In his ruling, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brendan Shannon said that unlike a complaint he tossed in 2019, the third amended complaint filed in the case by Essar's litigation trustee contains enough specific allegations against former Essar Steel President and CEO Madhu Vuppuluri and Chief Financial Officer Sanjay Bhartia to survive their motion to dismiss.
