👉 The National Company Law Tribunal, Principal Bench at New Delhi, has directed the Central Government to constitute a special committee to look into the functioning of the Delhi Gymkhana Club.

The Principal Bench headed by Acting President BSV Prakash Kumar has further directed the General Committee of the Club to not carry out the following activities:

proceed with any construction on site make any policy decision make any changes to the Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association utilise funds received from members conduct balloting

The General Committee, however, is allowed to carry out the day to day functions of the club by utilising funds other than the fee collected from the members.

The order has come in a company petition moved by the Ministry of Corporate Affairsagainst the General Committee of the Delhi Gymkhana Club under section 241(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, alleging that the affairs of the club are being conducted in manners prejudicial to the public interest.

Therefore, the Central Government has sought Tribunal's direction to allow it to nominate 15 persons as Directors on the General Committee of the Club to manage the affairs of it and report to this Tribunal on such matters as it may direct, including restructuring of the Club.


👉 The Enforcement Directorate has challenged the jurisdiction of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in directing the agency to release the assets of Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd (BPSL) it had attached. It also objected to the tribunal applying retroactively a law that gives immunity to the buyers of bankrupt assets from investigations against previous promoters.

The central agency’s move comes after BPSL’s committee of creditors (CoC) asked JSW Steel to implement the resolution plan it had proposed for the bankrupt company. The CoC had moved the Supreme Court earlier this month seeking direction on implementing the resolution plan. On June 24, the ED filed an affidavit in the top court opposing the request.

A senior JSW Steel executive said the Supreme Court had asked all the parties in the last hearing to file their submissions within two weeks, in response to an application filed by JSW Steel against BPSL’s former promoter who had opposed the resolution plan. Pending adjudication of this and other applications, the proposal cannot be implemented, “more so when the assets of BPSL are continued to be attached by ED”, the executive said.

In February, the NCLAT granted JSW Steel immunity from prosecution against any investigation pursued by government agencies against the previous promoters of BPSL. The newly inserted Section 32 (A) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) discharges new owners from any prior liability of offences committed by a corporate debtor.
