It may be recalled that the NVCC, the apex body of 13 lakh traders of Vidarbha has courted controversy after past members accused the incumbent members of malpractice.

National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) later appointed U C Natha (Former CCI Member) as an Administrator of NVCC and had directed him to carry-out a special audit/ transaction audit/ forensic audit to examine and submit reports on all past resolutions/ decisions/ agreements executed by NVCC.

Recently, NCLAT dismissed a complaint filed by Ramavtar Totla and Ashwin Mehadia by observing that the latter had filed a complaint without any knowledge of the Administrator.
