon this Adjudicating Authority, it is not open to this Bench to review its own order under the cover of Section 60(5) of the Code. 9.
