Once CoC Approves Resolution Plan Then No Claim Is To Be Entertained: NCLAT
Live LawThe NCLAT New Delhi bench of Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain, Mr. Barun Mitra and Mr. Indevar Pandey have reiterated that once the Committee of Creditor has approved the resolution plan, then no claim is to be entertained. Counsel for the Respondent stated that IBC is a time-bound process and drew attention to the case of M/s RPS Infrastructure Ltd. vs. Mukul Kumar & Anr., wherein it was held that no claims can be entertained after the CoC approves the resolution plan. Observations: The Tribunal noted that the Appellant filed the claim much after when the members of the CoC approved the plan submitted by the resolution applicant. The Tribunal relied upon the dicta of the Supreme Court in M/s RPS Infra which held that once the CoC has approved the plan then no claim is to be entertained.
