NCLAT also directed the financial creditor of CDEL -- IDBI Trusteeship Services Ltd (IDBITSL) claiming a default of Rs 228.45 crore, to file a counter affidavit over the submissions of the company.

"In these eventualities, the respondents are directed to file counter affidavits within a period of three weeks. Till the next date of listing, the effect of the operation of the impugned order, admitting the appellant (CDEL) to Section 7 procedures will be kept in abeyance," said a bench comprising Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma and Jatindranath Swain.
