In proceedings under ss. 241-242 of the Companies Act, 2013, the dominant issue was whether an interim stay order was vitiated for want of reasons. It was held that an interim order under Rules 11 and 32 of the NCLT Rules, 2016 is discretionary, requires only prima facie satisfaction, and is not a merits adjudication warranting elaborate reasoning; moreover, the order was passed after hearing and was not ex parte, and the cited sentencing jurisprudence was inapplicable.
