## Summary

### Background

The case involves an application (MA-867/2019) by the Resolution Professional (RP) seeking an order under Section 33 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (I&B Code). The Committee of Creditors (COC) did not accept the modified resolution plan submitted by the sole Resolution Applicant.

The financial debt is approximately Rs. 85.87 Crores, and the liquidated value is assessed at Rs. 4.5 Crores.
