New Delhi: The <keyword id="19895345" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="supreme-court" source="keywords">Supreme Court</keyword> on Wednesday said it will hear on September 17 the appeal of US-based creditor Glas Trust Company LLC against a judgment of the <keyword id="19916400" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nclat" source="keywords">NCLAT</keyword>, which had stayed insolvency proceedings against ed-tech firm BYJU's and approved its Rs 158.9 crore dues settlement with the <keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcci" source="keywords">BCCI</keyword>. A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra was urged by a battery of lawyers that the plea be heard urgently keeping in mind the subsequent developments in the case. The plea was mentioned by senior advocate NK Kaul, appearing for the ed-tech major, that the case needed to be heard at the earliest. The submission was supported by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the BCCI, and senior lawyer Abhishek Singhvi, also appearing for the ed-tech firm. Kaul said another plea in the case has also been filed and that is listed for hearing on September 17 and hence, the present plea be either heard on that day or the hearings in both the cases be advanced to this Friday. "We will hear both the pleas on September 17," the CJI said. Senior advocate Shayam Divan, appearing for the US-based creditor, said let the matters be heard together on September 17. Earlier on August 22, the bench had refused to pass an interim order to ensure that the committee of creditors (CoC) does not hold any meeting in pursuance of the insolvency proceedings against the embattled ed-tech firm. It had listed the plea for a final hearing on August 27. The bench had said the developments, which may take place in the meantime, can be negated if it finds there was no merit in the appeal of the US-based creditor against the judgment of appellate insolvency tribunal NCLAT. The plea was mentioned earlier also on August 20 by Byju's and the BCCI and the top court had then also refused to pass an interim order to restrain the Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP) from constituting a committee of creditors (CoC) in the insolvency proceedings against the ed-tech firm. In a major setback to Byju's, the top court had on August 14 stayed the verdict of NCLAT, setting aside the insolvency proceedings against the ed-tech major and approving its Rs 158.9 crore dues settlement with the Indian cricket board. The August 2 verdict of the NCLAT had come as a huge relief for Byju's as it had effectively put its founder Byju Raveendran back in control. The top court, however, had prima facie termed the NCLAT verdict as "unconscionable" and stayed its operation while issuing notices to Byju's and others on the appeal of the ed-tech firm's US-based creditor against the judgment of the insolvency appellate tribunal. The case stemmed from Byju's default on a Rs 158.9 crore payment related to a sponsorship deal with the BCCI. The top court had directed the BCCI to keep a sum of Rs 158 crore it had received from Byju's after a settlement in a separate escrow account till further orders. "Issue notice. Pending further orders there shall be a stay of the impugned order of August 2 of NCLAT. In the meantime, BCCI shall maintain the amount of Rs 158 crore, which shall be realised in pursuance of a settlement, in a separate escrow account until further orders," the bench had said. The NCLAT had approved the Rs 158.9 crore dues settlement with the BCCI and set aside the insolvency proceedings against Byju's. Byju's had entered into a "Team Sponsor Agreement" with the BCCI in 2019. Under the agreement, the ed-tech firm got exclusive rights to display its brand on the Indian cricket team's kit and some other benefits. Byju's had to pay a sponsorship fee. The company met its obligations till the middle of 2022 but defaulted on subsequent payments of Rs 158.9 crore. After insolvency proceedings were initiated, Byju's entered into a settlement with the BCCI. On July 16, the Bengaluru bench of the <keyword id="19902197" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="national-company-law-tribunal" source="keywords">National Company Law Tribunal</keyword> (NCLT) had admitted 'Think and Learn', Byju's parent company, to the insolvency resolution process on a plea filed by the BCCI over default in payment of outstanding dues of almost Rs 158.9 crore. While suspending the board of the ed-tech firm, the NCLT had appointed an interim resolution professional to run the operations of the company, suspended the company's board of directors, and brought it under moratorium by freezing its assets. The US-based lenders suspected that the settlement amount was being diverted from the credit they had extended to Byju's.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra was urged by senior advocate NK Kaul, appearing for the ed-tech major, that the case needed to be heard at the earliest.

"I will get it listed as early as possible," the CJI, who was indisposed and in quarantine for the last few days, said. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the US-based creditor, said it also wanted an early hearing.

The matter was listed on Monday before a two-member Chennai-based bench of the NCLAT comprising Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma, Member (Judicial), and Jatindranath Swain, Member (Technical). However, Justice Sharma recused himself from the hearing, saying he had appeared as the counsel for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (<keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BCCI" meta.hostid="345" meta.entityid="BCCI">BCCI</keyword>) before his elevation. "I have appeared as a senior counsel for (the) BCCI. Since they are the main beneficiaries of this order, I cannot take this up," said Sharma. The Bengaluru bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (<keyword id="19901085" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NCLT" source="keywords">NCLT</keyword>) on July 16 directed Corporate Insolvency Resolution Proceedings (CIRP), admitting the plea filed by the BCCI. The BCCI had approached the NCLT under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) over a default of Rs 158.9 crore by Think &amp; Learn -- once India's most valuable startup worth an estimated $22 billion. NCLT has suspended the board of Think &amp; Learn Pvt Ltd as per the provisions of the IBC and had appointed an interim resolution professional (IRP) to take care of the debt-ridden firm. Raveendran challenged the NCLT order before the appellate tribunal NCLAT. He has also approached the Karnataka High Court. The high court had, on July 26 deferred Raveendran's plea to July 30. At the high court, Raveendran challenged the validity of the order and suspension of the NCLT order till the NCLAT hears the appeal.

SMBC Aviation Capital moves NCLAT challenging NCLT order allowing insolvency Go First

New Delhi, The <keyword id="6396354" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="national-company-law-appellate-tribunal" source="Orion">National Company Law Appellate Tribunal</keyword> (<keyword id="6396355" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nclat" source="Orion">NCLAT</keyword>) has stayed a <keyword id="47183" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cci" source="Orion">CCI</keyword> order that imposed a penalty on state-owned power producer <keyword id="45179" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ntpc" source="Orion">NTPC</keyword> for not disclosing the acquisition of 35.47 per cent equity share capital in Ratnagiri Gas &amp; Power Private Ltd. The Competition Commission of India on August 22, 2023, imposed a penalty of Rs 40 lakh on NTPC for non-disclosure of its acquisition of 35.47 per cent of the equity share capital in Ratnagiri Gas &amp; Power Private Ltd (RGPPL). This was challenged by NTPC before the NCLAT, which is an appellate authority over the orders passed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI). A two-member bench directed to list the matter on February 27, 2024, for the next hearing on NTPC's appeal and stayed the operation of order passed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI). "Till next date of hearing the operation of the impugned order dated 22.08.2023 passed by the CCI shall remained stayed," said NCLAT passed earlier this week. NCLAT directed CCI to file a reply over NTPC appeal within four weeks and rejoinder, if any by the power producer, to be filed within four weeks thereafter. NTPC had acquired 35.47 per cent of the equity share capital of RGPPL without notification to the CCI, increasing its stake from 25.51 per cent to 60.98 per cent. Later, CCI on October 27, 2022, issued a notice or failure to notify the transaction under combination regulation. CCI was of the opinion that the transaction in question was a notifiable transaction. However, NTPC had submitted that the acquisition of an additional 35.47 per cent stake in RGPPL was a part of the resolution plan for the settlement of the outstanding debt of RGPPL. Moreover, the final goal of the said transaction was not to acquire equity shares or control, but to settle RGPPL's debt. NTPC also did not acquire any additional rights and enjoys joint control in RGPPL along with GAIL and Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd even on consummation of the transaction, said PSU. However, rejecting this, CCI held that by failure to notify the transaction before its consummation has resulted in violation of provisions of Section 6(2) of the Competition Act and therefore, is liable to a penalty under Section 43A of the Competition Act and imposed a fine of Rs 40 lakh. This was subsequently challenged by NTPC before NCLAT.

The <keyword id="6354977" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="supreme-court" source="Orion">Supreme Court</keyword> on Monday came down heavily on two members of <keyword id="6396355" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="nclat" source="Orion">NCLAT</keyword> who were issued contempt notice for defying an order of the apex court. After going through the relevant CCTV footage of the NCLAT proceedings from October 13, a bench headed by <keyword id="6363345" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cji" source="Orion">CJI</keyword> D.Y. Chandrachud and comprising Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said that there exists a "clear intention" to breach the directions passed by the Supreme Court. In view of the unconditional apology tendered by Member (Technical) Dr Alok Srivastava, the bench decided to put an end to contempt proceedings. During the hearing, the top court was apprised by senior advocate P.S. Patwalia that Member (Judicial) Rakesh Kumar -- who was part of the contentious bench of NCLAT -- has tendered his resignation to the Chairman of the appellate tribunal. Senior advocate Patwalia, who represented Member (Judicial) Rakesh Kumar, said that members of the bench had no intention to defy the orders passed by the apex court and there is no affront or ego involved. At this, CJI D.Y. Chandrachud said: "There is no denial of the fact that the lawyers did point out (before NCLAT bench) that an order was passed by the Supreme Court." In its order, the apex court directed <keyword id="227293" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="deepak-chhabria" source="Orion">Deepak Chhabria</keyword> and the scrutiniser to deposit costs of Rs 1 crore and Rs 10 lakh, respectively, in the Prime Minister Relief Fund for misusing the process of law. Earlier on October 18, the Supreme Court had issued contempt notice to two members for "wilfully" defying directions passed by it. The top court had also set aside the judgment passed by the two-member bench of the NCLAT saying that parties cannot take recourse to "devious" means to obviate compliance with the orders passed by the Supreme Court. On October 13, the top court ordered the Chairperson of the NCLAT to conduct an inquiry into the working of a bench of the appellate tribunal which allegedly defied an order of the Supreme Court. It had said that it is passing the order in "extraordinary circumstances" where the two-member bench of the NCLAT proceeded to pronounce the judgment despite the clear mandate of the order passed by the Supreme Court asking the appellate tribunal to declare "its judgment in the pending appeal after it is duly apprised of the fact that the result of the Annual General Meeting has been declared". Senior advocates <keyword id="106922" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="abhishek-manu-singhvi" source="Orion">Abhishek Manu Singhvi</keyword> and N.K. Kaul had apprised the top court that the bench consisting of Rakesh Kumar and Dr Alok Srivastava of the NCLAT proceeded to deliver the order despite request made by the petitioner before the appellate tribunal to not deliver the judgment until the report of the scrutiniser is made available. "If what is stated is correct, this will clearly constitute the defiance of the order of this court by the NCLAT," the Supreme Court had said, noting that its order was uploaded at 1.55 p.m. while the scrutiniser's report was stated to be uploaded at 2.40 p.m.

NCLAT on Friday deferred the matter pertaining to Go First lessors' petition seeking a stay on a bankruptcy court order allowing voluntary insolvency of the low-cost airline to Monday. On May 10, the NCLT admitted Go First's plea for voluntary insolvency and admitted for the initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) proceedings. NCLT has granted Go First protection under a moratorium from recovery by lessors and lenders. NCLT, in its order, said, "We admit the plea of Go Airlines for insolvency proceedings. It said that we appoint Abhilash Lal as IRP (insolvency resolution professional)." "The suspended board of directors will cooperate with the IRP. Suspended directors are also ordered to deposit Rs 5 crore to make the immediate expenses," the order stated. The budget airline had also cancelled all the flights' operations till May 19 due to operational reasons, "Go First flights until 19th May 2023 are cancelled. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and request customers." US-based jet manufacturers Pratt and Whitney (P-W) has defended itself against the budget airline's claim that P-W is responsible for the financial condition and bankruptcy. "Go First's allegations that Pratt and Whitney is responsible for its financial condition are without merit. Pratt and Whitney will vigorously defend itself against Go's claims, and is pursuing its own legal recourse," Pratt and Whitney spokesperson told ANI. The airline, owned by the troubled Wadia Group, had earlier blamed P-W for the faulty engines that led to its ongoing financial crisis and it was later forced to file an involuntary bankruptcy petition.

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal to hear Go First lessors' plea today

In probably the first case of a Big Tech giant paying a penalty to the Indian regulators as the government aims to bring a new Digital India Act, <keyword id="6355629" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="google" source="Orion">Google</keyword> has paid the entire penalty amount of Rs 1,337.76 crore imposed by the Competition Commission of India (<keyword id="47183" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cci" source="Orion">CCI</keyword>) in the <keyword id="16080839" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="android-case" source="Orion">Android case</keyword>. Reliable sources told IANS on Tuesday that the entire penalty amount has been deposited in the Consolidated Fund of India, within the 30-day deadline given by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (<keyword id="6396355" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nclat" source="Orion">NCLAT</keyword>) in its order. The Indian market regulator imposed a penalty on Google in October 2022 for allegedly exploiting its dominant position in the <keyword id="6355645" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="android" source="Orion">Android</keyword> market. Earlier this year, Google announced to comply with the CCI's directives for Android. "The CCI's recent directives for Android and Play require us to make significant changes for India, and we've informed the CCI of how we will be complying with their directives," Google said in a statement. "We're updating the Android compatibility requirements to introduce changes for partners to build non-compatible or forked variants," said Google. Through user choice billing, developers can offer users the option to choose an alternative billing system alongside Google Play's billing system when purchasing in-app digital content. The changes came as a Supreme Court bench said that the findings by the CCI cannot be said to be "without jurisdiction or with manifest error" and affirmed the NCLAT order, declining to grant interim relief to Google. The bench directed the NCLAT to dispose of Google's appeal by March 31 and granted Google seven days to deposit 10 per cent of the Rs 1,337.76 crore penalty imposed by the CCI. Google had alleged that the CCI copy-pasted parts of a European court order without examining associated evidence in India. The CCI has also imposed a penalty of Rs 936.44 crore on Google in a separate case for abusing its dominant position with respect to its Play Store policies. In response to Google's announcement of implementing its new Google Play payments policy, the Alliance of Digital India Foundation (ADIF) had expressed deep concern over the policy change and has demanded that the new policies must be put on hold, since Google charging a nearly 30 per cent service fee on app developers will prove to be a significant blow to the Indian startup ecosystem.
