NCLT Allows Aviator ML to Withdraw SpiceJet Insolvency Plea, Imposes Fine
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) allowed aircraft lessor Aviator ML to withdraw its insolvency plea against SpiceJet following a last-minute settlement, imposing a Rs 15 lakh fine on both parties for delayed notification. The tribunal criticized the timing, noting wasted judicial time, and deferred ruling on seven other insolvency petitions against the financially stressed airline. These remaining cases will be reheard by a new bench, allowing SpiceJet's current management to retain control while the disputes continue.
