Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 29 September 2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) Principal Bench heard two connected appeals arising from the same impugned order. The first appeal, Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No. 1209 of 2026, was filed by Fly-Hi Marine Travels Pvt. Ltd. as the appellant against respondent Manishkumar Patel. The second appeal, Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No. 1339 of 2026, was filed by Gautam Daniel Chopra as the appellant against the same respondent, Manishkumar Patel. Both appellants were represented by the same legal counsel, Ms. Prachi Wazalwar and Mr. Shawn Fernandes, Advocates. The Tribunal noted that since both appeals challenge the same order, they should be heard together.
