Case Note & Summary
The matter before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal involved an application to extend the time granted for curing defects in the Memo of Appeal filed by the Appellant, Vijay Shobhalal Shah, against Hi-Tech Water Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd and others. The Appellant initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 25.06.2026, but upon scrutiny by the Office on 13.07.2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellant. Subsequently, the Appellant re-filed the Appeal on 17.08.2026. During the hearing, the learned counsel for the Appellant presented submissions regarding the delay and the reasons for seeking an extension. The Tribunal considered these submissions and found them sufficient to justify the delay of 28 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 with this order.
