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. The Appellant re-filed the appeal on 21.08.2026, after which the Respondents opposed the application for delay in re-filing due to the absence of representation for the Appellant. However, upon reviewing the application and the Office report, the Tribunal found the reasons provided by the Appellant to be sufficient. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay of 14 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal and directed that the case be listed for admission. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with the order to proceed (Paras Not mentioned).
