Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 27th August, 2026
Case Overview
This Interlocutory Application (No.5967/2026) arises from an un-numbered Company Appeal filed by Brahmaputra Tele-productions Pvt. Ltd. & Others against Brahmaputra Iron & Steel Co. Pvt. Ltd. & Others. The appellants e-filed the Memorandum of Appeal on 27th May, 2026. The NCLAT Registry scrutinized the appeal and intimated defects to the appellants on 2nd June, 2026. The appellants refiled the appeal on 17th August, 2026, with a delay of 69 days beyond the required 7-day refiling period.
The appellants cited multiple reasons for the delay: numerous defects requiring correction, specific clarifications needed by the Registry regarding the connection between the appeal and proceedings arising out of IA (IBC)/143/GB/2025 and the impugned order, and additional defects identified upon refiling related to document quality (proper typed copies of annexures, legible scanned documents, pagination, annexure marking, indexing, and bookmarking). Logistical challenges were also noted as the relevant records and supporting papers needed to be arranged and transmitted from Guwahati, Assam, where the appellants and source documents are located.
Final Outcome
The Registrar noted that the appellants refiled the Memorandum of Appeal with a 69-day delay and directed that the case be placed before the Hon'ble Bench for appropriate orders. The case was listed under the heading 'for admission with defect (fresh case)' for further consideration by the bench.
