Writing off debt is purely commercial nature not required judicial intervention

Last updated: 06 October 2022
Quick Summary
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) upheld a lower tribunal's decision, stating that a company's decision to write off bad debts is a purely commercial matter and does not warrant judicial intervention. The tribunal also found that changes to bank account operating mandates, when passed by a majority of directors and not proven to be a 'colourable exercise', are within the Board's domain and not indicative of oppression or mismanagement.
