Claims Not Part of Resolution Plan Get Extinguished on Approval of the Resolution Plan

The Supreme Court in Ghanashyam Mishra and Sons Private Ltd. v. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Private Limited[1] held that the resolution plan, once approved, stands frozen, and will be binding on the corporate debtor and its employees, members, creditors, including the Central Government, any State Government or any local authority, guarantors and other stakeholders. It was further held that any debt with respect to the payment of dues arising under any applicable law, including an amount owed to the Central Government, any State Government or any local authority, which does not form a part of the approved resolution plan, will stand extinguished upon approval of the resolution plan, and no person will be entitled to initiate or continue any proceedings in relation to such a claim.
