Supreme Court Reviews NCLT Powers and States' Authority on Additional Sales Tax
The Supreme Court is addressing two significant legal matters. It has issued a notice on a challenge to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's ruling about the National Company Law Tribunal's authority to convene Extraordinary General Meetings, emphasizing the concept of impracticability. Separately, a seven-judge Constitution Bench has reserved judgment on a 27-year-old reference regarding states' power to impose additional sales tax, surcharges, or cesses, examining the constitutional limits of state taxation powers versus those of the Union government.
