This followed the admission of a Petition by the Financial Creditor, State Bank of India, under Section 7 of the Code read with Rule 4 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy (Application to Adjudicating Authority) Rules, 2016 on 31.10.2017. The Petition was admitted on 06.02.2018, and Ms. Charu Desai was appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP).

The Resolution Applicant is a consortium of two companies: M/s Khilari Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and M/s Topnotch Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. The Resolution Plan submitted was approved by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) with 77.8% voting shares during e-voting held between 26-30 October 2018, surpassing the 66% threshold under Section 30(4) of the Code. The CoC comprised eighteen Financial Creditors. The Resolution Professional prepared and circulated an Information Memorandum to CoC members, issued advertisements inviting Expressions of Interest, and received multiple EOIs. The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) period was extended by 90 days under Section 12 of the Code.

Two Resolution Plans were received on 31.08.2018, one by the Khilari-Topnotch Consortium and another by Shamrock Pharmachemi Pvt. Ltd. The Khilari-Topnotch Consortium's revised plan, including a latest commercial offer, was approved by the CoC. The plan proposed significant haircuts on admitted debts across various creditor categories. The Resolution Applicant submitted an affidavit confirming compliance with Section 29A of the Code, affirming no disqualification.

Legal Issues Presented

  1. Whether the Resolution Plan submitted by the Khilari-Topnotch Consortium meets the requirements of Section 30(2) of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016, including compliance with the provisions regarding payment to creditors and priorities?
  2. Whether the Adjudicating Authority should approve the Resolution Plan pursuant to Section 31 of the Code after satisfaction that the plan is approved by the requisite majority of the Committee of Creditors?
  3. Whether the reliefs and concessions sought by the Resolution Applicant for effective implementation of the Resolution Plan can be granted?

Table of Precedents Cited

Precedent Rule or Principle Cited For Application by the Court
K Sashidhar & Indian Overseas Bank & ors. [Civil Appeal No. 10673/2018] Role of Committee of Creditors (CoC) in approving or rejecting Resolution Plans; Adjudicating Authority's limited role in interfering with commercial wisdom of CoC Held that the Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) is not required to examine merits or reasoning of CoC's decision; approval depends on 75% voting share of CoC; commercial wisdom of CoC is non-justiciable and must be respected.
State Bank of India v. MOR Farms Pvt. Ltd. (NCLT Chandigarh Bench, 15.06.2018) Waiver of tax dues under moratorium during CIRP period Waiver granted for tax dues during CIRP moratorium period; supports reliefs sought for statutory dues in the Resolution Plan.

Court's Reasoning and Analysis

The Court undertook a thorough examination of the Resolution Plan submitted by the Khilari-Topnotch Consortium. It emphasized that under Section 31 of the Code, the Adjudicating Authority must be satisfied that the Resolution Plan complies with the requirements of Section 30(2), including provisions related to payment priorities and feasibility.

The Court noted the necessity of recording satisfaction in writing, which must be based on a conscious and analytical application of mind to the terms of the Resolution Plan. Both objective and subjective satisfaction are condition precedents to approval. The Court acknowledged the commercial wisdom exercised by the Committee of Creditors, which had approved the plan with requisite voting shares.

Relying on the Supreme Court's decision in K Sashidhar & Indian Overseas Bank, the Court held that it is not required to interfere with the commercial decision of the CoC, provided the plan has the requisite approval percentage. The Court also noted that the Resolution Applicant complied with Section 29A, confirming eligibility.

The Court considered the reliefs and concessions sought to facilitate smooth implementation, including waivers of penalties, exemptions from tax liabilities, continuation of licenses, and immunity from proceedings for pre-CIRP period defaults. The Court observed that some reliefs could not be granted in full due to uncertainties but allowed liberty to take appropriate actions.

The Court further held that upon approval, the Resolution Plan shall be binding on all stakeholders, and the moratorium under Section 14 shall cease to have effect. The incoming management shall not be personally liable for acts of the erstwhile management prior to CIRP commencement.

Finally, the Court granted approval of the Resolution Plan in view of compliance with statutory requirements, the CoC's approval, and the Supreme Court's authoritative guidance.

Holding and Implications

The Resolution Plan submitted by the Khilari-Topnotch Consortium is hereby approved and sanctioned by the Adjudicating Authority under Section 31 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

The approval binds the Corporate Debtor and all stakeholders, including creditors, employees, promoters, and government authorities, ensuring the revival of the Corporate Debtor with immediate effect. The moratorium imposed under Section 14 ceases. The incoming management takes over control without personal liability for prior acts of the erstwhile management. The reliefs and concessions granted facilitate smooth implementation of the plan, although some reliefs require further action or evidence. The decision respects the commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors as mandated by the Supreme Court and does not set a new precedent beyond the statutory framework and existing case law.

As per the Information Memorandum, the admitted claims of the Operational Creditors (i.e. Trade Payables) other than workmen are INR 24.95 Crores. While the Resolution Applicant is not aware of the liquidation value of the Company, for the purpose of this Resolution Plan, the underlying assumption of the Resolution Applicant is that the liquidation value due to the Operational Creditors (Trade Payables) (other than the workmen) in accordance with the liquidation waterfall under the Code is NIL. Accordingly, the requirement of Section 30(2)(b) of the Code to pay atleast liquidation value to Operational Creditors does not apply in this case.

While the Resolution Applicant is not aware of the liquidation value of the Company, for the purpose of this Resolution Plan, the underlying assumption of the Resolution Applicant is that the liquidation value due to the Operational Creditors (Statutory Liabilities) in accordance with the liquidation waterfall under the Code is NIL. Accordingly, the requirement of Section 30(2)(b) of the Code to pay atleast liquidation value to Operational Creditors (Statutory Liabilities) does not apply in this case. Inspite thereof, the Resolution Applicants are ready and willing to pay a sum of INR 2.50 Crores within 60 days from Closing Date towards all statutory liabilities (Other than the Statutory Liabilities towards the Workmen and Employees), to be paid to each respective person proportionately to their respective dues (Statutory Payments).

10. EXISTING RELATIONSHIP AND FUTURE

(i) Existing affiliation between the Resolution Applicant and the Company a. Topnotch (one of the consortium member) is an existing supplier of raw materials to the Company for past 3 years and shares a cordial relationship with the existing management of the Company. b. It is to be noted that Topnotch had advanced INR 34.50 Lacs to the Company during a very critical situation when the electricity connection of the Company was to be disconnected. Additionally raw materials worth INR 53 Lacs were provided to Company on credit in good faith in the last six months which helped the Company to regularize their working cycle. This act of Topnotch has helped the Company to get out of liquidity crunch and operate business smoothly.

(ii) Proposal Synopsis: a. As per Pharma expert opinion and the experience of Resolution Applicant, the total funds required to set up and run a similar type of a company is around INR 40 Crores, inclusive of construction cost, license & registration acquisition cost, acquisition cost of plant and machineries. Apart from the above amount, working capital finance to be infused additionally. b. However, the Resolution Applicant is keen on buying an existing business on a premium due to the following reasons:

i. The Resolution Applicant will get a readymade business and immediate possession of the plant, whereas it will take at least 3 years for starting the commercial production.

ii. The Resolution Applicant will leverage the existing USFDA, WHO, EDQM, CDSCO and Korean FDA approvals with the Company to increase their market share into different geographic horizons.

iii. The Resolution Applicant will settle the existing employees and workmen dues and will continue to retain the employees of the Company. Thus, this will not impact the livelihood of these employees as they will not lose their job.

(iii) Revival Plan: a. Topnotch, the operating member of the consortium is already into the business of chemical manufacturing and has a set channel of networks / agents all over the consuming centres to market their production. The Resolution Applicant aims to leverage the existing networks and relationships; and to market the additional production after acquisition of the Company. MA 1346 of 2018 in CP No.1554/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017 Page 26 of 48 b. Of the total product range, over 70% of the Company revenues are generated from following 3 product verticals: 1. Anti-Tuberculosis, 2. Anti- Malaria and 3. Antibiotics; which is already a forte for the Resolution Applicant as it has a combined experience of over 25 years in this field of business, thus possessing the requisite knowledge and experience required to succeed in the business of the Company. c. Moreover, the Resolution Applicant plans to retain all the existing employees from erstwhile management by settling their dues. This will help in seamless transition for reviving the Company. d. The Resolution Applicant would also infuse INR 10 Crores for refurbishment of fixed assets and additional INR 37 Crores towards meeting the working capital requirements. e. Topnotch is an existing supplier of intermediate chemicals to the Company and this acquisition will be a forward integration for the Resolution Applicant. f. This will in turn result in having cost synergies for both Company and the Resolution Applicant, which will help the Company in acquiring higher market shares and boosting revenues. g. The total revenue generated for the Company from February 2018 to June 2018 is INR 13.72 Crores and with additional working capital infusion, we project to reach a turnover of INR 165 Crores and EBITDA of INR 16.54 Crores (10.02%) in the 1 year of the takeover of the Company.

(i) Also, we project the average Y-o-Y growth of turnover is 25% for next 5 years to reach turnover of INR 469.94 Crores. Also it will achieve average EBITDA margin of 15% over the period of next 5 years without incurring any additional research and development cost

(ii) Topnotch is currently one of the major suppliers of Lumefantrine drug, and with the additional capacity in the Company, the Resolution Applicant aims to increase their share significantly in market over the next 5 years.

(iii) The Resolution Applicant will not incur any major expenditure towards research and development as the management believes that there is immense potential to market the current product portfolio of the Company, without incurring further sunk costs. The revenue break up for the next five years for the Company is provided in Annexure 9.

MA 1346 of 2018 in CP No.1554/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017 Page 44 of 48

2. Binding Effect:

8. The Resolution Plan, as reproduced above is discussed, however, certain concessions as demanded cannot be granted in toto at this moment because of either uncertainty/contingency or due to lack of corroborative evidence. Reliefs and concessions in respect of licenses, goodwill, permits etc. are required to be used and availed by the incoming management hence liberty is granted to take appropriate action for the transfer in the name of the incoming entity. About the outstanding tax demand the same is to be dealt with as per the respective provisions of law, however, subject to the provisions of the Insolvency Code.

9. The Procedure as prescribed under The Code is that a Resolution Plan is required to be submitted by a Resolution Application U/s 30 of The Code. On approval, the Resolution Professional is to submit U/s 30(6) the Resolution Plan, as MA 1346 of 2018 in CP No.1554/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017 Page 45 of 48 approved by the Committee of Creditors, to the AA. Thereafter, u/s 31, as reproduced supra, AA is to examine the contents of the Resolution Plan. The mandate of this section is that if the AA is satisfied that the Resolution Plan as approved by the Committee of Creditors meets the requirement as referred to in section 30(2), shall by an Order, approve the Resolution Plan. So the prerequisite is that recording of satisfaction by AA is a condition precedent. A satisfaction is to be recorded in writing in the Judgment approving the Resolution Plan. Satisfaction is required to be based upon a conscious decision on examination of the terms of the Resolution Plan. In our humble opinion a thorough study of a Resolution Plan is required before recording a satisfaction in writing by AA. The satisfaction as mandated in the statute can either objective or subjective or both, but it is a condition precedent. Naturally satisfaction is to be recorded in writing with reasons after proper application of mind. The pros and cons of the scheme is required to be studied before recording subjective satisfaction. If the CoC has submitted the scheme of Resolution after visualising the advantage and disadvantage then such proposal can be termed as just and equitable fit for according satisfaction. An objective satisfaction revolves around the object of enactment of the Code as enshrined in the Preamble of the I & B Code i.e. to revive the financially stressed corporate body. And the subjective satisfaction depends upon logical analysis of the Financial Data supplied so as to match with the business model of the Corporate Debtor. A methodical scrutiny of Financial Statement is expected before concurring with approval of the CoC. Per contra, absence of recording of subjective satisfaction may lead to situation that, being sanctioned without judicial analysis, thus may not be sustainable in the eyes of law. There are no two views, and must not be, that this I & B Code provides greater accountability both on the Insolvency Professional, as also on CoC, mainly comprise of lender Banks. Their approval of a Resolution Plan ought to be judged with due diligence. To sum up, in our humble interpretation the recording of an analytical satisfaction is a condition precedent before granting of approval.

10. To sum up the above discussion, the Resolution Plan as approved by the Committee of Creditors is by and large hereby sanctioned by this Order in view of the recent judgment of the apex court in K Sashidhar& Indian Overseas Bank & ors.[Civil Appeal No. 10673/2018], Date of order: 05.02.2019. The Honble Supreme Court in the said order has made the role of COC quite vital for deciding the fate of the company. It has been held that the Adjudicating authority is not required to go into the merits or reasoning of the decision taken by the COC for approval or rejection of a MA 1346 of 2018 in CP No.1554/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017 Page 46 of 48 resolution plan. The only benchmark which is set up to be determined by the AA is to see whether the plan has been approved by 75% voting of the COC or not. Therefore, the commercial wisdom is not allowed to be interfered with. The relevant portion of the said judgment is reproduced herein below: As aforesaid, upon receipt of a rejected resolution plan the adjudicating authority (NCLT) is not expected to do anything more; but is obligated to initiate liquidation process under Section 33(1) of the I&B Code. The legislature has not endowed the adjudicating authority (NCLT) with the jurisdiction or authority to analyse or evaluate the commercial decision of the CoC muchless to enquire into the justness of the rejection of the resolution plan by the dissenting financial creditors. From the legislative history and the background in which the I&B Code has been enacted, it is noticed that a completely new approach has been adopted for speeding up the recovery of the debt due from the defaulting companies. In the new approach, there is a calm period followed by a swift resolution process to be completed within 270 days (outer limit) failing which, initiation of liquidation process has been made inevitable and mandatory. In the earlier regime, the Corporate debtor could indefinitely continue to enjoy the protection given under Section 22 of Sick Industrial Companies Act, 1985 or under other such enactments which has now been forsaken. Besides, the commercial wisdom of the CoC has been given paramount status without any judicial intervention, for ensuring completion of the stated processes within the timelines prescribed by the I&B Code. There is an intrinsic assumption that financial creditors are fully informed about the viability of the corporate debtor and feasibility of theproposed resolution plan. They act on the basis of thorough examination of the proposed resolution plan and assessment made by their team of experts. The opinion on the subject matter expressed by them after due deliberations in the CoC meetings through voting, as per voting shares, is a collective business decision. The legislature, consciously, has not provided any ground to challenge the commercial wisdom of the individual financial creditors or their collective decision before the adjudicating authority. That is made non-justiciable.

11. To conclude, an observation can be made in a situation when a Resolution Plan is approved by the majority voting as per the prescribed percentage by the Members of the CoC the same is required to be accepted/approved by the MA 1346 of 2018 in CP No.1554/I&BC/MB/MAH/2017 Page 47 of 48 Adjudicating Authority. Now this view is taken, because of the latest decision of the Honble Supreme Court, wherein the scope of any suggestion or alteration in the impugned resolution plan is discussed and directions issued. As far as the procedure is concerned, in this case, the same has been followed as per the provisions of the Insolvency Code, therefore, the Resolution Plan has to be approved. The Resolution Applicant has submitted an affidavit as required U/s 30(1) of the Code stating that he is eligible U/s 29A of the Code.

12. Regarding the exemptions sought, Government liabilities and statutory dues, it is worth to observe that the same should be restricted to those Government liabilities which are ascertained and crystallised as on the date when the CIRP commenced. Further, on commencement of CIRP, due to pronouncement of moratorium if any tax is levied, the same can be considered for waiver as held in the decision of NCLT, Chandigarh Bench, in the case of State Bank of India V. MOR Farms Pvt. Ltd. dated 15.06.2018 in CA No.s 71/2018 & 171/2018 in CP(IB)- 51/Chd/Hry/2017 wherein waiver is granted in respect of tax dues.

13. The Resolution Plan is binding on the Corporate Debtor and other stakeholders involved so that revival of the Debtor Company shall come into force with immediate effect and the Moratorium imposed under section 14 shall cease to have any effect henceforth.
