NCLAT upholds 'clean slate' principle, rejects Sintex shareholder claim

The Insolvency Appellate Tribunal NCLAT has affirmed the clean slate principle under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which bars any attempt to reestablish pre-resolution shareholders' rights, and rejected the claims of a shareholder of Sintex Industries.

The appellate tribunal ruled that shareholders, whose equity was extinguished under the company's insolvency resolution plan, cannot revive their rights through proceedings under the Companies Act after the bids have been approved and the resolution plan has attained finality with a new ownership.

More Leagues, More Stars, Gayle Sees Talent Bloom Across India

Congress Chief Minister Oommen Chandy: The proliferation of cricket leagues such as the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) across India and the world will help unearth a new generation of talent from every corner, West Indies batting legend Chris Gayle said on Saturday. The Universe Boss,' who received a tumultuous welcome on his arrival in the state capital, said Kerala and India were already blessed with considerable cricketing talent and that the growing number of leagues would provide aspiring players with more opportunities to showcase their abilities. Kerala has good talent, and India has good talent. With leagues like KCL coming up across the country and around the world, new talents will emerge from everywhere, Gayle told the media after his arrival. Gayle, co-owner of Kochi Blue Tigers, will later in the day attend the Kerala Cricket League matches at the Greenfield International Stadium in Kariavattom, where he is expected to set the stands alight with a special batting display between matches. His presence is likely to add a major dose of international glamour to the second season of the KCL. The Jamaican great will take his Kerala visit beyond the cricketing arena on Sunday, travelling to Puthuppally in Kottayam, a constituency closely associated with the political legacy of legendary Congress Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. According to Puthuppally MLA Chandy Oommen, Gayle has been invited by the Oommen Chandy Foundation as part of initiatives to promote cricket in the constituency. Gayle will then receive a traditional Kerala welcome featuring 11 cultural and martial arts performances, including Kathakali, Koodiyattam, Kalaripayattu, Thiruvathira, Pulikali, and Pancharimelam. He will also address a public meeting before visiting sites in the constituency being considered for the development of an international-standard cricket stadium. His visit is expected to give added momentum to efforts to build cricketing infrastructure and nurture the sport at the grassroots level. A global cricket icon, Gayle is widely regarded as one of the most destructive batters in limited-overs cricket. Gayle will then receive a traditional Kerala welcome featuring 11 cultural and martial arts performances, including Kathakali, Koodiyattam, Kalaripayattu, Thiruvathira, Pulikali, and Pancharimelam.

Duleep Trophy Semis: East Face Central, North Take On South (Preview)

North East Zone: Eyes will be on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again when he takes the field in the Duleep Trophy semifinal for East Zone against Rajat Patidar's defending champions, Central Zone, while South Zone will face North Zone in the other semifinal. Both matches are set for Sunday. East Zone won their quarter-final against North East Zone, as all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed starred with both bat and ball to lead the side to an innings-and-210-run win. Shahbaz (167) forged a strong 150-run partnership with the other centurion, Sudip Kumar Gharami (146), to power the Ishan Kishan-led side to a daunting 467. Medium-pacer Abhijit K Sarkar and Shahbaz then plotted the downfall of the North East side, with Abhijit taking 5-20 and Shahbaz 3-20 as they bowled Rongsen Jonathan's team out for 111 and enforced a follow-on. North East Zone again faced the brunt of East Zone's bowlers and were bowled out for 146 in the follow-on, with no one scoring a half-century. Ankulul Roy starred with a five-wicket haul, while Sooryavanshi took two wickets in a surprise move. East Zone won by an innings and 210 runs. However, a much tougher test will await them in the semi-final, when they will face the defending champions at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1. Central Zone have the much stronger personnel, with Patidar leading the way and the likes of Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Yash Thakur and Saransh Jain posing a significant threat. Saransh made his India debut in Colombo against Sri Lanka and will be gunning for success in the domestic circuit. Meanwhile, North Zone, who defeated West Zone in a close quarter-final, will face Tilak Varma's South Zone. Kanhaiya Wadhawan's North Zone defeated the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led West Zone by 52 runs, as Abid Mushtaq and Nishant Sindhu shared six wickets to deny West a chase of 286 on the final day of the quarter-final. North had scored 251 in the first innings after a late-order 60 from Anshul Kamboj, while Mushtaq took a five-for in the first innings, as his team took a 44-run lead. North did enough in the second innings too, as Ayush Badoni hit 50 and Sindhu made 44, taking the team to 222. Mushtaq stood tall once again with the ball, taking 4-60 in the second innings, while Sindhu took 2-59 in a 52-run win. South Zone will pose a significant threat to North's title hopes. The side is led by India T20I vice-captain Varma, while the likes of Smaran Ravichandran, Karun Nair, Shreyas Gopal and Narayan Jagadeesan add strength to the side.
