If there’s a differing view, then that differing view must be taken up by one other member… It doesn’t empower NCLT underneath IBC or firm regulation to type a five-member bench… Below which energy? When did this five-member bench sit collectively?” he submitted.The appellate tribunal was listening to appeals filed by Union Financial institution of India (UK), Canara Financial institution and LIC Housing Finance towards the Aug 25 opinion approving Chandra’s compensation plan.
