Case Note & Summary

The matter involved appeals filed by Parmjit Gandhi against the Resolution Professional of Arshiya Northern FTWZ Ltd. and Athena India Opportunities & Ors. The appellant sought early hearing for the applications I.A. No. 6127/2026 and I.A. No. 6071/2026. However, due to subsequent events, the appellant indicated a lack of interest in continuing with the appeals and requested to withdraw them unconditionally. The learned Counsel for the appellant referenced a Supreme Court order directing the Committee of Creditors (CoC) to consider the petitioner's Resolution Plan before the next hearing, with the proceedings before the NCLT remaining subject to the outcome of the appeal. The Resolution Professional confirmed that the plan had already been approved by the NCLT. In light of these submissions, the Tribunal dismissed the appeals as withdrawn unconditionally and disposed of the pending applications. The decision was made by the officiating Chairperson and two technical members.
