                                JUDGMENT

The prayers in this writ petition, after amendment, are as under;

"1.To issue a writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate writ and quash Exhibit P-17 and P-18 orders and direct 1 st Respondent to pass appropriate orders after hearing all parties and affording and opportunity to file written objections.
2. To issue a writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate writ and quash Exhibit P-20 order as being arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India and Exhibit P-9 order of the Supreme Court.
3. To issue a writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate writ and quash Exhibit P-23 order being arbitrary and violative of the rule of bias under the principles of natural justice.
4. To issue a Writ of Mandamus or such other writ or order not to pass any other orders amending/modifying Exhibit P-10 order passed by the 1st Respondent violating Exhibit P-9 order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and violating the provisions of the WP(C).No.36441/2024 10 2025:KER:28619 Companies Act, 2013 during the pendency of Company Appeal (AT) 6/2024 before the Hon'ble NCLAT.
5. To issue a writ of Mandamus to the R-25 directing him to illegally stop making illegal demands of his salary and remuneration from the account of the 5th petitioner company as against the directions in Exhibit P-11 order where R-10 company is directed to pay his salary and remuneration."

2. The essential facts, as stated in the writ petition, are as follows;

The 1st petitioner was chosen as the sculptor for the Jatayu sculpture at Jatayupara in Chadayamangalam, Kollam District vide G.O (Rt) No. 1640/06/TSM. Thereafter, vide G.O (M.S) No. 52/11/TSM, the Government of Kerala permitted the 1 st petitioner to raise funds for completion of the project through private participation. In furtherance of Exhibits P1 and P2 Orders, the Government of Kerala executed Ext.P3 concession agreement, giving exclusive rights to the 5 th petitioner company to Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) the Jatayupara Tourism Project for 30 years and to raise finances for completion of the WP(C).No.36441/2024 11 2025:KER:28619 project. Accordingly, on 23.09.2015, a bipartite agreement was entered into between the 5th petitioner company and the 10 th respondent Jatayupara Tourism Pvt. Ltd. ('JTP Pvt.Ltd.' for short). Another tripartite agreement was executed on the very same date between the 5th petitioner and the 10th and 11th respondents. As per the bipartite agreement, the 10 t h respondent had to allot 45% of equity shares to the 5 th petitioner company as consideration for granting the right to operate the Jatayupara Tourism Project. As 45% of shares in the 10th respondent were not allotted to the 5 th petitioner as stipulated in the agreement, the shareholding of the 5th petitioner got diluted to below 1% (One percent). Therefore, the bipartite and tripartite agreements were terminated by the 5th petitioner company. As a counterblast to the cancellation of the agreements, respondents 2 to 9, who are the shareholders and board members of the 10th respondent company, instituted Company Petition 21/KOB/2020 before the National Company Law Tribunal, Kochi Bench alleging oppression, WP(C).No.36441/2024 12 2025:KER:28619 mismanagement and siphoning of funds by the petitioners herein. While the company petition was pending, the 1 st respondent Tribunal passed Ext.P8 order dated 07.06.2022, directing the petitioners to deposit the revenue from the running of the project in a separate ESCROW account and not to utilize the same. Since Exhibit P8 placed an absolute prohibition against the use of the revenue from the project, even essential payments, the order was challenged by the petitioners before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. The NCLAT disposed of the appeal by directing the 1st respondent to hear and dispose of the company petition within a period of four weeks. Aggrieved, the petitioners approached the Supreme Court by filing Civil Appeal No.9091 of 2022 and vide Ext.P9 order, the Apex Court disposed of the appeal by permitting the petitioners to file an application before the NCLT for disbursal of the essential payments. Accordingly, petitioners preferred an application and the NCLT passed Ext.P10 order dated 13.01.2023, appointing an independent Chartered WP(C).No.36441/2024 13 2025:KER:28619 Accountant (R26) to verify the genuineness of the amounts sought to be withdrawn from the account of the company to meet the essential, operational and statutory expenses required for running the Jatayupara Tourism Project. While matters stood thus, the NCLT passed Ext.P11 order dated 22.12.2023, appointing the 25th respondent as the Administrator to control, supervise and superintend the Board of Directors of the 10 th respondent company. The petitioners challenged Ext.P11 before the NCLAT and while the appeal was pending, the NCLT passed Exts.P17 and P18 orders, directing the independent Chartered Accountant to serve copy of periodical reports on the Administrator appointed by the Tribunal. The Chartered Accountant and Administrator were, in turn, required to recommend measures for the efficient running of the Jatayupara Tourism Project. Accordingly, a memo containing the recommendations was filed on 15.10.2024. By Ext.P20 order dated 22.10.2024, the Tribunal accepted the recommendations and issued specific directions for managing WP(C).No.36441/2024 14 2025:KER:28619 the revenue and accounts of the Project. Ext.P23 is another direction issued by the Tribunal requiring the Chartered Accountant and Administrator to make joint recommendations.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the 26th respondent was appointed based on the application filed by the petitioners pursuant to Exhibit P-9 order of the Supreme Court. The duties and powers of the 26th respondent are detailed in Exhibit P10 order, viz; to verify and disburse essential payments. Likewise, appointment of the 25th respondent by Exhibit P11 order is for the limited purpose of administering the affairs of the 10 th respondent company. Under the cover of Exhibits P17 and P18 directions of the Tribunal, the 25th respondent is attempting to take over the running of the Jatayupara Tourism Project, which is a Government project entrusted with the 5th petitioner. Exhibits P17, P18, P20 and P23 orders of the NCLT amounts to review of its earlier orders, for which the tribunal has no power. Ext.P11 order is under challenge before the NCLAT and there is a WP(C).No.36441/2024 15 2025:KER:28619 specific bar under Section 420 of the Companies Act, 2013 against making amendments to any order under appeal. Moreover, Exhibit P-17 and Exhibit P-18 orders are passed without hearing the petitioners, even though the orders affect the substantial rights granted to the 5th petitioner by the Government of Kerala. Exhibit P-20 order of the NCLT is in violation of Exhibit P-9 order. Exhibit P-23 order is also contrary to the earlier directions issued by the Tribunal. Further, Exhibit P- 23 and Exhibit P-24 orders are vitiated by the rule against bias as the 25th respondent was permitted to make recommendations with respect to his own salary and remuneration.

4. Learned counsel appearing for respondents 2 to 19 put forth the following common contentions;

The writ petition is not maintainable in view of the efficacious remedy of appeal available to the petitioners under Section 421 of the Companies Act, 2013. As against Ext.P11, the petitioners have already preferred an appeal before the NCLT. Petitioner Nos. 6 to 8 companies are formed with the intent of WP(C).No.36441/2024 16 2025:KER:28619 siphoning funds from the JTP Pvt.Ltd. through inter-corporate loans without interest. The extent of oppression and mismanagement is evident from Ext.P11 order of the Tribunal. Being convinced that the Directors of JTP Pvt.Ltd. should be restrained from continuing the illegal activities, the Tribunal had appointed respondent No.25 as the Administrator. The misuse of funds had earlier prompted the Tribunal to appoint an independent Chartered Accountant to verify the necessity and genuineness of payments essential for running JTP Pvt.Ltd. resulting in the appointment of the respondent No.26. By Exts.P17 and P18, the Tribunal only directed the Administrator to verify the periodical reports of the Chartered Accountant which, by no stretch of imagination, can be perceived as review or modification of Exts.P10 and P11. On the other hand, it is only an attempt to ensure accountability in the financial transactions. The allegation that Exts.P17 and 18 were passed without hearing the petitioners is baseless, as sufficient and more opportunities were given by the Tribunal. Moreover, the said respondents had WP(C).No.36441/2024 17 2025:KER:28619 not raised any such contention before the Tribunal, as would be evident from a reading of Ext.P20 order. In any case, the direction given by the Tribunal to the Administrator and Chartered Accountant, to sit together and submit their recommendations for the efficient running of the JTP Pvt.Ltd., will not give rise to any cause of action for the petitioners to seek invocation of this Court's extra ordinary power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

5. Learned counsel appearing for the 10th respondent submitted that the impugned orders are passed in the interest of all concerned, whereas the writ petition is filed with the mala fide intention of covering up the illegalities committed by the petitioners and in an attempt to continue their actions. It is pointed out that the petitioners had earlier approached this Court challenging order dated 20.03.2024 filed by the Administrator and for a direction to the Tribunal not to pass orders amending Ext.P11 order. That writ petition (W.P.(C).No.13448 of 2024) was disposed of, recording the submission that the application for WP(C).No.36441/2024 18 2025:KER:28619 modification of Ext.P11 had been withdrawn and directing the Tribunal to reconsider the order dated 20.03.2024, after hearing the parties. Thereafter, the petitioners moved a contempt case against the Administrator and independent Chartered Accountant alleging that by releasing salary and withdrawing other amounts, they had violated this Court's directions. The Contempt Case was disposed of by taking note of the submissions made on behalf of the respondents that after the judgment of this Court, the matter was listed before the NCLT on many occasions, and after detailed hearing the NCLT had passed an order directing the independent Chartered Accountant and Administrator to sit together and submit their recommendations for the efficient running of the project, including the remuneration payable. The fact is that, in accordance with the direction, a joint memo was filed on 15.10.2024, based on which the Tribunal had passed a comprehensive order on 22.10.2024. While disposing the contempt case this Court observed that, insofar as the joint memo (report) was filed on the directions issued by the NCLT, there is WP(C).No.36441/2024 19 2025:KER:28619 nothing contemptuous about it and if the petitioners have any grievance regarding the report filed before the NCLT, they should take up the matter before the Tribunal itself. It is contented that the present writ petition filed without revealing the order passed in the contempt case is liable to be rejected for suppression of material facts.

6. Learned Special Government Pleader appearing for respondents 13 and 14 submitted that Jatayapura Tourism Project is a major BOT project contracted between the State of Kerala and petitioners 1 and 5. When the BOT contract was entered, JTP Pvt.Ltd was not in existence and, as such, there is no privity of contract between the State of Kerala and the shareholders of JTP Pvt.Ltd. The definite stand of the Government is that the 1 st and 5th petitioners alone are entitled to design, execute and market the Project for the concession period of 30 years. Interference by the Tribunal in the form of appointment of Administrator and independent Chartered Accountant at the instance of the shareholders and Board Members of JTP Pvt.Ltd., WP(C).No.36441/2024 20 2025:KER:28619 is affecting the interest of the Government also.

7. In reply to the contention that the writ petition is not maintainable, the learned counsel for the petitioner placed reliance on the Apex Court decision in Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited v. Union of India and Others [2023 (5) SCALE 239], with specific emphasis on paragraph 47, wherein it is held that alternative remedy need not stand in the way of the writ courts exercising the plenary power when principles of natural justice are violated. It is contended that the impugned orders having been passed without hearing the petitioners, the writ petition is maintainable.

8. As held by the Apex Court in Swiss Ribbons Private Limited and Another v. Union of India and Others [(2019) 4 SCC 17], and series of other decisions, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is enacted with the objective of consolidating the laws relating to the reorganisation and insolvency resolution of corporate persons. The very purpose of the enactment will be defeated if the constitutional courts start interfering with the WP(C).No.36441/2024 21 2025:KER:28619 proceedings and orders passed by the NCLT at every stage, more so, when Section 421 of the Companies Act provides an appeal to NCLAT against the order of the NCLT. In the case at hand, the petitioners have preferred appeal against Ext.P11 order. The challenge on the ground that opportunity of hearing was not provided also cannot be countenanced, since sufficient opportunity is seen granted. In fact, even in the judgment passed in Contempt Case No.2967 of 2024, this Court has recorded that the Company Petition along with the Applications was posted for hearing on 30.05.2024, 13.06.2024, 25.06.2024, 30.07.2024 and 29.08.2024. The challenge against Ext.P20 is liable to be rejected also for the reason that, in the Contempt Case, this Court had directed the petitioner to move the Tribunal itself, if they have any grievance about the joint report of the Administrator and Chartered Accountant. As contended by the Counsel for the 10th respondent, the non-production of a copy of the order passed in COC No.2967 of 2024 can only be perceived as an attempt to suppress material facts. The contention that the WP(C).No.36441/2024 22 2025:KER:28619 impugned orders amount to review of Exts.P10 and P11 cannot also be countenanced, since the discretion is vested with the Tribunal to pass necessary orders to ensure proper functioning of the Project till the company petition is decided. The contention based on Section 420 is rejected as baseless, since none of the impugned orders amounts to amendment of Ext. P11.

For the aforementioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed.
