Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 29th June, 2026
Case Overview
This interlocutory application (IA No.4147/2026) arises from an un-numbered Company Appeal filed by IIFL Home Finance Ltd. against Pashimna Realty Pvt. Ltd. The appellant e-filed the Memorandum of Appeal on 13th April 2026. The NCLAT office scrutinized the appeal on 17th April 2026 and intimated defects to the appellant on the same day. The appellant was required to re-file the corrected appeal within seven days but only re-filed on 1st June 2026, resulting in a 38-day delay from the defect intimation date.
The appellant's counsel cited two primary reasons for the delay: (1) office relocation during the first week of May 2026 causing significant disruption to regular work and correspondence, and (2) professional engagements requiring the filing of a writ and application before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, which necessitated travel from Delhi to Chandigarh and occupied considerable time and attention.
Final Outcome
The Registrar noted the 38-day delay in re-filing and directed that the case be listed before the Hon'ble Bench under the heading 'for admission with defect (fresh case)' for appropriate orders. The application seeks condonation of the 40-day delay in refiling the Memorandum of Appeal.
