The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Monday gave JSW Steel Ltd immunity from all criminal investigations after its takeover of Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd, whose assets were sought to be attached by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over alleged bungling by former management.

Billionaire Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Steel had moved the appellate tribunal seeking to extinguish all present and future liabilities on account of criminal investigations against Bhushan Power & Steel, contending that an absence of any such protection would jeopardise the feasibility and viability of its resolution plan. JSW Steel had made the highest bid of Rs 19,700 crore for the takeover of BPSL. While the government had in December amended the insolvency law to ring-fence a corporate debtor, after ..

Bhushan Power resolution plan is likely to be finalised this month

The resolution plan for Bhushan Power and Steel, facing insolvency proceedings, is likely to be finalised this month, the IRP for the firm Mahender Kumar Khandelwal said today. His comments come amid the Indian arm of Belgium-headquartered accounting and advisory firm approaching the Bombay High Court to initiate arbitration proceedings against Khandelwal, who quit BDO India as partner in January to join rival PwC.
