The resolution professional of Aircel sought excluding the 127 days it lost in fighting and winning a case against the government and Bharti Airtel so that it could seek fresh bids for the remaining assets of the crippled company.
The IBC-mandated 270 days for a resolution is already over for the bankrupt company.
It may be noted that on January 12, 2019, the Supreme Court had directed Bharti Airtel to pay ₹453 crore immediately to Aircel. The court had also asked DoT to pay ₹298 crore to the operator.
