NCLAT Clears Insolvency Resolution Framework for IL&FS
In its final judgement on the insolvency proceedings against Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (ILFS), the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) approved the resolution framework proposed by the government, on Thursday. Rejecting the opposition of the creditors, the two-judge bench headed by Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya said the money invested in IL&FS by the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), State Bank of India (SBI), Central Bank of India and the ILFS Employees Welfare Trust, among others constituted public money, and hence the distribution framework under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) should not be followed.
