Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Chennai Bench
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 are Mr. Alok Anand (in two appeals) and Ms. Vishrutha Dhruva (in one appeal). The respondent in all appeals is Air Works UK Engineering Ltd along with three other parties. The appeals are connected to Company Petition No. 64 of 2025, which is pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). During the preparation of its final order, the NCLAT bench required clarification and held a hearing. The tribunal observed that the NCLT is proceeding with the final hearing of the connected company petition and that the order the NCLAT is about to pass in these appeals is likely to impact the outcome of that petition.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT directed the NCLT not to pronounce its final orders in Company Petition No. 64 of 2025, effectively putting the NCLT's final decision on hold until the NCLAT issues its ruling in these appeals. The bench comprised Justice N. Seshasayee (Member - Judicial) and Jatindranath Swain (Member - Technical).
