The Supreme Court raised concerns over MCA interference in NCLT administration, flagging staff shortages, poor infrastructure and outsourcing of recruitment to private firms. Observing that the government ‘wants to have complete grip over the institution’, Chief Justice Surya Kant warned that executive control is impinging on tribunal autonomy as resolution delays worsen. SC says NCLT administration has been 'completely hijacked' by the Corporate Affairs Ministry, questions outsourced recruitment and demands tribunal.
