In a significant legal development, Pooja Ramesh Singh, a suspended director of Essel Infraprojects, has raised serious allegations before the Supreme Court of India regarding the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Mumbai. She claims that the NCLT cited 'non-existent' judgments while admitting the company into insolvency proceedings. Senior Advocate Madhavi Divan, representing Singh, argued that many of the decisions referenced in the tribunal’s order appear to be fabricated, lacking verifiable names and excerpts. The Supreme Court Bench, comprising Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, acknowledged that these allegations touch upon the integrity of judicial processes. The case stems from a September 11, 2025 ruling by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, which upheld the NCLT's earlier order from August 28, 2024, initiating insolvency against Essel Infraprojects due to a default of ₹87.43 crore related to a ₹200 crore credit facility. This loan was secured by a corporate guarantee from Essel and a mortgage over land in Gorai, Borivali, Mumbai. Essel argued that its obligations had ended following a 2014 court-approved restructuring, but the NCLT rejected this defense, asserting that the corporate guarantee remained binding. Singh's claims suggest that most of the cited Supreme Court rulings cannot be verified, raising concerns about the tribunal's reliance on these judgments. The Supreme Court has permitted Singh to submit an affidavit detailing these discrepancies, with further hearings scheduled for May 12, 2026.
