Passing an order on January 29, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) directed disciplinary proceedings against Byjus’ resolution professional and nixed his direction to exclude Glas Trust and Aditya Birla Finance from the edtech’s Committee of Creditors.
The matter came for hearing before the Chennai bench of NCLAT on Thursday (February 6, 2025). However, a member of the bench recused himself from the matter.
Justice Sarad Kumar Sharma recused from hearing as he was the counsel of BCCI which moved a petition against Byju's for recovery of dues.
Now matter has been referred to the Chairperson of the appellate tribunal, who will assign this matter to a new bench.
