 "Bombay High Court")
The Bombay High Court on Friday extended deadline for execution of merger of scam-hit National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL) with parent Financial Technologies (India) (FTIL) by over a month on request from the government counsel.
The government has sought time to study the amended writ petition filed by FTIL for reply after the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) ordered the said merger last month and FTIL approached the court for 'stay'.
The MCA, in first such instance, ordered force merger of NSEL with FTIL arguing early settlement of dues.
