Salient Features of the Resolution Plan


18. The key features and summary of the final Resolution Plan submitted by
the Resolution Applicant and as approved by the COC are as under:

A) AMOUNT UNDER THE RESOLUTON PLAN


i) The resolution plan is based on the current approval of restricted
height of 15.24 metres which has resulted in reduction in the sale area
to 22,781 sq.ft. which is 35.83% of the maximum carpet area of
63,581 sq.ft. assumed by the valuers. The nominal value of the
Corporate Debtor’s project based on 22,781 sq.ft. of RERA sale
carpet area is Rs.37.09 as explained in the paragraph above. Based
on the restricted height as above, the amount envisaged in the
Resolution Plan is Rs. 66.231 crore (inclusive of loan and working
capital), as under:

Sr.
No. Sources Rs. Crore
1 CIRP cost 5.000
Allocation to secured financial creditor
2 15.800
to be paid upfront
Allocation of 5% of admitted claims to
unsecured financial creditors to be paid
3 2.400
in the form of RERA carpet area (535
sq.ft.)

Total 66.231

ii) The height of the project has been restricted to 15.24 metres due to
the presence of the Signal Transmitting Station of Defence Forces in
terms of Defence Ministry’s notification No. SRO 150 u/s 7 of Works
of Defence Act, 1903. Since a number of buildings had already been
allowed unrestricted height earlier, the Corporate Debtor moved
Bombay High Court by way of a Writ Petition (L) No. 337 of 2015.
The matter is yet to be disposed of.

iii)Although the above allocation to the creditors constitutes full and


final settlement in terms of the Resolution Plan, the Resolution
Applicant has proposed that in case the full height approval
materializes following disposal of the Writ Petition within two years
from the Trigger date (maximum of 45 days from the date of
resolution plan approval), it will repay the remaining 95% of the dues
of unsecured creditors amounting to Rs. 45.69 crore in the form of
additional RERA carpet area allocation of 10,153 sq.ft. In this case,
the total amount envisaged in the Resolution Plan would be

@ In case the Corporate Debtor receives full building height approval, the total
settlement value payable to unsecured financial creditors will be 4677.97 lakhs
(treating the solitary non-voter’s share as zero since the liquidation value to
unsecured creditors is zero). In that case the % of amount provided to amount

12. The Resolution Plan is subject to the following contingencies (Elaborate the
contingencies):

i. In terms of the SRA approval, the sale building was proposed to be constructed
as Basement + Ground Floor + 6 upper storied towers with a total built up
are under free sale building of 4,758.58 sq.m. (51,220 sq.ft.). However, in
January 2012, the Defence Ministry sent a letter to Municipal Corporation of
Greater Mumbai, insisting on construction restriction, for projects in 500
yards periphery of its Signal Transmitting Station close by, in terms of
Defence Ministry’s notification No. SRO 150 u/s 7 of Works of Defence Act,
1903. This resulted in the Corporate Debtor’s building height being restricted
to 15.24 metres. The height restriction has left the Corporate Debtor with less
than 50% of the sale area.

ii. The height restriction has been challenged by the Corporate Debtor in
Bombay High Court by way of Write Petition 337 or 2015, based on the plea
that the project falls outside the prescribed 500 yards periphery, and reported
shifting of the Singal Transmitting Station, etc.

IA No. 11 of 2024
IN CP(IB) No. 1015 of 2019

iii. Owing to the uncertainty of the outcome of the Writ Petition, the Resolution
Plan has been formulated based on the current approved height of Ground +
3 floors and the sale area of 22,781 sq.ft. of RERA carpet area.

iv. If the height restriction is lifted and full height is permitted after disposal of
the writ petition, the Resolution Plan envisages Phase-II in which further
three floors would be constructed, when the remaining carpet area of about
40,351 sq.ft. (after acquiring and consuming 35% of fungible FSI) would be
constructed. In such a case, the Resolution Plan envisages payment of the
remaining dues of the unsecured creditors aggregating Rs. 45,68,51,134/- by
way of allocation of 10,153 sq.t. at a rate of Rs.45,000/sq.ft.

v. While the allocation for CIRP cost and creditors (described as total Bid Value
by the Resolution Applicant) of Rs.23,23,50,492/- constitutes full and final
settlement of all the admitted claims, the Resolution Applicant’s commitment
of allocating 10,153 sq.ft. of RERA carpet area will enhance the total
allocation to Rs. 68,92,01,626/-.

15. Provide details of section 66 or avoidance application filed / pending.

a) Payment of CIRP Cost as specified u/s 30(2)(a) of the Code.

MUMBAI BENCH- I
IA No. 11 of 2024

b) Repayment of Debts of Operational Creditors as specified u/s


30(2)(b) of the Code.
c) For management of the affairs of the Corporate Debtor, after
the approval of Resolution Plan, as specified U/s 30(2)(c) of the
Code.
d) The implementation and supervision of Resolution Plan by the
RP and the CoC as specified u/s 30(2)(d) of the Code.

23. The RP has complied with the requirement of the Code in terms of
Section 30(2)(a) to 30(2)(f) and Regulations 38(1), 38(1)(a), 38(2)(a),
38(2)(b), 38(2)(c) & 38(3) of the Regulations.

24. The RP has filed Compliance Certificate in Form-H along with the
Plan. On perusal the same is found to be in order. The Resolution
Plan has been approved by the CoC by majority of 99.36%.

25. The Resolution Applicant has sought certain reliefs and concessions,
which we have dealt with below –

a) Clause 13.2 of the Resolution Plan : Waivers/Reliefs/


Concessions, Dispensations, Other Rights and Benefits
Reliefs sought vide Clause No. 13.2 i), ii), iii), iv), viii) and x) are
allowed. However, reliefs claimed vide Clause 13.2 v), vi), vii) and
ix) shall be considered by respective authorities subject to
adherence of the provisions, procedure and compliances of relevant
laws.

b) Clause 13.3 of the Resolution Applicant : Indemnity for any past

IA No. 11 of 2024
IN CP(IB) No. 1015 of 2019

c) Clause 13.4 of the Resolution Plan : Tax and Stamp Duty


Exemptions
As regards the reliefs sought vide Clause 13.4 of the Resolution
Plan, as per extant provisions in the relevant statute and subject to
adherence of the prescribed procedures, the authorities will
consent.

d) Clause 13.5 : Anti-corruption provisions and immunity


The relief sought under Clause 13.5 of the Resolution Plan is
allowed.

26. The Resolution Applicant has also assumed that the IBC is a complete
code and NCLT is empowered to grant a single window clearance for
all actions contemplated under this Resolution Plan, which shall be
granted upon the approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT.
However, this cannot be allowed as it shall be subject to adherence of
procedure and compliances of relevant laws.

27. In K Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank & Others (in Civil Appeal
No.10673/2018 decided on 05.02.2019) the Hon’ble Apex Court held
that if the CoC had approved the Resolution Plan by requisite percent
of voting share, then as per section 30(6) of the Code, it is imperative
for the Resolution Professional to submit the same to the Adjudicating
Authority (NCLT). On receipt of such a proposal, the Adjudicating
Authority is required to satisfy itself that the Resolution Plan as
approved by CoC meets the requirements specified in Section 30(2).
The Hon’ble Apex Court further observed that the role of the NCLT
is ‘no more and no less’. The Hon’ble Apex Court further held that
the discretion of the Adjudicating Authority is circumscribed by
Section 31 and is limited to scrutiny of the Resolution Plan “as
approved” by the requisite percent of voting share of financial
creditors. Even in that enquiry, the grounds on which the
Adjudicating Authority can reject the Resolution Plan is in reference

IN THE NATIONAL COMPANY LAW TRIBUNAL
MUMBAI BENCH- I
IA No. 11 of 2024
IN CP(IB) No. 1015 of 2019

to matters specified in Section 30(2) when the Resolution Plan does


not conform to the stated requirements.

28. In view of the discussions and the law thus settled, the instant
Resolution Plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2) of the Code
and Regulations 37, 38, 38 (1A) and 39 (4) of the Regulations. The
Resolution Plan is not in contravention of any of the provisions of
Section 29A of the Code and is in accordance with law. The same
needs to be approved. Hence, ordered.

29. The Resolution Plan along with the Addendum thereto annexed to
the Application is hereby approved. It shall become effective from this
date and shall form part of this order with the following directions:

i. It shall be binding on the Corporate Debtor, its employees,


members, creditors, including the Central Government, any State
Government or any local authority to whom a debt in respect of
the payment of dues arising under any law for the time being in
force is due, guarantors and other stakeholders involved in the
Resolution Plan.

ii. The approval of the Resolution Plan shall not be construed as


waiver of any statutory obligations/liabilities of the Corporate
Debtor and shall be dealt by the appropriate Authorities in
accordance with law. Any waiver sought in the Resolution Plan,
shall be subject to approval by the Authorities concerned in light
of the Judgment of Supreme Court in Ghanshyam Mishra and Sons
Private Limited v/s. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company
Limited, the relevant paragrahs of which are extracted herein

will be binding on the corporate debtor and its employees,
members, creditors, including the Central Government, any State
Government or any local authority, guarantors and other
stakeholders. On the date of approval of resolution plan by the
