NCLT Allahabad has deferred an EGM requisitioned by JMNIPL to remove directors at Jagran Prakashan. The company petitions are listed for further hearing on April 16, 2026. Orders have been reserved on related applications.
The deferral of the EGM and the ongoing legal proceedings concerning director appointments and removals can have a significant impact on the company's governance and strategic direction.
The NCLT has deferred the EGM and reserved orders, indicating a neutral development as the outcome is pending further hearings and a formal order.
Jagran Prakashan Limited (JPL) announced that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Allahabad, has reserved orders on three applications filed in two company petitions, "Mahendra Mohan Gupta and Ors v. Devendra Mohan Gupta and Ors., C.P. No. 64 of 2023" and "Shailendra Mohan Gupta and Ors v. Jagran Media Network Investment Private Limited and Ors., C.P. No. 57 of 2025".
Following the hearing on March 19, 2026, the NCLT has directed that the Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM) of JPL, which was requisitioned by Jagran Media Network Investment Private Limited (JMNIPL) to remove seven Independent Directors and one Whole-Time Director, be deferred. The requisition has been put in abeyance until the disposal of the company applications.
The main company petitions, C.P. No. 64 of 2023 and C.P. No. 57 of 2025, are scheduled for further hearing on April 16, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. The company will provide further updates upon material developments and the release of the NCLT's signed order.
