Adanis' Rs 650-crore offer for debt-ridden Dighi Port gets NCLT nod

The NCLT has approved Rs 650-crore resolution plan submitted by Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) for debt-ridden Dighi Port, located south of Mumbai. The resolution came with a huge 79.2 per cent haircut to the lenders, as they had made a claim of Rs 3,098 crore. The successful bid will give the Adanis access to Maharashtra, where it had no presence, even though the group straddles the entire coastline of the country with 11 operational ports and an under-construction transshipment terminal at Vizhinjam in southern Kerala. It can be noted that Dighi Port was the first port to go for a bankruptcy in April 2018. The 16-member committee of creditors (CoC) led by Bank of India, which collectively have 99.68 per cent voting shares, has approved APSEZ's revised offer of an upfront cash payout of Rs 650 crore, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) said in an order dated March 5. Dighi Port, promoted by industrialist Vijay Kalantri owes Rs 3,098 crore to the lenders. He had

'Delay in appeal': NCLAT dismisses DoT's plea in Aircel moratorium issue

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed the telecom department's plea citing delay in appeal against the NCLT order which held that the spectrum and licence of debt-ridden Aircel cannot be taken away during the insolvency resolution period. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had appealed against an order of the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). In its plea, the DoT raised the issue as whether licence/spectrum to run a telecom company could be subject to moratorium during the insolvency proceedings or not. However, a three-member bench of the NCLAT held that the petition filed by the DoT was time barred under the provisions of Section 61 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Under the IBC, any appeal against order passed by the NCLT could be filed before the appellate tribunal within 30 days and the delay which can be condoned for reasonable cause in the NCLAT is only 15 days. "This appeal was presented on February 20,

A two-member bench comprising Justice Bansi Lal Bhat and Shreesha Merla observed that plea for liquidation of Lakshmi Cotsyn is pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on the pretext of one or the other miscellaneous application being filed in the matter. "Such conduct on the part of different characters cannot be permitted to thwart the course of insolvency resolution proceedings under I&B Code," it said. "Having regard to the object of the statute and to protect the interests of all stakeholders, we request the Learned Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) to take up the liquidation application for disposal at the earliest and make all possible endeavours to pass appropriate orders thereon within 10 days," said the NCLAT order dated March 3.

NCLT allows MCA's plea to reopen CG Power's accounts from FY15 to FY19

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Thursday allowed a government petition seeking to reopen CG Power and Industrial Solutions accounts from 2014-15 to 2018-19. The corporate affairs ministry had filed an application in the NCLT seeking the appointment of an independent auditor to reopen the accounts of CG Power & Industrial Solution from 2014-15 to 2018-19. The ministry in its prayer had said the reopening of the books of accounts is needed to bring out the truth in the larger public interest. The Mumbai-bench -- comprising members Bhaskara Pantula Mohan and Rajesh Sharma -- in its order also directed the government not to rely on the report by Vaish Associates, and asked them to conduct a separate investigation. The tribunal also denied CG Power & Industrial Solution founder Gautam Thapar's plea to grant stay on the order. Earlier in January, the NCLT had quashed the audit report submitted by Vaish Associates, terming it bogus. Thapar was sacked based on this report,
