The primordial grievance of the 'Appellant' / 'Applicant' is that the 'Appellant' / 'Applicant' filed IA(IBC)/147/KOB/2022 in CP(IBC)/24/KOB/2022, seeking to 'Recall' the original order dated 05.05.2022 and to issue a 'fresh order', appointing the 'Resolution Professional' and directing him to submit a 'Fresh Report', after affording an opportunity to the 'Appellant' / 'Applicant'.

At the stage of appointment of Resolution Professional, such allowing is not contemplated in Section 97 no adjudication as such is involved." The crystalline stand of the Appellant / Applicant is that the Appellant / Applicant had preferred IA/IBC/147/KOB/2022 before the 'Adjudicating Authority' (National Company Law Tribunal, Kochi Bench) and that the 'Adjudicating Authority' (National Company Law Tribunal, Kochi Bench) on 29.06.2022 had dismissed the said 'Interlocutory Application' filed to 'Recall' the 'Order' dated 05.05.2022, on the footing, that the 'Adjudicating Authority' (National Company Law Tribunal, Kochi Bench) has no power to 'Recall' or 'Review' the 'Order' dated 05.0 .....
