Whether Liquidator is mandated under the Code (IBC) to share a copy of Valuation Report with the ex-director, Shareholder, Guarantor of the Corporate Debtor and member of Stakeholders’ Consultation Committee (SCC) – Kulwinder Singh Makhni, Suspended Director of M/s Punjab Basmati Rice Ltd. Vs. Mr. Sanjay Kumar Aggarwal, Liquidator of M/s Punjab Basmati Rice Ltd. – NCLT Chandigarh Bench

In view of the above discussions, this Bench holds that to enable a Member of Stakeholders’ Consultation Committee to meet the mandate under Regulations 31-A(1) and as laid down in 31-A(5), the copy of the valuation report needs to be shared with the applicant i.e. Member of Stakeholders’ Consultation Committee, as the same would be crucial in determining the reserve price of the asset of the corporate debtor. Regarding confidentiality of the document, the Liquidator can take an undertaking from the applicant to maintain the same as per his powers under Regulation 7(2)(h) of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Professionals) Regulations, 2016, read with paragraph 21 of First Schedule thereto. This could be in the form of a non-disclosure agreement in which Liquidator could be indemnified in case information was not kept strictly confidential. Consequently, IA No.46/2022 is allowed and accordingly stands disposed of.
