Case Note & Summary
The appeal was filed by the Suspended Director of the Corporate Debtor against an order dated 07.05.2026 issued by the Learned Adjudicating Authority, which corrected a clerical error in a previous order dated 06.05.2026. The correction pertained to the name of the Corporate Debtor and was deemed to be of a minor clerical nature. During the hearing, the Tribunal queried the Appellant's counsel regarding the grievance against the Impugned Order, but no satisfactory explanation was provided. The Tribunal reviewed the appeal and concluded that the correction did not warrant an appeal as it did not impact the Appellant's rights. Furthermore, it was noted that another similar clerical error had been corrected in a subsequent order on 20.07.2026. Ultimately, the Tribunal found no merit in the appeal and dismissed it, stating that the correction was trivial and did not necessitate further legal scrutiny. The Tribunal also ordered that there would be no costs associated with the dismissal of the appeal.
