REVEALED: Haunted – Echoes Of The Past got NCLT nod for June 12 release; makers directed to deposit all revenues in separate bank account

On June 10, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench III, permitted the release of Vikram Bhatt's horror film Haunted – Echoes Of The Past on June 12, even as the project remains embroiled in an insolvency-related legal dispute. However, the Tribunal has imposed strict conditions to safeguard the interests of the ongoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP).
