Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India was hearing civil appeals arising from judgments of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). The appeals were filed by Ashish Saraf and Facor Alloys Limited against Bhuvan Madan and others. The NCLAT had passed judgments on 12.03.2020 and 25.11.2020, which were being challenged before the Supreme Court. The core legal issue before the court was whether to interfere with the NCLAT's judgments. After hearing arguments from senior counsel for the parties, the court examined the matter but found no grounds for intervention. The court reasoned that it could not persuade itself to interfere with the tribunal's orders. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed both civil appeals and disposed of any pending applications. The decision was delivered by a bench comprising Justices Ajay Rastogi and Abhay S. Oka on September 27, 2021.
