NCLT directs to initiate insolvency proceedings against Imperia Structures

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has directed to initiate insolvency proceedings against Delhi NCR-based realty firm Imperia Structures and has appointed an interim resolution professional. Admitting a joint plea filed by 28 unit holders of its Gurugram-based project 'Imperia Mindscape', the insolvency tribunal said after examining the records, it is clear that there is a debt and a subsequent default by the realty firm for an amount of Rs 36.79 crore as it could not provide assured returns as promised. "The petition establishes that the corporate debtor is in default of a debt due and payable and that the default is for an amount which is more than the minimum amount of pecuniary threshold stipulated under section 4 (1) of the Code. The instant petition... for initiating CIRP against Imperia Structures Limited, the corporate debtor, stands admitted and CIRP of Imperia Structures Limited is initiated," said NCLT. NCLT has also appointed Gaurav Katiyar as Interim Resolution .

Dadheech Infra case: NCLAT upholds NCLT's insolvency proceedings verdict

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Thursday dismissed a petition against the NCLT order allowing the initiation of insolvency resolution proceedings against Dadheech Infrastructures. While upholding the National Company Law Tribunal's ruling in the case, the NCLAT also flagged that "unreasonable and unexplained delays in delivering verdicts are not desirable". The NCLT had reserved its order in December 2022 and pronounced the order only in June this year. The Kolkata bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in June this year allowed initiating Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Dadheech Infrastructures on a plea filed by SREI Equipment Finance, which itself is undergoing CIRP. The decision of the NCLT was challenged by way of a petition by Sanjeev Kumar Sharma, who was a director on the now-suspended board of Dadheech Infrastructures.
