Issues Involved:
1. Petitioner offering hospital facility to Respondent No.1 during NCLT proceedings. Analysis: The judgment delivered by the Hon'ble Chief Justice and Hon'ble Ms. Justice Jyoti Singh of the Delhi High Court pertains to a writ petition where the Petitioner, a Doctor by profession and former Director of a multispeciality hospital, offered the hospital facility to Respondent No.1 amidst NCLT proceedings. The Petitioner expressed readiness to deposit Rs.15 Lakhs as an initial contribution and Rs.4 Lakhs per month for running the hospital, with the remaining funds to be generated from patient payments. The Petitioner assured not to claim any control over the hospital, presenting the offer as a goodwill gesture during the Covid-19 pandemic. After hearing both parties' counsels and considering the case's circumstances, the Court directed Respondent No.1 to decide on the Petitioner's offer. The decision was to be based on the Petitioner's funding commitment, lack of control claim, and the reply affidavit of Respondent No. 3. The Court emphasized the potential usefulness of the offer in the current situation and expected Respondent No.1 to make a prompt decision within three weeks from the judgment date. Consequently, the writ petition and application were disposed of by the Court.
