Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: July 13, 2026
Case Overview
This is an appeal (Comp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 1199 of 2026) filed by Jiostar India Pvt. Ltd. (Appellant) against Absolute Legends Sports Pvt. Ltd. (Respondent). The appeal challenges an order passed by a lower tribunal (referred to as the 'Learned Tribunal'). The core of the Appellant's argument, presented by Senior Advocate Mr. Kunal Tandon and his legal team, is that the lower tribunal failed to properly consider a specific agreement. The Appellant contends that this agreement was duly signed by Mr. Ankush Mahajan on behalf of Jiostar India Pvt. Ltd., a fact they believe was not perceived in the right perspective by the tribunal, forming the flawed basis of the impugned order. The Respondent was not represented at this hearing.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT bench, comprising Justice Mohammad Faiz Alam Khan (Member-Judicial) and Mr. Naresh Salecha (Member-Technical), admitted the appeal for hearing. The tribunal issued a formal notice to the sole Respondent, Absolute Legends Sports Pvt. Ltd. The Appellant was directed to complete all necessary steps for serving this notice, including using speed post, email, and hand delivery, within five days. The Appellant is also mandated to file an affidavit confirming this service before the next date of hearing. The case has been listed for further proceedings on July 31, 2026.
