Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application to extend the time for curing defects in the Memo of Appeal filed by The Indure Private Limited against B.K. Coal Fields Pvt. Ltd. The Appellant initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 19.07.2026, but the Office identified defects on 31.07.2026 and notified the Appellant. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 21.08.2026. During the proceedings, no representative appeared for the Appellant, while the Respondents' counsel opposed the application for delay in re-filing due to the Appellant's absence. However, upon reviewing the Interlocutory Application and the Office report, the Tribunal found the reasons for the delay to be sufficient. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the 14-day delay in re-filing the Memo of Appeal and ordered the case to be listed for admission under fresh cases. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of.
