Illustrative Scenarios
The following are hypothetical, illustrative scenarios prepared for educational purposes. They are not descriptions of actual client matters, and no outcome is guaranteed in any specific case.
Illustrative Scenario
Operational Creditor Pursuing CIRP Against a Kolkata Trading Company
A Kolkata supplier is owed a substantial sum by a trading company that has stopped responding to demand notices. A well-documented Section 9 application before NCLT Kolkata Bench can trigger CIRP admission where there is no genuine pre-existing dispute over the debt.
Illustrative Scenario
Resolution Applicant Bidding for a Distressed Kolkata Manufacturer
A strategic investor wants to bid for a distressed Kolkata manufacturing company undergoing CIRP. Early engagement with the resolution professional and careful diligence on avoidance-transaction exposure are central to a competitive, defensible bid.
Illustrative Scenario
Family-Owned Trading House Structuring a Generational Ownership Transition
A Kolkata family-owned trading house wants to formalise ownership and governance ahead of a generational transition. A shareholders' agreement addressing succession, exit and deadlock resolution head-on avoids disputes emerging later among the next generation.
Illustrative Scenario
East India Distributor Negotiating an Acquisition by a National Player
A Kolkata-based regional distributor is being acquired by a national retail chain. Thorough due diligence on the distributor's contracts and regulatory compliance, and a properly structured indemnity, protect both sides through closing and beyond.
Notable Legal Developments
Supreme CourtJul 2, 2026
Essel Infraprojects — NCLT Order Set Aside for Reliance on AI-Hallucinated Precedents
Supreme Court Sets Aside NCLT Insolvency Order Built on Fabricated, AI-Generated Case Law
The Supreme Court set aside an NCLT order in the Essel Infraprojects insolvency matter after discovering the tribunal's reasoning relied on non-existent precedents generated by an AI tool, and directed the Bar Council of India to frame norms governing the verification of AI-assisted legal research before it is placed before courts and tribunals.
Key Takeaway — Every citation used in NCLT/NCLAT filings — whether drafted with AI assistance or not — must be independently verified against primary sources before filing; unverified AI output is now a sanctionable and case-fatal risk.
Joint Parliamentary Committee — Bill PendingApr 2026
Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026
Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 Set to Overhaul NCLT Scheme-of-Arrangement Procedure
Now before the Joint Parliamentary Committee, the Bill proposes sweeping changes to Sections 230–233 of the Companies Act, 2013, streamlining NCLT scheme-of-arrangement procedures, revising creditor/shareholder meeting-class thresholds, clarifying cross-border merger rules for foreign companies, decriminalising a swathe of provisions, and removing the IBC cross-reference from Section 230(1). Multi-bench NCLT schemes that previously took 12–14 months are expected to complete materially faster once the reforms are notified.
Key Takeaway — Deal teams should build the Bill's phased notification timeline into scheme-of-arrangement planning now — CP language and expected timelines in transaction documents may need revision once provisions come into force.
