Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Chennai (Justice N. Seshasayee - Member (Judicial) and Jatindranath Swain - Member (Technical))
Order Date: 19 August 2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) at Chennai heard Company Appeal (AT) (CH) (Ins) No. 473/2024 with IA No. 1300/2024. The appeal was filed by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner – II (Legal) of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) against Mr. Dileep K P, who is acting as the Resolution Professional, and another respondent. The matter specifically pertains to a claim filed by the EPFO in what appears to be corporate insolvency proceedings. During the hearing, the tribunal noted that it required the learned counsel representing the EPFO to categorize their case. This categorization is intended to enable the tribunal to group similar matters together for more convenient hearing and management of cases.
Final Outcome
The tribunal adjourned the hearing and directed the Registry to publish this case in the supplementary list for the next hearing date scheduled on 28 August 2026. No substantive decision on the merits of the EPFO's claim was made in this order, which served primarily as a procedural adjournment to allow for proper case categorization.
