NCLAT allows JSW Steel to buy Bhushan Power
New Delhi, February 17
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal today allowed JSW Steel to acquire Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd for Rs 19,700 crore by providing it immunity from prosecution by the Enforcement Directorate.
A two-member Bench headed by Chairman Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya, said JSW Steel will be immuned from the acts done by the former promoters of Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd (BPSL).
However, it also said prosecution against the former promoters under the money laundering act by the Enforcement Directorate can continue. It has also rejected the petitions filed by operational creditors, seeking higher claims. — PTI
