IBC- Once Resolution Plan Is Approved, No Modifications Are Permissible : Supreme Court

Live Law  

The Supreme Court has held that the declaration made by the NCLT to the effect that the trademarks “Deccan Chronicle” and “Andhra Bhoomi”, which originally belonged to Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd., continues to be under the ownership of DCHL post the approval of resolution plan, would amount to impermissible modification of resolution plan as the same was silent on this aspect. The Clause 11.12 of the Resolution Plan provided that the NCLT would declare that the Corporate Debtor holds perpetual exclusive rights to use the trademarks, namely “Deccan Chronicle” and “Andhra Bhoomi”, without any financial implications. SUPREME COURT VERDICT The Bench observed that when the NCLT approved the resolution plan, the Clause 11.12 stood approved to the extent of Corporate Debtor’s exclusive right to use the two trademarks, without financial implication. On the issue of whether declaration of Corporate Debtor’s ownership on trademarks would modify the resolution plan, the Bench observed as under: “It clearly indicates that what was approved by the CoC with 81.39% of its voting is to the effect that the Corporate Debtor has a perpetual exclusive right to use the brands, namely, “Deccan Chronicle” and “Andhra Bhoomi” and it nowhere indicates regarding the right of ownership over the trademarks/brands, “Deccan Chronicle” and “Andhra Bhoomi” of the Corporate Debtor. But the adjudicating authority while adjudicating application I.A.No.155 of 2018, apart from upholding the exclusive right to use the trademarks, “Deccan Chronicle” and “Andhra Bhoomi”, made a further declaration that trademarks belong to Corporate Debtor/DCHL under its order dated 14th August, 2019, which, in our view, was a modification/alteration in the approved Resolution Plan which indisputably is impermissible in law.” It was further observed that in terms of the approved Resolution Plan, it was the perpetual exclusive right to use the trademarks, “Deccan Chronicle” and “Andhra Bhoomi”, by the Corporate Debtor which were available to SRA, but not the ownership rights of the trademarks of the Corporate Debtor.
