Authority: National Company Law Tribunal Allahabad Bench Prayagraj, Division Bench comprising Sh. Praveen Gupta (Member Judicial) and Sh. Ashish Verma (Member Technical)
Order Date: 09th October, 2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Allahabad Bench heard CP No.47/ALD/2026, a petition filed by Anand Prasad Gupta (Ken Investment and Finance Pvt. Ltd.) against the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Uttar Pradesh under Section 252(3) of the Companies Act, 2013. This section typically deals with applications for restoration of a company's name to the Register of Companies. The hearing was attended by counsel for all parties: Sh. Ankit Kumar Singh (PCS) for the Petitioner company, Sh. Pradeep Singh Sisodia (CGSC) for the ROC, U.P., and Sh. Amit Mahajan (Sr. SC) for the Income Tax Department.
The petitioner's counsel indicated that the ROC's report had been filed and that a rejoinder would be submitted shortly. The counsel for the Income Tax Department raised a procedural issue, stating that they had not received a copy of the petition via email attachment from the petitioner company, which prevented them from filing their report/reply.
Final Outcome
The tribunal issued directions for the procedural resolution of the case. The petitioner's counsel undertook to supply the copy of the petition within three days to the email ID shared in the chat box. The Income Tax Department was granted two weeks to file their report, with an advance copy to be supplied to the other side. The petitioner was given one week to file their rejoinder after supplying an advance copy to the other side. The matter was adjourned and listed for the next hearing on 19th November, 2026.
