When the Hon’ble Supreme Court by Interim Order dated 26th November, 2018 has stayed the insolvency proceedings which proceedings ultimately were set aside by the final Judgment dated 2nd September, 2019, we are of the view that Resolution Professional is not entitled for any fee after 26th November, 2018. The RP is entitled for fee from 13th June, 2018 to 25th November, 2018 hence the Order of the Adjudicating Authority in Paragraph 17 is modified to the above extent that RP fee shall be entitled to fee from the period 13th June, 2018 to 25th November, 2018. No fee shall be entitled with effect from 26th November, 2018. The order passed in paragraph 17 is modified to this extent. In regard to the Order of expenses as ordered in paragraph 18 of the Impugned Order, we affirm the Order of the Adjudicating Authority in paragraph 18 and the same be paid as directed by the Adjudicating Authority in paragraph 18. The Appeal is partly allowed to the above extent.
