## Summary

### Background

The case pertains to C.P.(I.B) No.164/NCLT/AHM/2020 before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench. The order was issued following a hearing on September 28, 2020. The matter involves Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan Attorneys V/s AMW Motors Ltd.

(I.B) 184/2018, had already been admitted against the same Corporate Debtor, AMW Motors Ltd, on 2020-09-01. The court noted that no one appeared on behalf of the parties during the hearing. Because of the prior admission of C.P. (I.B) 184/2018, the court deemed the instant application, C.P.(I.B) No.164/NCLT/AHM/2020, infructuous.
