The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition from the promoters of tech company Byju's challenging the continuation of its insolvency proceedings. The petition argues for upholding a settlement reached before the formal establishment of the Committee of Creditors (CoC) in the case.

Lawyers for the promoters are contesting a decision by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in Chennai, which had denied a withdrawal of the insolvency process—even though a settlement had been finalized with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) before the CoC came into effect.

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sanjay Kumar issued notice to the respondents, including the BCCI, for their input, while noting that interim relief will be considered on July 21, 2025. The case involves a significant Rs 158 crore settlement and raises questions about cross-border insolvency proceedings and creditor rights.
