The HC allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order dated 5 Sept 2024. It held that the Central Government validly activated SFIO pursuant to a representation by the resolution professional appointed by the NCLT, and that on 2 Aug 2021 Respondent Nos. 1-2 were legitimately subject to SFIO criminal investigation under s.447 of the Companies Act, 2013, satisfying clause 6(h) of the memorandum.
