The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal has declined to lift the stay on the NCLT order, barring amendment of the Articles of Association of Aakash Educational Services, a subsidiary of the debt-ridden edtech major Byju.
Disposing the petitions moved by Manipal Health Systems and Aakash Educational Services, the Chennai bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Friday asked them to file applications before the National Company Law Tribunal for vacating the order passed on November 20, 2024.
