NCLT Issues Key Rulings on Property Tax, Insolvency Machinery, and Bank Fraud Cases
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) recently issued rulings on three corporate insolvency and fraud-related cases. It held that buyers of auctioned properties during liquidation remain liable for outstanding municipal property taxes, rejecting claims to avoid such dues. The tribunal also dismissed a plea to recover leased machinery from a company under insolvency, affirming the Resolution Professional's custody. Additionally, NCLT vacated property attachments against two Punjab National Bank officers accused in the Nirav Modi-Mehul Choksi fraud case, citing lack of direct evidence against them.
