As a result, Prag Distillery will continue to provide gainful employment to approximately 100 employees.

In furtherance to its settlement, Standard Chartered Bank approached the liquidator for withdrawing the application filed against Prag Distillery which was approved by stakeholders with 100 per cent votes.

Pursuant to the same, the liquidator filed an application at NCLT for withdrawal of Prag Distillery from liquidation.

In exercise of its discretionary power, the NCLT pronounced the order stating that Prag Distillery is out of liquidation and paved the way for reinstatement of the company’s Board of Directors, the statement said.
