NCLT steps in after ₹150 crore Byju’s assets auctioned for ₹16 crore, orders status quo
The Bengaluru NCLT has ordered a status quo on assets auctioned by Byju's parent TLPL. The RP of another Byju's entity, K3 Education, objected that assets worth around ₹150 crore were sold for just about ₹16 crore. Since ownership is unclear, the tribunal wants the assets preserved. The buyer, Comprint, must give a detailed inventory and storage details.
