SC halts CoC meetings at Byju’s; tells resolution professional to maintain status quo

The Supreme Court has temporarily halted all meetings related to the insolvency proceedings of edtech firm Byju's. The court directed the interim resolution professional to maintain status quo and not hold any meetings of the creditors' committee. The SC reserved its verdict on an appeal by US lender GLAS Trust against the approval of a settlement deal between Byju's and its operational creditor, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The court questioned Byju's decision to settle its debt with BCCI while leaving substantial dues owed to other creditors.

NCLT questions Byju’s RP over CoC reconstitution and governance issues amid insolvency

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) questioned Byju's insolvency resolution professional (RP) regarding the reconstitution of its committee of creditors (CoC) and the board meeting of subsidiary Aakash Institute.

The RP argued that the CoC was formed on a provisional basis and that verification had not been done. Further queries were raised about the RP's authority to reconstitute the CoC based on pending matters. The NCLT also sought clarification on representation of Think & Learn at the Aakash Institute board meeting, where Byju Raveendran attended via video call. The bench expressed concern about the RP's functioning and the delay in obtaining meeting minutes. The NCLT had previously refrained Aakash Institute from amending its articles of association.
