This particular order was challenged by the Appellant Mr Sunil Jain who is the shareholder of the company. A resolution proposal had also been filed by the appellant, but the same was rejected as he was not eligible under Section 29A (c) of Insolvency Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal had held that the Committee of Creditors had correctly dismissed the Resolution Proposal submitted by the Petitioner, Mr Sunil Jain, because he was ineligible under Section29A of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

As far as Shareholders' interests are concerned, the Shareholders' claims had been taken into account by the Successful Resolution Applicant in the Resolution Proposal proposed by him. The NCLAT had held that, in view of the request to take over the shares of the Promoters as authorized by the Adjudicating Body, it was not necessary to comply with the provisions of Sections 56 & 57 of the Companies Act 2013 as a formality which could be done even after the approval of the 'Resolution Plan' at the point of execution of the plan. The Company Appeal was dismissed.
