Case Note & Summary
The matter before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal involved an application to extend the time for curing defects in a Memo of Appeal filed by the Appellant. The Appellant, Arun Kumar Raii & Anr., had e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 07.08.2026. Upon scrutiny by the Office on 10.08.2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellant on the same day. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 30.08.2026. The Tribunal heard the submissions made by the Appellant's counsel and reviewed the averments in the Interlocutory Application as well as the Office report. The Tribunal found the reasons provided in the application sufficient to justify the delay of 13 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.
