Case Note & Summary
The matter before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal involved an application to extend the time granted for curing defects in a Memo of Appeal filed by Godawri Capital Pvt. Ltd. and another party. The Appellants initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 19th July 2026, but upon scrutiny by the Office on 3rd August 2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellants.
