Read the following passage carefully.
A bankruptcy court has directed a resolution professional to assess whether personal
insolvency proceedings should start against Rohit Kalra, the former promoter of Rajasi
Housing Finance Ltd (RHFL) for recovering Rs. 4,512 crore in dues to the State Bank of
India.
Experts said that Rohit Kalra’s likely insolvency would be one of the high-profile personal
bankruptcy cases, such as that against Vijay Mallya, to reach the National Company Law
Tribunal (NCLT).
Consequently, this case would have a bearing on the personal insolvency proceedings
against Vijay Mallya, the owner of Kingfisher airlines. It will be a crucial judgment as it
could decide the fates of several other defaulting promoters, too.
Lender claims against Rohit Kalra are expected to cross Rs. 25,000 crore. The Delhi NCLT
has appointed Sudesh Mehta as the resolution professional. Mehta will now verify the
Page 13 of 15
claims made by the SBI. He will recommend to the NCLT whether to initiate individual
insolvency proceedings against Rohit Kalra.
Rohit was arrested on 4th April 2020 when a district court convicted him of money
laundering. After spending 10 months in a private hospital, the CBI court ordered that
Wadhawan be shifted out of Lilamani Hospital to the Tihar prison. Last week, the Delhi
High Court ordered and directed Tihar jail to take him to Lilamani Hospital for surgery.
Answer the following questions:
87. According to the passage, Rohit Kalra has been (c) He has been convicted of a
convicted of which of the following cases? money laundering case.
(a) He has been convicted of a murder case of one of
his personal executives.
(b) He has been convicted of a fraud scam of
government jobs.
(c) He has been convicted of a money laundering
case.
(d) He has been convicted of a drug scam case with a
big pharma company.
88. What should be the most suitable title for the above (a) Rohit Kalra – the Corporate
passage? Culprit
(a) Rohit Kalra – the Corporate Culprit
(b) Gloomy Days in Kingfisher
(c) The Corrupt turned Insolvent Owner
(d) Money Laundering with SBI
89. Which is the most suitable antonym for (c) acquittal
“conviction”?
(a) judgement (b) sentence
(c) acquittal (d) arrest
90. Which among the following is a correct statement for (d) Both statements I and II are

(b) Only statement II is true
(c) Only statement I is true
(d) Both statements I and II are true
