27-Dec-2024
| Vanashakti has filed an Original Application before the National Green Tribunal, Western Zone Bench, Pune, raising environmental concerns regarding illegal construction and operation of Casting Yard and Cement Mixing Plants by J. Kumar Infraprojects Limited (“The Company”) within the Eco-Sensitive Zone (“ESZ”) of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (“SGNP”), Mumbai, Maharashtra. Vanashakti contends that these activities result in serious environmental degradation, including unauthorized clearing of forested land, dust pollution, habitat disruption, and illegal encroachments, in violation of the ESZ Notification dated December 5, 2016, and multiple environmental laws. Despite repeated representations and RTI queries, alleged regulatory inaction has allowed continued polluting operations, posing severe risks to biodiversity and local communities. Vanashakti seeks an immediate cessation of these activities, demolition of illegal structures, penalties for violators, and restoration of the damaged ecological areas. The Company refutes these claims categorically, asserting the Original Application is misconceived, lacking any legal or factual basis, and barred by limitation. JKIL states that its operations relate exclusively to authorized casting yard activities for the Mumbai Metro Rail Project, with Ready-Mix Concrete (“RMC”) plants having been closed following directions from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (“MPCB”). The Company emphasizes that all requisite approvals and consents were duly obtained from regulatory authorities, including MPCB, the Thane Municipal Corporation, and the ESZ Monitoring Committee, which explicitly permits infrastructure projects of national importance like the Mumbai Metro within the ESZ. JKIL highlights that the ESZ Notification exempts such projects, and that retrospective application of restrictions to the ongoing metro works is legally untenable. The Company further contends that no credible expert evidence exists to substantiate environmental harm from its operations, which are vital public infrastructure initiatives intended to improve urban mobility and reduce pollution. Both parties are engaged in ongoing proceedings before the Honourable National Green Tribunal, with the Company praying for dismissal of the Application on grounds of maintainability, limitation, and lack of merit, while underscoring the need to balance environmental protection with critical infrastructure development. |

| Vighnaharta Enterprises |
22-Aug-2025
| Vighnaharta Enterprises has raised a claim of Rs. 3.60 Crores against J Kumar Infraprojects Limited (“The Company”) as outstanding dues for civil engineering utility diversion works and commercial vehicle hire services provided under contract with Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for the Mumbai Metro Project. Vighnaharta Enterprises maintains that the amounts are payable as per certified work completion, statutory timelines under the MSMED Act, and admitted ledger entries by Then Company. Vighnaharta Enterprises has obtained legal advice supporting the legitimacy of its claim and is in the process of pursuing insolvency proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, to recover the outstanding operational debt. The Company refutes the claim of operational debt, asserting the existence of significant and bona fide disputes related to quality of work, pending defect liability periods, and recoveries initiated by MMRDA for substandard performance by Vighnaharta Enterprises. The Company contends that the insolvency petition is an abuse of process, filed without admitted liability, and amounts to a coercive recovery attempt outside the scope of insolvency law. The Company emphasizes its strong financial position, ongoing infrastructure commitments, and asserts that the dispute is contractual and ought to be adjudicated in competent civil or arbitral forums, not via insolvency proceedings. There are ongoing legal proceedings where both parties are engaged, and similar disputes are being addressed by appropriate judicial authorities. The Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal is seized of the matter, and the parties await its decision on the maintainability and merits of the insolvency petition filed by Vighnaharta Enterprises against The Company. |
The matter has been amicably settled between the parties, pursuant to which the insolvency proceedings have been disposed of by the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench. |
