of lenders. NCLAT in the order also mentioned that Central
Govt. may also as a part of investigation, direct, at the cost
of the company, forensic audit of the company under
supervision of the official of CAG at least since 2005 if not
earlier. PFC has filed an application in NCLT Ahmedabad
on 16th February 2018 to start Corporate Insolvency
