Earlier on April 27, the Allahabad bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) admitted the plea filed by the public sector lender PNB to initiate insolvency proceedings against Kanoria Sugar and General Manufacturing Company.

PNB had got the CIRP initiated for dues of Rs 49.65 crore.

The NCLT order was challenged before the NCLAT.
