The Supreme Court has effectively stayed the implementation of RBI’s February 12 circular till its next hearing in the matter on November 14, providing relief to borrowers from power, sugar and textile sectors who were staring at the prospect of being dragged to India’s bankruptcy courts.

The relief came on Tuesday, the last day of the 15-day window given by the RBI to lenders for appointing legal counsel to file insolvency cases. The central bank’s circular in February directed lenders to file insolvency proceedings against all corporate borrowers above Rs 2,000 crore if a resolution plan could not be worked out
