Case Note & Summary
The matter before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal involved an application for rectification of typographical errors in a previous order dated 25.03.2026 concerning Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 2273 of 2024. The applicant, Zen Agrifoods LLP, originally a respondent in the case, identified errors where it was incorrectly referred to as 'Respondent No.3' instead of 'Respondent No.2', which was Mr. Bismillahkhan Ayubkhan Pathan. The application sought to correct these references in the judgment to reflect the accurate designation of the parties involved. During the proceedings, the learned counsels for both sides were present, and the respondents expressed no objection to the proposed rectification. The Tribunal, upon reviewing the application and the absence of any opposition, granted the request to amend the order accordingly. The rectification was deemed necessary to maintain procedural fairness and accuracy in the judicial record. The Tribunal allowed the substitution of the terms as requested, ensuring that the order accurately represented the parties involved in the case. The decision was made by a bench comprising Justice N Seshasayee, Arun Baroka, and Indevar Pandey, and the order was issued on July 09, 2026.
