Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by Devesh against Tata Capital Housing Finance Ltd. concerning an application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The appeal was heard following an interim order passed on 06.01.2026, which allowed the Resolution Professional to collate claims but prohibited further steps until the application under Section 12A was resolved. The interim order was initially set to expire on 24.08.2026, but the appellant's counsel argued for its extension, citing the need for the appeal to remain viable should the NCLT dismiss the Section 12A application. The Tribunal recognized the importance of the interim order and decided to extend it until the NCLT's decision on the Section 12A application, requesting that the NCLT dispose of the application within six weeks. The Tribunal ultimately disposed of I.A. No. 6053 of 2026, ensuring that the appellant could revive the appeal if necessary.
