The CoC, which is scheduled to meet tomorrow to take up the resolution plan of the highest bidder Tata Steel, would consider the objections raised by the employees.

The tribunal has also directed the insolvency resolution professional (IRP) to report the decision on the objections of the employees.

"Objections filed by the applicants would be forwarded to CoC for consideration. Any decision taken would be communicated to NCLT at the time of submission of the final resolution plan," said NCLT President Justice M M Kumar.
