Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal filed by Purnima Buildmart Private Limited against an order of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) dated 17.04.2026. The controversy arose from a letter dated 16.08.2025, allegedly signed by the respondent, Veena Gupta, indicating her intention to withdraw a pending company petition. The respondent later claimed that the letter was forged, leading to multiple applications being filed by both parties. The appellant sought directions for the respondent to appear and provide clarifications regarding the circumstances surrounding the letter. The NCLAT heard the arguments from both sides and noted that the applications were scheduled for hearing on 09.06.2026. The Tribunal disposed of the appeal by requesting the NCLT to consider the applications and determine if the respondent's presence was necessary for the proceedings. The appeal was thus disposed of along with any pending interim applications.
