 Whether a Home Buyer individually oppose to Resolution Plan when the Home Buyers as a class has voted by a majority in favour of the Plan – Jyotsna Kailash Veera Vs. Mr. Manish Motilal Jaju – NCLT Mumbai Bench

ONJULY 21, 2023

The Adjudicating Authority held that in the light of what has been held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the Jaypee Kensington Boulevard Apartments Vs. NBCC (India) Limited and others (2021) ibclaw.in 63 SC it becomes abundantly clear that Home Buyers can vote for or against the Plan only as a class and if there are some Home Buyers pitted against the Resolution Plan, who are otherwise in minority, absolutely no locus to oppose the Plan in the capacity of dissatisfied Home Buyers. It is also abundantly clear that such dissenting minority segment within the class of Home Buyers cannot arrogate themselves to be dissenting Financial Creditors. That being the legal position, which is explained in unequivocal terms by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jaypee Kensingtons case, in our considered view, any objection raised by the socalled minority Home Buyers raising objection against the Plan, which have been approved by them as a class, cannot be entertained and are liable to be rejected at the very threshold without going through the merit of such objections
