Demerger Scheme Approval - The court has approved schemes of demerger involving transfer of undertakings from the Demerged Company to Resulting Companies, emphasizing compliance with relevant laws (e.g., Companies Act, 1956 & 2013) and benefits such as operational efficiency and growth facilitation. These schemes often require unanimous creditor approval and are sanctioned through company petitions under Sections 391 and 394 of the Companies Act, 1956, and Section 230 of the Companies Act, 2013.
