Mumbai NCLT allows 90-day extension of insolvency resolution for Lavasa Corp
Mumbai: The Mumbai bench of National Company Law Tribunal ( NCLT ) has allowed a 90-day extension in the ongoing consolidated corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) of Lavasa Corp beginning May 29. The planned city project is undergoing a fresh CIRP after the NCLT, in September 2024, directed that the entire process be restarted, following the successful bidder's failure to implement the approved resolution plan within the specified time frame. The company has admitted liabilities of more than ₹6,642 crore, while the erstwhile successful bidder, Darwin Platform Infrastructure , had proposed to pay ₹1,814 crore. "We are of the view that the present application deserves to be allowed," the division bench of judicial member Ashish Kalia and technical member Sanjiv Dutt observed on June 2. "Since the CIRP is at an advanced stage and resolution plans have already been submitted by PRAs (prospective resolution applicants), which are required to be considered by the CoC (committee of creditors), the extension is being sought in the interest of value maximisation and to ensure that the objectives of the Code ( Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code ) are duly met." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 모공각화증, 저는 집에서 이렇게 해결했어요 (전후사진) 현명한소비자 Undo

'Day of the Jackal' author Frederick Forsyth dies at 86
Frederick Forsyth , the British author of "The Day of the Jackal " and other bestselling thrillers , has died after a brief illness, his literary agent said Monday. He was 86. Jonathan Lloyd, his agent, said Forsyth died at home early Monday surrounded by his family. "We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers," Lloyd said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Retirement Village Coming To Minneapolis - Take A Look At The Prices New York Retirement Village Click Here Undo Born in Kent, in southern England, in 1938, Forsyth served as a Royal Air Force pilot before becoming a foreign correspondent. He covered the attempted assassination of French President Charles de Gaulle in 1962, which provided inspiration for "The Day of the Jackal," his bestselling political thriller about a professional assassin. Published in 1971, the book propelled him into global fame. It was made into a film in 1973 starring Edward Fox as the Jackal and more recently a television series starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. Live Events In 2015, Forsyth told the BBC that he had also worked for the British intelligence agency MI6 for many years, starting from when he covered a civil war in Nigeria in the 1960s. Although Forsyth said he did other jobs for the agency, he said he was not paid for his services and "it was hard to say no" to officials seeking information. "The zeitgeist was different," he told the BBC. "The Cold War was very much on." He wrote more than 25 books including "The Afghan," "The Kill List," "The Dogs of War" and "The Fist of God" that have sold over 75 million copies, Lloyd said. His publisher, Bill Scott-Kerr, said that "Revenge of Odessa," a sequel to the 1974 book "The Odessa File" that Forsyth worked on with fellow thriller author Tony Kent, will be published in August. "Still read by millions across the world, Freddie's thrillers define the genre and are still the benchmark to which contemporary writers aspire," Scott-Kerr said.
