Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application filed by Sandeep Behl seeking clarification and setting aside a direction related to the fees of the Resolution Professional as contained in a judgment dated 08.11.2024. The application was filed on 27.05.2026, after the appeal against the original judgment had been dismissed by the Supreme Court on 21.02.2025. The court noted that the judgment had merged with the Supreme Court's order, rendering the application for clarification unnecessary. The respondent's counsel argued that if the applicant wished to delete the judgment's portion, he should have filed an appeal or review within the limitation period. The tribunal considered this submission and decided not to entertain the application, ultimately dismissing it and advising the applicant to pursue alternative remedies as per law. The decision was made by Justice Yogesh Khanna and other members of the tribunal.
