The Government of India authorizes Antrix to move to “wind up” Devas on the basis of fraud.  That same day, and with virtually no notice to Devas, Prime Minister Modi’s right-hand lawyer, India’s Solicitor General, Tushar Mehta, urgently requests the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), a specialized companies court, to liquidate Devas and expropriate its property, claiming the Devas Agreement “had been obtained fraudulently and that an immediate wind-up of Devas was the appropriate remedy.”
