Appoint new CFO for RattanIndia Finance within 60 days, says NCLAT

Appellate tribunal NCLAT on Wednesday set aside an NCLT order and directed to appoint a CFO for non-banking finance company RattanIndia Finance within 60 days. A three-member NCLAT bench said any suggested candidate by the JV partner LSF 10 Rose Investments, under section 140 of the articles of association (AoA) of the company, should be eligible under the provision of section 203 of the Companies Act, which provides for the appointment of Key Managerial Personnel (KMP). The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) also held that NCLT had "committed error" in inferring that provision in article 140 of the AoA does not contemplate that a person's nomination can be considered to be valid or invalid. "The Impugned Order (of NCLT) is, therefore, set aside and the parties are directed to take necessary action for appointment of CFO of the R-2 company (Rattan India Finance) as per article 140 of the AoA, after making valid nominations, keeping in view section 203 of the Companies .

Delhi HC sets aside arbitral award asking Antrix to pay $562 mn to Devas

The Delhi High Court Monday set aside an arbitral award directing ISRO's Antrix Corporation to pay damages of USD 562.2 million with interest to Devas for unlawfully terminating a deal in 2011, saying the award suffered from "patent illegalities and fraud", and was in conflict with the public policy of India. Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva allowed the petition filed by Antrix under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act seeking setting aside of the arbitral award passed on September 14, 2005 by the Arbitral Tribunal constituted by the International Chamber of Commerce which had allowed the claim of Devas Multimedia Private Limited. The high court referred to a January 17, 2022 judgement of the Supreme Court which held that the very seeds of the commercial relationship between Antrix and Devas were a product of fraud perpetrated by Devas and thus every part of the plant that grew out of those seeds, such as the agreement, the disputes, arbitral awards etc., are all infected with the poison o
