Case Overview
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Kochi Bench heard three interconnected matters related to case TCP/67/KOB/2019, which is a petition filed under Sections 241-242 of the Companies Act, 2013. The main petition involves T O Abraham as petitioner versus St. Mary's Hotels Pvt Ltd and five other respondents. The specific matters heard were CA/45/KOB/2021, IA(C/ACT)/166/KOB/2022, and the main petition TCP/67/KOB/2019.
During the proceedings, Mr. Sudeep Abraham appeared virtually and informed the tribunal that he had received instructions to appear on behalf of the applicant on the same day. He undertook to file his Vakalathnama (formal power of attorney) within two working days. His presence was recorded based on this undertaking at the Bar.
For the respondents (numbered 1 to 6 across the various applications), representation was noted from Mr. Isaac Thomas appearing through virtual mode. In one of the applications (IA(C/ACT)/166/KOB/2022), Mr. John Vithayathil was also noted as appearing for respondents 1 to 6.
The Counsel for the Applicant requested adjournment in all three matters.
