Case Note & Summary

The matter involved appeals filed by Sonu Kumar and Anil Kumar against Majinder Singh Sandhu and others before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. On 29th September 2026, the Tribunal noted that no representatives appeared on behalf of the appellants, both on the current date and the previous hearing. This consistent absence led the Tribunal to conclude that the appellants were not interested in pursuing their appeals. Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the appeals for non-prosecution and closed any pending applications. The decision underscored the importance of representation in legal proceedings and the consequences of failing to appear.
