Corporate lenders vs taxman: Round one of bankruptcy bout goes to the lenders

Finance

Administrators selling off bankrupt companies, or their assets piecemeal, need not worry about claims from the income tax authorities.

The ruling is set to give comfort to lenders looking to recover money without having to worry about the tax implications. Liquidators at S.Kumars had dragged the income tax department to NCLAT after they sold off some of the assets of the company to UPL limited for Rs 43 crore.

Adama Traore failed to intimidate the Chorley bench as they laughed off his confrontation during their FA Cup fourth round tie on Friday night.

Midway through the second half, Traore made a late challenge and barged over a Chorley man in front of the home bench. They all jumped up and a free kick was given, prompting a response from the famously muscular Premier League star.

As for the game itself, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo may have made six changes from the side beaten by West Brom last time out, but the ch
