The Supreme Court on Wednesday partly heard a State Bank of India-led consortium’s challenge to a decision of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal to approve a resolution plan proposed by Jalan-Kalrock consortium (JKC) for Jet Airways.
Appearing before a three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, senior advocate Harish Salve, for the SBI consortium, said the situation has become a “nightmare” for the lenders.
The lenders described the NCLAT verdict of March 12 as “ shocking” and a deviation from the Supreme Court direction to encash a ₹150 crore bank guarantee towards the initial tranche payment of ₹350 crore to the banks.
