Gensol Enters Insolvency, Mixed-Bag For Celebi, And More

“The Constitution does not pretend that all are equal in a land scarred by deep inequality. Instead, it dares to intervene, to rewrite the script, to recalibrate power and to restore dignity.”
- Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai at Oxford Union in his speech titled ‘From representation to Realisation: Embodying theConstitution’s Promise’

The Week That Was
Courts 

• Madras High Court allows Airport authority of India to float tender to replace Celebi as ground handling operator in Chennai airport for now. The government told the court that it has no choice but to float a tender since the airport is operated by the government and not a private body. The court recorded that the government or the next appointed operator will not use Celebi’s equipment and the appointment will be subject to the outcome of the litigation.
• The Bombay High Court upheld decision to deny TikTok as a well-known trademark

Quasi Courts

• NCLT Ahmedabad admitted Gensol Engineering and its subsidiary Gensol EV Lease into insolvency on plea by IREDA
