Authority: National Company Law Tribunal, Court Room No. 1, Mumbai Bench, Single Bench
Order Date: 18.06.2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Mumbai Bench heard Appeal No. 249 of 2026 filed by Arpanna Motors Private Limited under Section 230-232 and Rule 63 of the National Company Law Tribunal Rules, 2016. The appeal was filed with a delay of 27 days. The Tribunal noted that there was no satisfactory explanation provided for condoning this delay in the application. However, acting in the interest of justice, the Bench decided to grant an opportunity for removing objections while imposing costs as justification.
Final Outcome
The NCLT allowed the appeal by condoning the 27-day delay subject to specific conditions: (1) Payment of costs of ₹5,000 to be made to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund using Virtual Payment Address pmnrf@centralbank; (2) The appellant must pay this cost from their own pocket and file proof of payment with the Registry; (3) The Registry must verify the proof of payment before allowing the appellant to cure defects; (4) Seven days from the date of order uploading on the portal are granted to remove all defects and upload a defect-free copy on the DMS Portal. This is treated as a final opportunity. The order explicitly states that failure to comply with any of these conditions will nullify the effect of the order and the appeal shall stand dismissed automatically.
The appeal bearing No. 249 of 2026 stands allowed and disposed of with these observations and directions.
