<p>
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear low-cost airline Spicejet&rsquo;s plea against the Madras High Court order to wind up the company.</p>
<p>
Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi pleaded before the apex court that if the matter was not heard urgently, the proceedings to wind up the airline would begin on January 28.</p>
<p>
After this, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) agreed to hear the matter. The matter is likely to be heard on Friday.</p>
<p>
A single bench of the Madras High Court had on December 7 ordered the winding up of Spicejet Ltd on a petition filed by Credit Suisse AG, a Switzerland based Stock Corporation and a creditor, who alleged that SpiceJet is unable to pay the debts owed to the firm.</p>
<p>
The matter pertains to a decade-long standoff between the two entities over unpaid dues by Ajay Singh-led Spicejet of close to Rs 180 crore.</p>
<p>
The court had agreed to put a stay on the operation of winding up till January 28 so that the budget airline could approach the Supreme Court on the matter.</p>
