Case Note & Summary
The dispute arose from an appeal filed by Ajit Singh against an order dated 25.08.2025 of the National Company Law Tribunal, New Delhi, which dismissed an application to recall an ex-parte order dated 02.07.2025. The appeal was heard in hybrid mode by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, where it was noted that the main petition related to the application had already been disposed of by the Adjudicating Authority. The appellant acknowledged that a separate appeal had been filed against the final order, which was pending before the same bench. Given these circumstances, the tribunal concluded that the appeal had become infructuous as a final order had been issued in the underlying proceedings. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed on these grounds.
