In the meantime, the High Court of Delhi, has been pleased to vacate the said ad-interim order of injunction to the extent that the company has been allowed to go ahead with the sale of the property at Hyderabad in terms of the agreement for sale dated 30 August 2019.

In August 2019, Eveready Industries concluded an agreement with Nuland Technologies, for sale of its land in Hyderabad for a consideration of Rs 100 crore.

IL&FS, which had given a term loan of Rs 170 crore to Williamson Magor Group, had filed a case for non-payment of dues.

Eveready Industries clarified in September that the court order against the company was not legally tenable as it is neither a party to any agreement or arrangement with the petitioner, in respect of the said alleged dues nor does any claim pertaining to the said dues arise from the company.
