As per media reports, the market regulator took this decision after the National Companies Law Tribunal in Mumbai declined to admit rival ITC’s petition opposing the deal.
Reports further stated that, ITC did not get any relief with the NCLT refusing the tobacco-to-hotels conglomerate’s plea citing its apparent ineligibility under Section 244 of the Companies Act, which requires that only a person or entity owning at least 10% of the issued share capital can move a petition of this nature.
