Proceedings before the High Court were instituted by Punjab National Bank after Kingfisher Airlines was represented by a senior advocate at hearings to determine if the airline was to be classified a willful defaulter. The High Court, mindful of the ramifications of being labeled a willful defaulter, noted that preventing the borrower from being represented by counsel of its choosing could amount to a denial of natural justice. It equated the Grievance Redressal Committee to a quasi-judicial forum, akin to a Tribunal, having been constituted by Master Circular of the Reserve Bank of India.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Gujarat Steel Tubes Ltd. v.
