Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application for extending the time granted for curing defects in a Memo of Appeal filed by the Appellants against the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The Appellants initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 31.07.2026, but upon scrutiny by the Office on 18.08.2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellants. The Appellants subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 27.08.2026. During the hearing, the learned counsel for the Appellants presented submissions regarding the delay in re-filing. The Tribunal considered the reasons provided in the Interlocutory Application and found them sufficient to justify the delay of 02 days. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay and directed that the case be listed for admission under the fresh case heading. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
