Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Chennai (Justice N. Seshasayee, Member (Judicial) & Jatindranath Swain, Member (Technical))
Order Date: 20 August 2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) at Chennai has consolidated five separate appeals (Company Appeal (AT) (CH) Nos. 42/2022, 44/2022, 52/2022, 131/2022, and 57/2023) all concerning the corporate insolvency resolution process and liquidation of M/s. Thiru Arooran Sugars Ltd. The common respondent in all appeals is Mr. Ramakrishana Sadasivan, the Liquidator of the company.
The appellants represent diverse stakeholders:
1. The Assistant Commissioner of GST and Central Excise (Appeal Nos. 42/2022 & 44/2022), representing tax authorities with claims against the corporate debtor.
2. S.C. Dakshinamurthy, Proprietor of Sethu Transports (Appeal No. 52/2022), an operational creditor.
3. R.V. Tyagarajan, a Suspended Director of Thiru Arooran Sugars Ltd (Appeal No. 131/2022).
4. The Tamil Nadu Sugarcane Farmers Association (Appeal No. 57/2023), representing a body of likely financial or operational creditors.
The nature of the specific disputes, allegations, or legal questions raised in each appeal is not detailed in this procedural order. The background involves the company being under liquidation, and the appeals are likely challenges to orders or decisions made by the Liquidator or the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) concerning the admission or rejection of claims, the liquidation process, or related matters.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT bench did not make any substantive observations, interpretations of law, or conclusions on the merits of the appeals. The sole directive in this order is to adjourn the hearing for all five consolidated appeals. The matters are now listed to be heard next on 06 October 2026. The final ruling on the disputes raised by the various appellants remains pending.
