Authority: National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Guwahati Bench

Order Date: 7th July 2026

Case Overview

This is an order from a hearing concerning Interlocutory Application No. IA(IBC)/21/GB/2026, which is part of the main Company Petition CP(IB)/37/GB/2019. The petition was initiated by Bank of India under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, against corporate debtor Agnipa Energo Pvt. Ltd., and the company is now in the liquidation stage. The hearing was conducted by a bench comprising Hon'ble Member (Judicial) Shri Rammurti Kushawaha and Hon'ble Member (Technical) Shri Yogendra Kumar Singh. The purpose of the hearing was to address procedural matters related to the filing of replies by various respondents in the liquidation proceedings.

Final Outcome

The Tribunal issued several procedural directions. The right of Respondent Nos. 1, 2, and 3 (represented by Mr. R. Dubey) to file a reply was formally closed and forfeited, as they had missed the deadline set in a previous order. The remaining respondents were directed to serve copies of their already-filed replies upon the applicant's counsel. Respondent Nos. 4 to 7 (represented by Mr. A. Jain and Ms. P. Lunka) were granted two days to file an application for condonation of delay, as their replies were submitted but found to be under defect. The applicant's counsel (Mr. N. Goenka for Liquidator Ms. S. Sarma) was given liberty to file a rejoinder within ten days of receiving the replies. The matter was adjourned and listed for its next hearing on 5th August 2026 for further consideration.
