Sanjay and Ajay Chandra &#8212; failing to get relief from the top court in coming out of Tihar Jail and Amrapali boss Anil Sharma and two directors being put under police surveillance away from their homes.<\/p>\n<p>The Jaypee Group also had a tough time throughout the year as investors kept up the pressure for possession of their flats which have been delayed in many cases for more than five years.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the legal developments in the real estate sector, a big corporate battle was seen in the top court when steel and mining major ArcelorMittal approached it challenging the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) order which had held that Numetal&#8217;s Rs 37,000 crore offer in second-round bid for Essar Steel was valid.<\/p>\n<p>The top court granted one more opportunity to ArcelorMittal and Russia&#8217;s VTB Bank-promoted Numetal to bid for Essar Steel, provided the two pay off the non-performing assets of their related corporate debtors within two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Another embattled corporate house, Sahara Group, was also in the news in the top court throughout the year over the issue of depositing money in the SEBI-SAHARA account for which it has been facing tough time for over six years.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing litigation on air pollution took a new turn in the 2018 when the top court hit hard the automobile industry by ordering that no Bharat Stage-IV vehicle would be sold or registered in India from April 1, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>A tough stand was also taken by the top court to regulate the firecrackers and the industry involved in it got a rude shock before Diwali that only &#8220;green crackers&#8221;
