Facts of the Case
In the instant case, the CIRP was initiated by a financial creditor under section 7 of the IBC against the corporate debtor. The Resolution plan (RP) submitted by the successful resolution applicant was approved by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) and the Adjudicating Authority (NCLT).
Subsequently, the NCLAT partly allowed the financial creditor’s appeal. The financial creditor filed an appeal to the Supreme Court, which was later dismissed by the Supreme Court as withdrawn, with the liberty to file a review application.
The NCLAT dismissed the review application as not maintainable under the IBC. The NCLAT had observed that the order passed by the NCLT or NCLAT could not be either reviewed or recalled.
NCLAT Held
Also, the NCLAT by the impugned order held that the power to review is not inherent upon the NCLAT but the power to recall its judgment is inherent as has been declared by rule 11 of the NCLAT Rules, 2016, which can exercised on sufficient grounds.
The Supreme Court, considering views taken by five judges bench of the NCLAT held that there was no reason for interfering with the impugned order of the NCLAT. Therefore, the appeal against the order of the NCLAT was to be dismissed.
