Case Note & Summary
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal addressed multiple company appeals involving various appellants against the Directorate of Enforcement and other respondents. The appeals were called repeatedly, but no counsel appeared on behalf of the appellants, despite previous representation noted in the order sheet. The tribunal observed that the appellants had not diligently participated in the proceedings, leading to the conclusion that the appeals should be dismissed for non-prosecution. Consequently, any interim orders previously in place were vacated. The tribunal's decision emphasized the importance of active participation in legal proceedings, and the absence of representation was deemed sufficient grounds for dismissal.
