NCLT Oversteps in Byju's Insolvency Case, Risks Investor Confidence

In an alarming precedent for corporate governance, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has intervened to penalize the resolution professional assigned to Byju's insolvency case, alleging misconduct. Furthermore, the tribunal's decision to forcibly reinstate Glas Trust and Aditya Birla Finance into the Committee of Creditors may inadvertently thwart the entrepreneurial spirit by undermining the autonomy of businesses to manage their financial affairs. This move by the NCLT raises serious concerns about the potential for regulatory overreach to chill investment and innovation in the booming tech sector, at a time when economic growth and recovery are paramount.
