In a critical ruling, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) upheld the clean slate principle enshrined in the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), ruling against shareholder claims for reinstated rights post-resolution. Sintex Industries' compensation grievances were rejected, highlighting the IBC's supremacy over laws like the Companies Act. This verdict paves the way for a new start for companies recovering from insolvency.
