Litigation & Dispute Resolution

NCLT & NCLAT Litigation

Representation before the National Company Law Tribunal and National Company Law Appellate Tribunal in insolvency, oppression, and corporate disputes.

Overview

The National Company Law Tribunal has emerged as the most consequential forum for corporate disputes in India since the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 came into force. Matters before NCLT Delhi — whether insolvency resolution proceedings, oppression and mismanagement petitions under Sections 241-242 of the Companies Act 2013, class action suits under Section 245, or reduction of capital petitions — demand counsel with deep statutory fluency and courtroom command. Corpus Juris Legal represents financial creditors, operational creditors, corporate debtors, resolution applicants, and minority shareholders across the full NCLT and NCLAT spectrum. Our litigation team combines corporate law expertise with procedural rigour, ensuring that arguments are built on both the statutory framework and the growing body of NCLT and Supreme Court jurisprudence. Appeals before the NCLAT and thereafter the Supreme Court of India are handled with continuity — the same team that builds the case at first instance drives the appeal, so nothing is lost in translation.

Why This Matters for Your Business

NCLT proceedings move on statutory timelines that cannot be ignored — a missed deadline in a CIRP can permanently extinguish a creditor's right to recovery or a promoter's right to challenge. The complexity of intersecting IBC, Companies Act, and SEBI regulations in a single proceeding demands counsel who has actually litigated these matters, not merely read about them.

Our Approach

Every NCLT mandate begins with a thorough statutory audit of the client's position — what claims exist, what defences are available, and what the realistic litigation arc looks like. We do not file petitions speculatively. Arguments are built from the statute, the NCLT Rules 2016, and current NCLAT and Supreme Court precedent. Clients receive plain-English updates after every hearing.
