Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application by Srei Equipment Finance Ltd. to extend the time for curing defects in their Memo of Appeal. The Appellant had initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 30.07.2026, but the Office identified defects on 14.08.2026 and notified the Appellant. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 24.08.2026. The Tribunal, after hearing the submissions from the Appellant's counsel and reviewing the reasons provided in the Interlocutory Application, found the reasons sufficient to justify the delay of 3 days in re-filing. 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.
