Case Overview
This interlocutory application (IA No.4145/2026) was filed by Jaypee Sports City Welfare Society seeking an extension of time for curing defects in its memorandum of appeal. The appeal is against Jaiprakash Associates Ltd., which is undergoing corporate insolvency resolution with Bhuvan Madan serving as the Resolution Professional. The appellant had initially e-filed the memorandum of appeal on 25th April, 2026. The NCLAT office scrutinized the filing on 30th April, 2026 and intimated the defects to the appellant on the same day. The appellant subsequently re-filed the appeal on 26th May, 2026, resulting in a 19-day delay from the defect intimation date.

After hearing the learned counsel for the appellant and reviewing the averments in the application and office report, the Registrar found sufficient reasons to condone the 19-day delay in re-filing the memorandum of appeal. The application was allowed, and the case was directed to be listed before the Hon'ble Bench under the heading 'for admission (fresh case)'. The interlocutory application stands disposed of with this order.
