The Crux

The IBC's time-bound architecture and the binding nature of the resolution process leave no general power for unilateral withdrawal of a plan after CoC approval.

What the Court held

The Supreme Court rejected a unilateral attempt to withdraw or modify a resolution plan after approval by the Committee of Creditors, emphasising the statutory framework and certainty required by the IBC.

Why it matters

The judgment matters to bidders, lenders, resolution professionals and stakeholders assessing deal certainty after a plan has crossed critical statutory stages.
