Insolvency appellate tribunal NCLAT has dismissed the plea of Jindal Stainless Ltd, one of the bidders for debt-ridden Mittal Corp, challenging the issuance of a fresh Request for Resolution Plan (RFRP) by the lenders. A two-member NCLAT bench observed the lenders of Mittal Corp were "empowered to issue fresh RFRP" when none of the resolution plans had been approved by the committee of creditors (CoC). The lenders have already approved the bids of rival Shyam Sel and Power Ltd (SSPL) and an application has already been moved by the Resolution Professional (RP) before the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) seeking its approval. NCLAT said issues raised by Jindal Stainless subsequent to February 10, 2023, when RFRP was issued, need no consideration. The tribunal further added it is open for Jindal Stainless to file an objection over the application filed by the RP before NCLT for approval of SSPL bid. The appellate tribunal said that its previous order of Janua

Appellate tribunal NCLAT has upheld the NCLT order to allow Jindal Stainless to participate in the auction of debt-ridden Rathi Super Steel even after a bidder was selected. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) said the NCLT "did not commit any error" as sales were not completed and the object was to obtain the maximisation of the assets, hence it "sees no reason to take a different view". "The Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) did not commit any error in taking note of the offer made by Respondent No 1 (JSL) who made an offer of initial Rs 190 crore and revised offer was Rs 201 crore i.e. much higher than the one on which Appellant was declared successful bidder," the NCLAT said. Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) submitted its Rs 190 crore bid for Rathi Super Steel after the liquidator forwarded the application before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), seeking closure of the liquidation process and approval of terms and conditions of sale to Rimjhim Ispat and Synergy ...
