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. and others. 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 24.08.2026. During the hearing, 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, the Tribunal reviewed the Interlocutory Application and the Office report, concluding that the reasons provided were sufficient to justify the delay. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the 17-day delay and directed that the case be listed for admission under the fresh case heading. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
