Supreme Court Refers Jindal Poly Films Minority Shareholder Dispute to Arbitration
The Supreme Court of India has referred the minority shareholder dispute involving Jindal Poly Films to arbitration, overturning earlier National Company Law Tribunal and Appellate Tribunal orders that had admitted the country's first corporate class action suit under Section 245 of the Companies Act, 2013. The dispute, initiated over alleged undervalued transactions causing financial losses, will be arbitrated by retired Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava in Delhi. The case remains sub-judice with financial implications yet unclear.
