The insolvency tribunal NCLT has ordered a status quo on the assets sold by the resolution professional of Think and Learn Private Limited, the parent entity of debt-ridden edutech firm Byju's, in one of its subsidiaries. The Bengaluru-based bench of the NCLT has put a hold on any further disposal of Byju's K3 Education's assets till the next hearing on September 21 amid allegations that assets worth around Rs 150 crore were sold for just about Rs 16 crore. "The RP of TLPL (Think and Learn Private Limited) and the said newly impleaded Respondent are directed to maintain status quo in respect of the articles/equipment/assets auctioned under notice dated August 2, 2026, issued by the former, till next date," said a two-member bench.

NCLT bars Subhash Chandra from disposing of properties in insolvency case

A five-member special NCLT bench constituted to hear the personal insolvency case of Subhash Chandra on Tuesday issued notices to all the parties and directed the Essel Group Chairman not to alienate his properties, either directly or indirectly. Last week, NCLT approved a repayment plan under which creditors are set to recover about Rs 6.25 crore from Chandra's personal estate against claims of roughly Rs 22,006 crore. Chandra said the Rs 22,006 crore figure had been widely misunderstood because it represented claims arising from personal guarantees he had provided for loans taken by companies associated with the Essel Group, rather than money he had personally borrowed. The five-member bench, led by President Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal, said that since there was no majority view among the members, including the third member, there was no final order and the verdict could not be given effect to. "Let notice be issued to all the parties," the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT

A Parliamentary panel has suggested establishing dedicated benches or verticals for insolvency cases at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to expedite disposal of such matters as well as ensure that the tribunal gives equal attention for cases under the companies law. Apart from the principal bench and the New Delhi bench, NCLT has benches in Allahabad, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cuttack, Hyderabad, Indore, Kolkata, Kochi, and Mumbai. The recommendations are part of a report prepared by the Department-Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice. The report on 'Review of Functioning of Tribunal System in the Country' was tabled in Parliament earlier this month. The panel said steadily expanding insolvency jurisdiction of the tribunal should not dilute its equally important responsibilities under the Companies Act, 2013, including matters relating to mergers and amalgamations, corporate governance, and protection of
