Hon'ble Supreme Court in M/s Jaypee Kensington Boulevard Apartments
Welfare Associations & Ors. Vs. NBCC (India) Ltd. & Ors. in Civil Appeal No.
3395 of 20202. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the aforesaid judgment held
that the said amendment of sub-regulation (3) of Regulation 39 of CIRP

31 of 33
Regulations insertion of sub-regulation (3A) and (3B) thereto, could only be
visualised as clarificatory in nature and in any case even before amendment
there had not been any prohibition in putting two or more confirming
Resolution Plans to vote simultaneously. The Hon'ble Supreme Court also
clarified the intent of the amendment to the Regulations and the Hon'ble
Supreme Court also did not hold that as per the amended regulation a
fresh/final compliant resolution plans shall be called beyond the time
stipulated under the Code. Further, this Tribunal is of the view that the
amendment is only to consider the feasibility, viability of each plan and not
to call fresh resolution plans (decided by RP) under the guise of final compliant
resolution plan.
