   1. The present Application has been filed by the Resolution Professional inter
      alia seeking to issue direction to the Respondent No.1 (Income Tax
      Department) and Respondent No.2 (ICICI Bank Ltd.) to vacate the lien
                                                                                        24

  1. These Applications have been filed by Mr. Asheesh Choudhary inter alia
     seeking to condone the delay of 210 & 241 days in filing the claim
     amounting to Rs.2,82,60,000/ & Rs.2,62,00,000/- and direct the RP to
     accept the claim of the Applicants made against the Corporate Debtor.
  2. Heard the Ld. Counsels for the parties.
  3. The Resolution Professional has filed reply vide diary no.5952 & 2771
     dated 28.11.2023 & 13.05.2024, wherein it is stated that the Applicant
     has filed its Claim under Form D for amount of Rs.2,82,60,000/ &
     Rs.2,62,00,000/- vide email dated 03.05.2023 to the RP with a delay of
     449 days in both these IAs and subsequently the RP rejected the claim of
     the Applicants being time barred. It is also stated that a Resolution Plan
     has been approved in the 08th meeting held on 22.02.2023 by the CoC and
     subsequently the RP has filed an Application bearing IA No.177/2023
     seeking approval of the resolution plan on 25.02.2023, and the same is
     pending before this Adjudicating Authority. The RP has relied upon the
                                                                                      25
                                                                        Page 3 of 5
   judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of RPS Infrastructure Ltd. vs.
   Mukul Kumar & Anr. (2023 INSC 816) dated 11.09.2023.
4. From perusal of the records, it is noticed that the Applicant had submitted
   their claim after 449 (actual date as per submission of RP) days from the
   invitation   of   submitting   claims   through   public   notice   made    on
   10.02.2022.The extended time period as per Regulation 12(2) of the IBBI
   (CIRP) Regulations, 2016 for submission of claims with proof is ninety days
   from the date of initiation of the IRP. This period also expired on
   04.05.2022 (i.e. 90 days from the insolvency commencement date i.e.
   03.02.2022). It is an admitted fact that the CoC had approved the
   Resolution Plan and the same is pending before this Adjudicating
   Authority.
5. We are of the view that when the Resolution Plan has already been
   approved by the CoC and it is pending before the Adjudicating Authority
   for approval, at this stage, if Resolution Professional is directed to
   entertain new claim, after the approval of resolution plan by CoC, the CIRP
   would be jeopardized and the Resolution Process may become more
   difficult. Keeping in view the object of the IBC which is resolution of
   Corporate Debtor in a time bound manner to maximize the value, if such
   belated claims of Applicants is accepted at this stage, the very purpose of
   IBC would be defeated.
6. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case M/s. RPS Infrastructure Ltd.
   (supra), wherein it was categorically held that as follows:
   “The mere fact that the Adjudicating Authority has yet not approved the plan
   does not imply that the plan can go back and forth, thereby making the CIRP
   an endless process. This would result in the reopening of the whole issue,
   particularly as there may be other similar persons who may jump onto the
   bandwagon. As described above, in Essar Steel, the Court cautioned against
   allowing claims after the resolution plan has been accepted by CoC.”
6. In the circumstances, and in view of the abovementioned judgment passed
   by the Hon’ble Apex Court, these Applications i.e. I.A. Nos.660 & 796 of
   2023 are hereby dismissed.
                                                                                        26
                                                                          Page 4 of 5
  1. The present Application has been filed by Mr. Asheesh Choudhary inter
     alia seeking to pronounce the initiation of CIRP under Section 7 petition
     initiated by R-2 through the Financial Creditor as fraudulent and a
     substantial violation under the provisions of Section 65 of the IBC, and set
     aside the admission order dated 06.01.2022 under Section 7 of the IBC
     owing to Respondent Nos.1-6 being related parties; to set aside the Section
     7 admission order dated 06.01.2022 and declare the CIRP against the
     Corporate Debtor as abated, thereby releasing the Corporate Debtor from
     the implications of CIRP including the effects of the moratorium etc.
  2. Heard the Ld. Counsels for the parties.
  3. In support of their Application, the Applicant has filed a memo vide diary
     no.2071 dated 02.04.2024 in which a chart explaining the relation
     between the Respondents and their involvement as Directors, members of
     the CoC has been given. In this memo a list has been attached in which
     the relation of the members of the CoC with the Corporate Debtor and its
     promoters has been given. Thus, the basis of the allegation of the Applicant
     is that the CoC is comprised of related parties.
  4. It is noticed that an identical matter was dealt with by this Adjudicating
     Authority in I.A. No.422/2023 on 25.09.2023 in the same case and the
     following order was passed:
     “….3. It is stated by the Ld. Counsel for the Applicant that the CoC has been
     constituted with related parties; parties who are same group companies,
     accordingly this constitution of the CoC is not valid. However, for such a
     claim, the initiation of the CIRP itself cannot be challenged. Therefore we are
     inclined to dispose of the present application with a liberty to the Applicant
     to the file appropriate I.A. Accordingly, I.A. No.133 of 2024 is disposed of.”
  5. The basic contention of the Applicant is in this prayer is same as in IA
     No.422/2023 that the CoC was constituted with related parties, therefore,
     the constitution was invalid. However, such an allegation cannot be made
     to challenge the initiation of the CIRP and accordingly this application is
     not maintainable. Therefore, the instant Application i.e. I.A. No.133/2024
                                                                                         27

IA No.176 of 2023:
1. Heard the Ld. Counsels for the Parties.
                                                                                    32
2. It is noticed that vide Order dated 19.10.2023, IA No.176 of 2023 was wrongly
   recorded as Order Reserved during the Special Bench, however, the same was
   not reserved during the hearing. In view of the above, Order dated 19.10.2023
   stands modified to the above extent.
3. Today, Ld. RP submits that there is no income tax demand against the
   Corporate Debtor, however, ICICI Bank informed the RP that Bank A/c of the
   Corporate Debtor was lien marked and has been debit freeze on order of the
   Income Tax Department. In this regard, he has written to the Income Tax
   Department as well as to the ICICI Bank Bengaluru asking them to de-freeze
   the Bank A/c. However, no reply has been received till date.
4. It is seen that pursuant to notice issued on 19.04.2023, Ld. Counsel for the
   Applicant-RP has filed proof of service of notice vide Diary No.2683 dated
   25.05.2023, wherein, it is observed that notice sent to the Income Tax Dept.
   was unserved with remarks ‘Insufficient Address’. However, he states that
   copy of notice along with IA has been sent by e-mail to all the Respondents
   on 08.05.2022. In this regard, Ld. RP states that ICICI Bank has not given
   the correct address of the Income Tax authority under whose instructions
   they have frozen the Bank A/c of the Corporate Debtor.
5. In the circumstances, we hereby direct the Respondent No.2 herein i.e., ICICI
   Bank, Commissariat Road, Bengaluru to furnish the correct address of the
   Income Tax Dept. to enable the Resolution Professional to serve another
   notice on R-1.
