NCLAT refuses to stay Tata Steel's takeover bid of Bhushan Steel
May 21, 2018 3:04 AM

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Monday refused to stay Tata Steel's acquisition of Bhushan Steel.

An NCLAT bench headed by Chairman Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya also issued notices to Tata Steel, the resolution professional and Committee of Creditors (CoC) of Bhushan Steel on a petition filed by its promoter Neeraj Singal challenging the sale.

Singal had sought a stay on the NCLT order approving Tata Steel's bid for the debt-ridden Bhushan Steel under corporate insolvency resolution process on Thursday.

Neeraj Singal holds around 22% stake in Bhushan Steel.
