Former promoters of defaulting companies that are under the insolvency process can hope to take back control of their companies if the debt resolution process fails to find new owners. The recent decision by consortium of lenders led by IDBI Bank to allow C Sivasankaran to take ownership of his company by paying an amount higher than the liquidation amount may have raised hopes of erstwhile promoters such as Naresh Goyal, Anil Ambani and Punj Lloyd. The companies once owned by these promoters including Jet Airways, Reliance Communications and Punj Lloyd are heading towards liquidation under the IBC process.

New Delhi: The tussle between two of the world’s richest men Jeff Bezos and Mukesh Ambani to dominate India’s estimated $1 trillion retail market is testing foreign investor patience with flip-flopping court rulings.
This week saw new developments in Amazon.com Inc.’s legal battle to block Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd. from acquiring Future Retail Ltd.’s assets, in what would be the country’s largest retail-sector deal. Last week, a single judge at a high court in New Delhi restrained Future Group firms from selling their assets. On Monday, a set of judges at the court overruled that decision. Amazon can appeal the latest ruling in the country’s Supreme Court.
