Case Note & Summary
The case involved two civil appeals filed before the Supreme Court of India, arising from judgments of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). The appellants, Ashish Saraf and Facor Alloys Limited, challenged the decisions made by the NCLAT on 12.03.2020 and 25.11.2020, respectively. The core issue was whether the Supreme Court should exercise its appellate jurisdiction to interfere with the NCLAT's judgments. After hearing the arguments from learned Senior Counsel for both parties, the Supreme Court found no compelling reason to intervene in the NCLAT's decisions. Consequently, the court dismissed the civil appeals, indicating that the NCLAT's judgments were sound and did not require judicial review. The court also disposed of any pending applications related to the case. The decision was delivered on September 27, 2021.
