CBI arrests NCLT deputy registrar in bribery case - The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Charan Pratap Singh, the deputy registrar of the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), along with an associate, for allegedly accepting a ₹3 lakh bribe. Singh is accused of manipulating court proceedings to favor a hotelier involved in a property dispute. The arrest, following a sting operation, highlights concerns about potential corruption within the NCLT's administrative machinery, which is crucial for corporate insolvency and other business disputes. The CBI is investigating whether this is part of a larger nexus of corruption within the tribunal.
