New Delhi, Jan 30 (KNN) In a game-changing ruling, India’s Supreme Court has significantly altered the country’s insolvency landscape by mandating that any Resolution Plan involving mergers or acquisitions (termed “combinations”) must first obtain approval from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) before being reviewed by the Committee of Creditors (CoC).
This decision, passed by a three-judge bench, reinforces the importance of competitive markets and ensures that antitrust concerns are addressed early in the insolvency process.
Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), companies undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) receive bids from potential buyers.

Gambling can have detrimental impacts on families and relationships, and if you’re…
Bruno Mars has just released a new song, ‘Fat, Juicy & Wet’ (I wonder what that’s supposed to be about) and is celebrating hitting a major milestone in music.
The singer has become the first musician to rack up 150 million monthly streams on Spotify, and given how much the streaming platform pays artists that’s probably worth several hundred thousand dollars to Mars.
Sharing the happy news of his success to his Instagram Stories, Bruno Mars also took the time to poke fun at the rumours that he was in serious levels of debt.
In case you didn’t know, last year there were claims from NewsNation that the singer had accumulated a hefty gambling debt of…
Bruno Mars is a real high roller, especially if his record-breaking number of Spotify listeners is any indication.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the “Just The Way You Are” singer surpassed 150 million monthly listeners on the streaming service. (Notably, the number has since dropped back down to 149 million, but these types of small fluctuations are common when news like this breaks).

For comparison: Taylor Swift has 86 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and Beyoncé has 56 million.
Mars took to his Instagram Story thread to celebrate the big milestone, while also taking an opportunity to reference his alleged gambling debt. “I’ll be out of debt in no time,” he…
