Case Note & Summary
The matter before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal involved an application by DMP Vanijya Pvt. Ltd. seeking to extend the time for curing defects in their Memo of Appeal. The Appellant had initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 09.07.2026, but upon scrutiny by the Office on 24.07.2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellant. Subsequently, the Appellant re-filed the Appeal on 21.08.2026. During the hearing, the learned counsel for the Appellant presented submissions regarding the reasons for the delay. The Tribunal considered these submissions and found them sufficient to justify the delay of 21 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay and ordered that the case be listed for admission under the fresh case heading. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
