NCLAT Upholds Clean Slate Principle, Rejects Sintex Shareholder Compensation Claim
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) upheld the 'clean slate principle' under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), rejecting a shareholder's claim for compensation after Sintex Industries' insolvency resolution plan extinguished their equity shares. The tribunal ruled that shareholders cannot revive pre-resolution rights through the Companies Act once a resolution plan is approved and finalized. NCLAT emphasized the IBC's primacy over other laws, confirming that liabilities and rights from the pre-resolution period cease upon plan approval and management change.
