CIBBA Urges Operationalization of Second NCLAT Bench in Chennai

The Corporate Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws Bar Association (CIBBA) has requested the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) to make its second bench at Chennai functional.

Although the Chennai bench has existed since 2021, it currently operates with only one bench. With the recent appointments of Justices N Sesha Sayee and Mohammad Faiz Alam Khan, the NCLAT now has its full sanctioned strength, eliminating prior constraints.

CIBBA highlighted that sufficient infrastructure, including an additional courtroom, is already available.

Given the bench’s jurisdiction over five southern states and Puducherry, CIBBA emphasized the urgent need to manage increasing caseloads efficiently.
