The tribunal granted relief regarding the capital structure, extinguishing liabilities towards financial and operational creditors, legal proceedings, and taxation matters. Key directives include cancellation of existing equity/preference shares, issuance of new shares to the bidder, extinguishment of unpaid interest/claims of financial creditors, settlement of operational creditor dues from liquidation proceeds, cessation of liabilities/litigation prior to transfer date, and exemption from taxes/levies arising from the acquisition. The income tax authorities were directed to allow representation for past assessments without burdening the corporate debtor/bidder, and tax-neutral adjustment of balancing debit/credit in reserves.
