Question

Under Section 424(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, the NCLT has the same powers as are vested in a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, for which of the following purposes?

Accepted Answer

D. {'text': 'Summoning and enforcing the attendance of any person and examining him on oath, and requiring the discovery and production of documents', 'label': 'D'}

1. Section 424(2) Companies Act, 2013, codifies the civil-court powers of the NCLT/NCLAT.
2. Lesson 12 lists eight powers, including: (a) **summoning and enforcing attendance and examining on oath**; (b) **requiring discovery and production of documents**; (c) receiving evidence on affidavits; (d) requisitioning public records (subject to ss. 123-124 IEA); (e) issuing commissions; (f) dismissing ex parte; (g) setting aside ex parte orders; (h) any other prescribed matter.
3. Arrest, search and bail powers are NOT vested in NCLT — these belong to criminal courts under CrPC.
