Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Chennai (Appellate Jurisdiction)
Order Date: 05 October 2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) at Chennai was hearing three connected appeals: Company Appeal (AT) (CH) No.79/2026, No.83/2026, and No.84/2026. The appellants in these matters are Mr. Alok Anand (in two appeals) and Ms. Vishrutha Dhruva (in one appeal). The respondent in all three appeals is Air Works UK Engineering Ltd along with three other respondents. The appeals are connected to Company Petition No. 64 of 2025 pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
During the preparation of its final order, the NCLAT bench required clarification on certain matters. After hearing the clarifications, the Tribunal noted that the NCLT is proceeding with the final hearing in Company Petition No. 64 of 2025. The bench observed that the order they are preparing to pass in these appeals is likely to have a significant impact on the outcome of the company petition currently under final hearing before NCLT.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT directed the NCLT not to pronounce its final orders in Company Petition No. 64 of 2025 until the appellate tribunal's decision in these connected appeals is finalized. This interim direction ensures that the NCLT's final decision will consider the outcome and implications of the pending NCLAT appeals.
