NCLT Allows Aviator ML to Withdraw Insolvency Plea Against SpiceJet, Imposes Fines
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) allowed aircraft lessor Aviator ML to withdraw its insolvency plea against SpiceJet after a last-minute settlement, imposing a fine of ₹15 lakh each on both parties for delaying notification. The tribunal criticized the timing, calling it a waste of judicial time. Meanwhile, seven other insolvency petitions against SpiceJet by aircraft lessors remain pending and will be reheard, allowing SpiceJet's current management to retain control amid ongoing financial challenges.
