Case Note & Summary
The matter before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal involved an application for extending the time granted for curing defects in a Memo of Appeal. The Appellant, Srei Equipment Finance Ltd., initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 30th July 2026. Upon scrutiny, the Office identified defects and notified the Appellant on 14th August 2026. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 24th August 2026. The Tribunal heard the submissions made by the Appellant's counsel and reviewed the Interlocutory Application along with the Office report. Considering the reasons provided in the application, the Tribunal found them sufficient to justify the delay of three days in re-filing. 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.
