IA(I.B.C)/5299 (MB)2025 [Sec. 25(2)(j), 60(5),66/Regulation 35A]
1. This Tribunal vide order dated 18.11.2025, had inter-alia, directed as follows:
6. We have considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced by Ld. Counsel for the Applicant. The assets of the corporate debtor are required to be protected. However, we are not inclined to direct injunction/restraining the release of the film. But by disclosure of the income/revenue generated from the said film, no prejudice would be caused to anyone and transparency would protect the interest of all stakeholders. In fact, if transparency is not adopted, it may prejudice the interests of the corporate debtor. Thus, we are satisfied that interim orders are required to be passed to the extent of disclosure.
7. Accordingly, the Respondents are directed to disclose the revenue/ income/proceeds generated/gathered from the release/ exhibition of the Film ‘Haunted Ghosts of the Past’ to the RP and needless to say, RP shall place the same before the CoC for their consideration.
2. Further vide order dated 15.04.2026, this Tribunal had ordered as follows:
1. The applicant has been seeking stay of release of movie. Ld. Counsel for the respondent submits that release or not to release the movie is not in her client’s hand and there is an application proposing to implead the respondents who are in control of releasing the movie.
2. Ld. counsel for applicant states that to circumvent any directions by this Tribunal, the respondent has assigned the right to release movie to take undue advantage out of it.
