Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application to extend the time granted for curing defects in a Memo of Appeal filed by the Appellant, Sumit Sharma, against the Registrar of Companies, Kolkata. The Appellant initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 21 July 2026. After scrutiny, the Office communicated the defects to the Appellant on 17 August 2026. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 25 August 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 considered the reasons provided in the application to be sufficient and decided to condone the delay of one day in re-filing the Memo of Appeal. Consequently, the Tribunal ordered that the case be listed before the Hon’ble Bench under the heading ‘for admission (fresh case)’. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
