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 Court,,

observed that the role of the NCLT is ‘no more and no less’. The Hon’ble 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,,

specified in Section 30(2) when the Resolution Plan does not conform to the stated requirements.,,

Hon’ble Court observed as under:,,

“Thus, it is clear that the limited judicial review available, which can in no circumstance trespass upon a business decision of the majority of the Committee of",,

Creditors, has to be within the four corners of section 30(2) of the Code, insofar as the Adjudicating Authority is concerned, and section 32 read with section",,

61(3) of the Code, insofar as the Appellate Tribunal is concerned, the parameters of such review having been clearly laid down in K. Sashidhar (supra). â€​",,

14. Â 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",,
