Recently, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLAT) had ruled that the adjudicating authority, while hearing an application under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), is not required to determine the validity of a foreign decree. This stance taken by the NCLAT was upheld by the Supreme Court as well. The Commercial Division of the Madras High Court recently dealt with a petition that required it to determine the validity of such a foreign decree.
