Case Note & Summary
The case involved appeals filed by Yassh Deep Builders LLP against orders of the NCLT, Chandigarh, dated 22.05.2026 and 12.06.2026, concerning a company petition. The appellants contended that the NCLT had issued an interim order without addressing the maintainability of the petition, which they found objectionable. The NCLT had set a timeline for the completion of pleadings by 03.07.2026, with arguments to be heard on that date. The respondents indicated their intention to file a rejoinder to the reply received. The NCLAT, upon reviewing the submissions, decided to dispose of the appeals by instructing the NCLT to adhere to the scheduled hearing date and to resolve the matter expeditiously, ideally within four weeks. The NCLAT also noted that the rights and contentions regarding the maintainability of the petition would remain unaffected by this order. The appeals were thus dismissed, and pending applications were closed.
