NFTs are distinguished by their non-fungibility, as implied by their name, and NFTs’ legal validity in India is a thing to take into consideration. In economic terms, fungibility is the capacity of an asset to be traded for value with other individual assets of the same sort. This implies that fungible assets of the same denomination have the same worth. NFTs, on the other hand, are not interchangeable, irreplaceable, or unique by definition. Concept of NFTs The idea behind NFTs' legal validity in India is to generate scarcity and shortage in the seemingly unlimited supply of virtual commodities. As a result, NFTs promise to develop a one-of-a-kind "digital original" that can be unambiguously identified to the

Bona fide Dispute

Bona fide Dispute What is bona-fide dispute? If there is a bona fide and reasonable dispute as to a substantial part of the debt on which the petition is based, and the defence is a substantial one, the Court tends to refuse winding up. However, a dispute is considered to be substantial and genuine if it is bona fide and not spurious, speculative, illusory or misconceived. When the question as to genuineness of the dispute is put before the Court, the Company Court, at that stage, is not expected to hold a full trial of the matter. A bona fide dispute must be differentiated from ‘neglect to pay’. This means, even when a debtor company believes wrongly that it justified in law to refuse payment, such a refusal cannot be regarded as neglect to pay. On the contrary, where the debt is undisputed, the court will not act upon a defence that the company has the ability to pay the debt but did not choose to pay that particular debt. Now the question which comes up is whether it is necessary to
