SC Upholds Commercial Wisdom of CoC in Approving Settlement Plan and Subsequent Withdrawal of CIRP

In Vallal RCK v. Siva Industries & Holdings Ltd.[1], the SC while allowing an application for withdrawal of CIRP under the IBC, held that the adjudicating authority or the appellate authority cannot sit in appeal over the commercial wisdom of the committee of creditors (‘CoC’) unless it is found that the decision of the CoC is wholly capricious, arbitrary, irrational or de hors the provisions of the IBC or its allied rules.
