Max Healthcare Institute Limited disclosed that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Cuttack has adjourned the hearing on petitions filed by BRS Capital Two Pte. Limited against its subsidiary, Kalinga Hospital Ltd. The next hearing is scheduled for October 29, 2026.
The matter was originally listed for a hearing on September 28, 2026, at 2:30 pm. However, the tribunal could not proceed with the hearing due to a paucity of time. Consequently, the bench deferred the proceedings to late October to allow for further arguments and examination of the case details.
