NCLAT junks takeover of Videocon by Twin Star

New Delhi, January 5

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Wednesday set aside an order of the Mumbai Bench of NCLT approving Anil Aggarwal-led Twin Star Technologies’ bid for Videocon Group.

A two-member Bench of Jarat Kumar Jain and Ashok Kumar Mishra said provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) have not been complied with during the corporate insolvency resolution process of Videocon.

“In view of the analysis of facts and law, we have come to the conclusion that section ... of the code (IBC) has not been complied with. Hence the approval of the resolution plan is not in accordance with Section 31 of the code. Accordingly, the approval of the resolution of the plan by CoC and the designated authority (NCLT) is set aside,” the tribunal said. — PTI
