Authority: National Company Law Tribunal, Division Bench - Court II, Chennai
Order Date: 06 July 2026
Case Overview
The hearing concerned Application IA(IBC)/1093/(CHE)/2026 filed by N Veerapandian, the Liquidator of M/s. Sical Iron Ore Terminals Ltd, under Regulation 44(2) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016. The matter arose from the main petition CP(IB)/114(CHE)2021. The Tribunal observed that the liquidation process had reached a stage where there were no substantive issues involved except for the final distribution of proceeds to the stakeholders. The bench noted that liquidation proceedings cannot continue indefinitely, particularly when there are no liquidation assets available and the proceeds are yet to be realized.
Final Outcome
The Tribunal directed the Liquidator to seek the recommendation of the Stakeholders Consultation Committee (SCC) regarding the proposal for extension of the liquidation process. The Liquidator was instructed to submit this recommendation by way of a memo within two weeks. The application has been listed for the next hearing on 28 July 2026.
