Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 10 August 2026
Case Overview
This is an order from the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in Company Appeal (AT) (Ins) No. 1186 of 2026. The appellants are Dinesh Rathi and Others, and the respondents are Vedamata Multiservices and Trading Pvt. Ltd. & Others. The order addresses a procedural request for an adjournment of the appeal hearing.
Counsel for the appellant, Mr. Rohit Gupta, requested an adjournment of the appeal beyond August 21, 2026. The basis for this request was that an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the company (Vedamata Multiservices) was scheduled to be held on that date. Counsel for Respondent No. 1, Mr. Dhruv Dewan, objected to this request, arguing that the scheduled EGM had no connection to the instant appeal.
The Tribunal, comprising Justice Mohammad Faiz Alam Khan (Member-Judicial) and Naresh Salecha (Member-Technical), did not comment on the issue of whether the EGM was connected to the appeal. However, it granted the appellant one final opportunity to argue the appeal at a later date, with a clear stipulation that no further time for this purpose would be granted in the future.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT adjourned the hearing and listed the appeal for the next hearing on August 24, 2026.
