Authority: The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 10th July, 2026
Case Overview
This Interlocutory Application (IA No.4670/2026) arises from an un-numbered Company Appeal filed by Bank of Baroda against Arun Goel. The Appellant, Bank of Baroda, 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 was required to re-file the appeal within seven days of this intimation. However, the re-filing occurred on 7th July 2026, resulting in a 36-day delay from the defect intimation date. In the application, the Appellant stated that the delay was caused inadvertently due to the time required to remove the defects raised by the office and to arrange typed copies of the dim annexures. The Appellant contended that the delay was neither intentional nor deliberate.
Final Outcome
After hearing the learned counsel for the applicant and perusing the application and office report, the Registrar noted the 36-day delay in re-filing the Memorandum of Appeal. The final directive was to list the case before the Hon'ble Bench under the heading 'for admission with defect (fresh case)' for appropriate orders. The application for condonation of delay remains pending a decision by the bench.
