Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 02.09.2026
Case Overview
This is an interim procedural order in an appeal filed by Navneet Gupta, an Insolvency Professional, against an order from the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI). The appeal is registered as Comp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 1612 of 2026. During the hearing, it was informed that Shri Sanjeev Mahajan, the original complainant against the appellant, had filed a caveat under Section 148A of the CPC. However, the Tribunal's registry had placed the appeal before the bench with a remark of 'No Caveat', indicating this filing was not reflected on its e-portal.
A separate Interlocutory Application (I.A. No. 6230 of 2026) was also mentioned, filed by Shri Deepak Khosla on behalf of one Haravtar Singh Arora, seeking his impleadment as a respondent in the appeal.
The Tribunal did not delve into the substantive allegations of the case but focused on these procedural irregularities. It directed its registry to submit a report by the next morning clarifying whether a caveat had been filed for this matter, its registration number, and why it was not reflecting on the portal.
Regarding the impleadment application, the bench noted that the parties had not yet been given an opportunity to file their objections and were granted time until the next day to do so.
Final Outcome
The appeal was adjourned and listed for hearing on 03.09.2026 as the second case. The final ruling on the substantive appeal and the pending impleadment application is pending and will be considered after the procedural issues are resolved.
