HYDERABAD: Stating that insolvency proceedings against individual guarantors too can be initiated, National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Hyderabad, has issued notices to Indukuri Syam Prasad Reddy, and three others who stood as guarantors for the loans availed by Indu Projects.
The firm went bankrupt and the lender bank filed petition seeking initiation of insolvency process against the guarantors.
If the tribunal allows the plea, then personal assets of the guarantors will be liable for confiscation. Syam Prasad Reddy availed Rs 3,000 crore from banks as loans in the name of Indu Projects. The banks were initiating action against it at NCLT, while some banks were proceeding against guarantors. —Sagar Kumar Mutha
