CASE LAWS
Kannan Tiruvengadam RP for EMC Ltd. (NCLT KOLKATA)
• Whether Re-evaluation/ fresh valuation could be done by corporate debtor to determine
the fair vale?
• There is no provision in the code for revaluation, much less if a plan has already been
received and its value was now known to the CoC, as the same would be an
infringement on the commercial wisdom of the CoC and can be regarded only as a
change of frame of reference, without changing anything on the ground situation. Hence
the Adjudicating Authority cannot at this stage could have directed for a fresh valuation
of the assets of the CD. The application was hence disposed and rejected.
CASE LAWS
Indian Bank Vs. Charu Desai Erstwhile RP & Chairman of Monitoring
Committee of GB Global Ltd. & Anr. (NCLAT NEW DELHI)
• Whether the decision of the CoC to obtain a more recent Valuation
Report and reliance on such Valuation Report is contrary to the
provisions of the Code and Regulations framed thereunder?
CASE LAWS
Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited Vs. RP of Universal Buildwell Pvt. Ltd. (NCLAT
New Delhi)
• Whether Liquidation value found by the Registered Valuers can or cannot be
allowed to be changed by CoC?
• The liquidation value arrived by the valuers serves an important factor in the
entire resolution process and cannot be ignored in the resolution process.
• It is true that CoC on any valid reason can take a call to ask for any fresh
valuation due to any relevant circumstances, but the valuation done by the
Registered Valuers and average of liquidation value taken up by the Valuers
serves the specific purpose and cannot be allowed to be disregarded bothe CoC.
