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 absence of the Appellant. However, upon reviewing the application and the Office report, the Tribunal found the reasons provided for the delay to be sufficient. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the 17-day delay in re-filing the Memo of Appeal and directed that the case be listed for admission. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
