Case Note & Summary
The dispute arose in the context of insolvency proceedings involving M/s. Amar Prakaash Developers Pvt. Ltd, where Ayra Consortium acted as the prospective resolution applicant. The appellant challenged an order dated 27.02.2026, which directed the Committee of Creditors (CoC) to reconsider a resolution plan due to various compliance issues under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The appellant sought several reliefs, including intervention in the resolution plan approval process and quashing of the non-compliant resolution plan. The tribunal noted that the impugned order did not adjudicate on the merits of the appellant's application, as the CoC was tasked with reconsidering the plan based on identified shortcomings. The tribunal found that the appeal was premature since the appellant's rights would only be determined after the CoC's deliberation and resubmission of the plan. The court emphasized that the appellant had not challenged the first part of the order directing the CoC to reconsider the plan, which was crucial for the appeal's validity. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, with the tribunal reserving the appellant's rights for future consideration once the CoC's revised plan was submitted.
