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
Company Coordinating an NCLT Mumbai Scheme of Arrangement
A company with operations spanning Mumbai and North India needs to implement a merger requiring NCLT Mumbai Bench sanction. Coordinated representation between the transaction and Mumbai-based tribunal counsel keeps the scheme moving without duplicated effort.
Illustrative Scenario
Lender Pursuing Recovery Through a Mumbai-Seated DRT Proceeding
A financial institution needs to pursue a recovery suit connected to a Mumbai-based borrower before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. Coordinated representation ensures consistent strategy across the Mumbai proceeding and any parallel matters elsewhere.
Illustrative Scenario
Listed Company Managing a SEBI Disclosure Compliance Query
A company with a Mumbai-listed presence receives a SEBI query regarding a material event disclosure timeline. A prompt, well-documented response demonstrating the company's disclosure protocols is central to resolving the query without escalation.
Illustrative Scenario
Acquirer Conducting Due Diligence on a Mumbai-Based Target
A strategic acquirer conducting due diligence on a Mumbai-headquartered target uncovers undisclosed litigation risk. Renegotiating the purchase price with a specific indemnity, rather than walking away, often preserves the deal while properly allocating risk.
Notable Legal Developments
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.
Supreme Court2026
M.R. Vasumathi & E. Muthurathinasabathy — SARFAESI Rule 9 Judgments
Rule 9 Payment Timelines Under the SARFAESI Enforcement Rules Are Mandatory, Not Directory
The Supreme Court held that the payment timelines prescribed under Rule 9 of the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002 — governing deposit of sale consideration following a SARFAESI auction — are mandatory. A secured creditor's failure to strictly enforce these timelines, or a purchaser's failure to comply with them, can vitiate the auction sale, directly affecting borrowers' redemption rights under Section 13(8) of the SARFAESI Act.
Key Takeaway — Banks, ARCs and auction purchasers must treat Rule 9 deposit deadlines as strict and non-negotiable — non-compliance now carries a real risk of the entire sale being set aside.
