NCLAT to decide on continuity of moratorium if stay order obtained

Send Push
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ( NCLAT) has taken up a substantial legal issue regarding the continuity of moratorium on payment of dues if a stay has been obtained on an insolvency admission order.

Uncertainty surrounding continuity of moratorium in instances where a stay order has been passed by a superior court needs deeper examination, the appellate tribunal said in a case between Axis Bank and Asset Reconstruction Company (India) Ltd, and listed the matter for December 3.

Senior advocate Abhinav Vasisth and advocate Manmeet Singh, representing Axis Bank, appealed against a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) order that held that moratorium continued even when a stay order had been obtained. The NCLT also directed that transactions and transfers made during the stay period be reversed and amounts deposited back to the corporate debtor's account.
