Anil Ambani gets massive relief after paying Rs 920000000 to..., Reliance Infrastructure will now be...

Anil Ambani (File) Big relief for Anil Ambani: In a significant development for the Ambani family, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has provided major relief to Anil Ambani. In the recent ruling, the NCLAT has put a stay on insolvency proceedings against Reliance Infrastructure in in a case related to Rs 88.68 crore unpaid dues from a Rs 920 crore loan case, which were earlier allowed by the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). Here are all the details you need to know about the NCLAT ruling and how it is big update for Anil Ambani. How has Anil Ambani's NCLAT responded? 'In the appeal filed, the Hon'ble National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi (NCLAT), today has suspended the Order dated May 30, 2025 passed by National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai in case no. C.P. (IB)/624(MB)2022, admitting the Company into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.' How Anil Ambani's Reliance Infra reached NCLAT? The NCLT had admitted an insolvency plea against Reliance Infrastructure over unpaid dues of around Rs 88.68 crore to Dhursar Solar Power. However, Reliance Infra challenged this at the NCLAT, claiming it had already paid the full amount with interest (Rs 92.68 crore). On June 4, 2025, the NCLAT stayed the insolvency proceedings, granting temporary relief to Anil Ambani's company. National Company Law Tribunal passes important verdict Meanwhile, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) upheld the primacy of the Enforcement Directorate in dealing with proceeds of crime linked to money laundering over claims by creditors against a 'bankrupt' company under the insolvency code, an official was quoted as saying by a report by IANS news agency. Why This NCLT Verdict is important? The verdict of the Tribunal's bench comprising Bachu Venkat Balram Das and Sanjeev Ranjan, delivered in a matter related to Shakti Bhog Snacks Limited, said: 'The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) cannot be used as a mechanism to frustrate or sidestep the legitimate process of law under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.'

Efforts on to fix minimum support price for fish procurement: Rajesh Dharmani

Bilaspur (HP), Jul 19 (PTI) Efforts are being taken to fix a minimum support price (MSP) for fish procurement to strengthen the economic condition of farmers, Urban Development, Housing, Technical Education, and Vocational and Industrial Training Minister Rajesh Dharmani said on Saturday. Addressing a day-long district-level fisheries awareness camp organised in Kutbaungand, under the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC), Bilaspur, he said that a meeting with Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu will be held soon to take necessary decisions in this regard. The state government is committed to supporting fish farmers and has reduced fish royalty from 15 per cent to 7.5 per cent, directly benefiting the fisher community, he added. Dharmani announced that permanent shops will be provided near Oahr, along the four-lane highway, to fish cooperative societies for selling raw and cooked fish. Additionally, temporary stalls will be allowed at suitable points along the Chandigarh-Manali highway, so that local fishermen can directly benefit from the tourist traffic. The minister instructed Fisheries Department officials to resolve issues where contractors purchase fewer fish during the period of high yield. He emphasised the need to focus on food processing and value addition so that surplus fish can be preserved in cold storage and further processed to enhance income for local fishermen. He also mentioned that a cable ferry project has been proposed to connect the Naina Devi Temple with Baba Balak Nath Temple, facilitating the transport of devotees' vehicles across the route. The government has approved Rs 14 lakh for preparing the detailed project report (DPR) of this project. Vijaypal Nag, President of the Cooperative Society Jagatkhan, demanded the revival of the Fisheries Housing Scheme so that fishermen could be provided with residential benefits. He pointed out that although APMC collects a one per cent royalty, the cooperative fish societies have yet to receive basic infrastructure support, and urged the construction of an APMC office and other facilities.
