Case Overview

This is an appeal (Company Appeal (AT) (CH) (Ins) No.132/2025) filed by Rahul Devarabhotla and nine other appellants against Prasanna Kumar Rath (the Resolution Professional of Value Designbuild Pvt. Ltd.) and two other respondents. The matter concerns insolvency proceedings against Value Designbuild Pvt. Ltd. During the hearing, the appellant's counsel submitted that although they had not been formally served with a copy of a memo concerning the assignment of debt by M/s.

Consequently, the appellant sought an adjournment to file an application for the substitution of parties, which is required due to this assignment of debt.
