Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 13th July, 2026
Case Overview
This interlocutory application (IA No.4661/2026) was filed by Bank of Baroda seeking an extension of time for curing defects in its appeal filing. The appellant had initially e-filed the Memorandum of Appeal on 22nd May 2026. The NCLAT office scrutinized the filing on 25th May 2026 and intimated the defects to the appellant on the same day. The appellant re-filed the appeal on 7th July 2026, which was 36 days beyond the required seven-day period for re-filing after defect intimation. The appellant stated through counsel that the delay was inadvertent and caused by the time required to remove the defects raised on 25th May 2026 and arrange typed copies of the dim annexures. The application claimed the delay was neither intentional nor deliberate.
Final Outcome
After hearing the applicant's counsel and reviewing the application and office report, the Registrar noted the 36-day delay in re-filing. The case was directed to be placed before the Hon'ble Bench with the defect for appropriate orders and listed under the heading 'for admission with defect (fresh case)'.
