The Madras High Court-- which had set March 11 deadline to complete the hearing -- had recently taken note of the developments, including the final merger order passed by the Corporate Affairs Ministry.
In view of the recent developments, the Madras High Court had taken the position that CLB needs to complete the hearing expeditiously without having to be constrained by the earlier set deadline of March 11.
This stance of the Madras High Court was conveyed to CLB on March 10, following which April 6 was set as the next hearing date. The hearing date was later postponed to April 12.
The Centre had recently passed a final order directing the merger of crisis-hit National Spot Exchange Ltd with Financial Technologies (India) Ltd.
