Case Note & Summary
The case involved Kundan Minerals and Metals Ltd. as the Appellant against Sandeep Khaitan & Ors. as Respondents. The Appellant filed an application to extend the time for curing defects in their Memo of Appeal, which was initially e-filed on 07.08.2026. After scrutiny, the Office notified the Appellant of defects on 18.08.2026, and the Appellant re-filed the Appeal on 01.09.2026. However, no representation was made on behalf of the Appellant during the hearing. The Tribunal reviewed the reasons provided in the Interlocutory Application and deemed them sufficient to justify the delay of 07 days in re-filing. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay and ordered that the case be listed for admission as a fresh case. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
