Firstpost  

New Delhi: JSW Steel on Monday told the National Company Law Tribunal that the company is not backing out from the ongoing resolution process of Bhushan Power & Steel despite reports of alleged fraud by its former promoters. During the proceedings in NCLT, counsel appearing for JSW Steel informed the tribunal that it was anxious about the alleged fraud reports and needs to know what is going inside Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd. A two-member NCLT bench headed by the President Justice M M Kumar asked the Resolution Professional of BPSL to hand over a copy of the forensic report to JSW Steel. NCLT said that alleged fraud reports will not have any impact on the insolvency resolution process and JSW’s resolution plan for BPSL. Earlier on 4 February, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal had dismissed the plea of Tata Steel and upheld the Committee of Creditors decision to approve JSW Steel’s bid.
