Kalyan Toll Infrastructure Limited vs Mr. Navin Khandelwal Liquidator Of ...

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal12 April 2024Ashok Bhushan

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The reliefs and concessions available to a successful bidder in a liquidation proceeding are those permitted by the liquidation process document and the Liquidation Regulations; relief outside that scope is not admissible, and an Adjudicating Authority's grant of the reliefs necessary for the successful bidder to carry on the business, within that framework, does not warrant appellate interference.

Para 6.1 of the order has granted reliefs and concessions to the extent as
