Order Date: 06 July 2026

Case Overview

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Chennai heard multiple applications in the matter of The India Cements Ltd versus Call Express Constructions Pvt Ltd (Main Petition CP(IBC)/17(CHE)/2023). The primary application (IA(I.B.C)/1111(CHE)2026) was filed by The India Cements Ltd seeking to set aside and quash an email dated 18 February 2026 from the Successful Resolution Applicant (SRA) that rejected the applicant's request for substitution regarding an admitted claim of Rs. 3,53,30,185.52 pertaining to Flat No. A-3, 3rd Floor, Ushera, Chennai-600119. The applicant sought to substitute the name of Mr. Anil Harsh with its own name in the approved Resolution Plan and consequential records, seeking recognition as a secured Financial Creditor for implementation purposes.

Additionally, the tribunal heard seven other interim applications (IA numbers: 692, 646, 665, 642, 647, 648, and 650 of 2026). For applications IA(IBC)/646(CHE)/2026, IA(IBC)/647(CHE)/2026, and IA(IBC)/648(CHE)/2026, the Learned Senior Counsel stated that the issues had been resolved and payments made. The SRA's counsel confirmed that no payment was due specifically for IA(IBC)/648(CHE)/2026 but acknowledged resolution.

Three applications (IA(IBC)/646, 647, and 648/CHE/2026) were closed as no further cause of action survived due to resolution and payment.
