Facts of the Case

In the instant case, the CIRP was initiated against the corporate debtor and resolution plans were received. A resolution plan of the resolution applicant was approved by the CoC of the corporate debtor with majority votes and the same was also approved by the Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) vide the impugned order.

The appellant, Excise Department, filed an instant appeal challenging approval of the said plan on the ground that the corporate debtor owed towards default in payment of Central Excise Duty, interest and penalty as per Central Excise Returns filed with the appellant department and provisions of the said plan only earmarked 0.13% towards Government dues, which was unfair.
