Case Note & Summary

The dispute arose from a Company Appeal filed by Kamini Metalliks Private Limited against an order of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Hyderabad Bench, concerning an interlocutory application related to the mortgage of the Corporate Debtor's property and shares. The NCLT had ordered that the mortgage and pledge would remain in effect until the Respondent repaid its dues to Orissa Power Consortium Ltd. During the proceedings, the Respondent confirmed that all dues had been repaid and submitted an affidavit along with a no due certificate. The Appellant did not contest this assertion and agreed that the appeal could be closed based on the affidavit. Consequently, the Tribunal decided to close the Company Appeal, indicating that there were no remaining issues to be resolved on the merits.
