NCLT and Supreme Court Uphold Rejections of Insolvency Pleas Against BPL and Essar Power Gujarat
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the Supreme Court have upheld rejections of insolvency pleas against BPL and Essar Power Gujarat, respectively.

For Essar Power Gujarat, the Supreme Court affirmed that a genuine pre-existing dispute barred insolvency proceedings over an Rs 85 crore claim by Narayani Resources, emphasizing that IBC cannot be used to recover disputed dues.
