SC upholds constitutional validity of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the constitutional validity of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

A bench headed by Justice R F Nariman said they have upheld the constitutional validity "in its entirety".

The court, however, said that related parties in the act should mean a person connected with the business.

The bench disposed of a batch of pleas filed by companies challenging various provisions of the IBC.
