NCLT case: Lenders wants to dismiss JKC Resolution
On 29th November, Tuesday, the Mumbai benched National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) adjourned the matter between Lenders led by SBI Bank and Jalan-Kalrock Consortium (JKC) to 6th December. This came after both parties asked for more time to file their response.
