Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application by IIFL Home Finance Limited seeking to extend the time granted for curing defects in their Memo of Appeal against Bombay Isle Developers Private Limited. The Appellants initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 03.07.2026, but upon scrutiny by the Office on 21.07.2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellants. The Appellants subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 11.08.2026. The Tribunal heard the submissions made by the counsel for the Appellants and reviewed the averments in the Interlocutory Application along with the Office report. The Tribunal found the reasons provided in the application sufficient to justify the delay of 14 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay and directed that the case be listed before the Hon’ble Bench for admission as a fresh case. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of.
