Govt constitutes National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) for hearing appeals against orders of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Central Government hereby constitutes the National Company Law Tribunal to exercise and discharge the powers and functions as are, or may be, conferred on it by or under the said Act with effect from the 1st day of June, 2016.
It has been more than 15 years that we first heard about National Company Law Tribunal [NCLT] & National Company Law Appellate Tribunal [NCLAT]. Way back in 2001. Why did it take so long for a body like this to be a reality? Why did it not see any light of the day so far? What caused the delay?
283 Sections of the Companies Act, 2013 have already been commenced. Remaining sections related to functioning of NCLT/NCLAT and certain other authorities are yet to be notified. In view of the Supreme Court order dated 14 th May, 2015, the process for constitution of NCLT/NCLAT has been undertaken and these bodies are likely to be set up shortly.
The Companies (Second Amendment) Act, 2002 had provided for the setting up of a NCLT and Appellate Tribunal to replace the existing Company Law Board and Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction. NCLT would be dealing in various matters pertaining to winding up of Companies, Revival and Restructuring which presently hitherto falls under the jurisdiction of High Court and BIFR respectively.
MADRAS BAR ASSOCIATION Vs. UNION OF INDIA & ANR. (Supreme Court) The petitioner felt aggrieved by that part of the judgment vide which establishments of NCLT and NCLAT was held to be Constitutional.
The Government proposes to set up National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) which will replace Company Law Board, Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction and Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction.
I am very happy to see the judgment of the Supreme Court on National Company Law Tribunal. I have read the judgment of Justice Jayasimha Babu of Madras High Court regarding the constitution of National Company Law Tribunal and Appellate Tribunal in the Writ Petition preferred by Madras Bar Association many times.
The Corporate Affairs Ministry has termed the Supreme Court verdict disallowing civil servants belonging to the Indian Corporate Law Service (ICLS) from being members of the proposed National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) as “disappointing.” The Ministry indicated that the matter may go back to a Constitution Bench of the apex court for a review.
In 2002, the Companies Act, 1956, was amended to provide establishment of company law tribunals to play the role that had hitherto been played by high courts. Specific arrangements and transactions such as mergers, demergers and reduction of capital, and also liquidation and winding up of companies are overseen by high courts having jurisdiction where the registered office of the company is located. The amendment sought to move such jurisdiction to specialised tribunals established for the purpose, with an appellate tribunal adding a layer of appeal.
