As Go First awaits the NCLT ruling on its voluntary insolvency resolution plea, the tribunal is set to hear on Monday two petitions seeking insolvency proceedings against the crisis-hit airline.
With liabilities of ₹11,463 crore and a financial crunch, the Wadia group-owned airline has sought voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings as well as an interim moratorium on financial obligations.
After hearing the plea on Thursday, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) reserved its order.
The tribunal is set to hear two insolvency petitions filed against the airline on Monday, according to lawyers.
The petition filed by SS Associates Services Pvt Ltd, which was providing transport services to the carrier, is with respect to a claim of around ₹3 crore.
A pilot has also filed a petition claiming dues for his services provided to the airline. The amount involved is more than ₹1 crore. The two petitions are scheduled to be heard by the Principal Bench of the NCLT.
Go First, in its petition filed before the tribunal on May 2, sought directions to restrain aircraft lessors from taking any recovery action as well as restrain aviation watchdog DGCA and suppliers of essential goods and services from initiating adverse actions.
