A settlement has been reached between TVS Automobile Solutions Pvt Ltd and KPN Travels with the latter coming forward to clear the dues payable to TVS automobile. A settlement was signed recently between the two parties, said the counsel for TVS Automobile before National Company Law Tribunal, Chennai, on Friday, during a hearing.
The Counsel filed an application before the NCLT for correction of a mistake that he made in the respondent’s CIN number, which was incorporated in the Tribunal’s previous order.

The Bench pointed out since the agreement was signed, this application becomes infructuous. However, the counsel pointed out that the law requires that the IRP file the copy of the settlement before the Court.
The Bench posted the matter on November 11, 2021, with all the relevant applications.
Early this month, the NCLT had ordered insolvency proceedings against KPN Travels in a case filed by TVS Automobile for not receiving payment for supply of various goods.
