NCLT to hear final arguments in McDonald’s case on 15 March

New Delhi: The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Friday said it will start hearing the final arguments in the contempt plea against American fast food chain McDonald’s Corp. filed by its estranged partner Vikram Bakshi on 15 March.

This came as McDonald’s filed a reply to the contempt notice of NCLT last week, after being given a final warning by the tribunal.

A bench comprising justice Deepti Mukesh and S.K. Mohapatra was hearing an appeal filed by Bakshi, who is the managing director of the McDonald’s north and east India licencee Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd (CPRL), in September 2017.
