Commenting on the proposed amendment, Navod emphasized that the move reinforces the central role of the CoC in the insolvency resolution process. He noted that ensuring CoC involvement at a crucial stage helps maintain fairness and balance among all stakeholders.

“This amendment underscores the primacy of the CoC’s commercial wisdom and ensures that settlements or withdrawal attempts do not undermine the interests of other creditors who are part of the collective insolvency process.
