NCLAT asks ED, CBI and SFIO to clarify JSW Steel’s immunity in BPSL matter
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has asked the investigative agencies like Enforcement Directorate, SFIO and the CBI to file an affidavit clarifying whether JSW Steel, a successful bidder for Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL), is liable for offences committed by the previous management of the debt-laden firm under the amended IBC.
A three-member NCLAT bench headed by Chairperson Justice S J Mukhopadhaya asked the agencies to file their reply affidavits by January 20 stating whether after insertion of section 32 A in the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) last month, JSW Steel has immunity from the alleged fraud committed by the previous BPSL managemet.
