"The Adjudicating Authority may allow the withdrawal of application admitted under section 7 or section 9 or section 10, on an application made by the applicant with the approval of ninety percent. voting share of the committee of creditors, in such manner, as may be specified."
Section 12A was to be read with Regulation 30A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 which provided that an application for withdrawal under section 12A shall be submitted to the interim resolution professional or the resolution professional before issue of invitation for expression of interest under regulation 36A.
