A
What happened
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) set aside the earlier NCLT order that dismissed Culver Max Entertainment's insolvency plea against Rechargekit Fintech. NCLAT stated Culver Max was not given a chance to fix defects in its application, which was required under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The case has been sent back to NCLT's Cuttack bench for a new hearing to be completed within two months. This prevents premature dismissal and ensures due process for insolvency petitions.
