Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 4th August, 2026
Case Overview
This Interlocutory Application (No.5404/2026) was filed by Lunsons Herbal Pvt. Ltd. (Appellant) against the Registrar of Companies, NCT of Delhi & Haryana (Respondent). The application sought an extension of time for curing defects in the filing of a Memorandum of Appeal. The Appellant had initially e-filed the Memorandum of Appeal on 8th January, 2026. The NCLAT office scrutinized the appeal on 15th January, 2026 and intimated the defects to the Appellant on the same day. The Appellant subsequently refiled the appeal on 27th July, 2026, which was 186 days beyond the required 7-day period for refiling after defect intimation. The Appellant cited two reasons for the delay: time consumed in gathering and verifying information, and personal family difficulties faced by their learned advocate.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT Registrar, after hearing the Appellant's counsel and reviewing the application and office report, noted the significant delay in refiling. The case was directed to be listed before the Hon'ble Bench under the heading 'for admission with defect (fresh case)' for appropriate orders regarding the condonation of delay and admission of the appeal.
