Case Note & Summary
The case involved Kundan Minerals and Metals Ltd. as the appellant against Sandeep Khaitan and others as respondents. The appellant filed an application to extend the time granted for curing defects in their Memo of Appeal, which was initially e-filed on 07.08.2026. The Office scrutinized the Memo of Appeal on 18.08.2026 and informed the appellant of the defects on the same day. The appellant subsequently re-filed the appeal on 01.09.2026. During the proceedings, no representative appeared for the appellant. The Tribunal reviewed the reasons stated in the Interlocutory Application and deemed them sufficient to justify the delay of 07 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal. 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.
