The dispute
Forbes reports that the brothers have been in a feud since 2020 3. The legal side of the disagreement is a set of proceedings between Solar Industries and Kailash Chandra Nuwal and others:
Forbes says he stepped down as vice chairman and director in 2019 for failing to disclose a stake in a private company, then went to the NCLT seeking reinstatement 1.
The NCLT passed an order on 9 February 2021, and the NCLAT ruled on Solar's appeal on 14 December 2021 46.
On 10 January 2022 the Supreme Court stayed both orders 4.
On 26 August 2025 the Supreme Court disposed of the appeal because the directorship term had ended on 31 March 2021, and asked the NCLT to hear the company petition on merits, leaving all contentions open 5.
Neither brother has given a detailed public account, and the merits have not been decided in any ruling reviewed for this page. It will be updated if the NCLT issues a final decision.
