The 26th September, Supreme Court upholds JSW’s efforts to turn Bhushan Power & Steel Limited (BPSL) into a profitable enterprise. The Court stated, “We have held that CCDs issued by SRA are to be treated as equity,” protecting investments.
The Supreme Court conducted final arguments in the Bhushan Power case, focusing on delays in implementing a resolution plan under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. JSW Steel defended the delays as caused by external factors, while promoters disputed this, claiming JSW failed to meet funding arrangements. The court reserved its verdict after intense discussions.
New Delhi: 26th May: The Bhushan Power and Steel Limited (BPSL) case, the Supreme Court of India has temporarily stayed the liquidation proceedings currently pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). This stay comes to allow JSW Steel to file a review petition challenging the Court’s earlier judgment delivered on May 2.
The Supreme Court of India annulled JSW Steel’s ₹19,700 crore resolution plan for Bhushan Power and Steel, declaring it illegal due to violation of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code norms. The court ordered BPSL’s liquidation, emphasizing that delays and non-compliance undermine the IBC’s objectives, despite previous approvals by NCLT and NCLAT.
