The government had approached the NCLT to take over the management of Unitech alleging mismanagement and siphoning of funds by the management. NCLT has also issued a notice to Unitech Ltd directing it to file the reply. “They have permitted the central government to appoint 10 nominee directors to run the day to day business and list of that would be given by 20th December,” said Additional Solicitor General Sanjay Jain who had appeared on behalf of the government in NCLT. He further said: “In the meanwhile, the suspended directors of the company shall not sell, mortgage or create charge either their properties or company’s properties.”
