NCLT has jurisdiction over matters related to companies law, including cases of oppression and mismanagement, mergers and amalgamations, winding up of companies, and insolvency proceedings.
NCLT plays a crucial role in upholding corporate governance standards by adjudicating cases of oppression and mismanagement brought by shareholders or stakeholders against the company's management.
NCLT has the authority to wind up companies in cases where it is necessary for the protection of stakeholders' interests or due to non-compliance with legal requirements.
The NCLT consists of judicial and technical members appointed by the government. Judicial members are typically retired judges, while technical members are experts in fields such as finance, accountancy, or law.
