Recent work highlights showcase the firm's strength in various areas. In a significant case, the IndusLaw team represented the BKG Group in commercial suits against Karvy Stock Broking, successfully pursuing claims for recovery of nearly $50 million. The firm assisted the client in navigating a complex situation involving the illegal diversion of funds by Karvy, leading to ongoing litigation aimed at reclaiming assets. In another notable matter, the firm acted for a state industrial development corporation and the state government in challenge proceedings related to the partial final awards for Phase 1 and 2 against the clients. This ICC arbitration arose out of a shareholders agreement dispute with a foreign investor for investment into a large petrochemicals company.
IndusLaw also represented the Committee of Creditors of Reliance Broadcast Network in proceedings before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. The team successfully defended the creditors against challenges to their commercial decisions regarding a resolution plan, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the insolvency process.
