Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 31.08.2026
Case Overview
The case involves contempt proceedings (Contempt Case (AT) No. 23 of 2025) arising from Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No. 36 of 2024. The applicant is Rajeev Dhingra, represented by Advocate Mr. Sandeep Vij. The respondent is Nirmal Trading Company, represented by Advocate Mr. Geetesh Meena with Mr. Kapil Kapoor appearing via video conference.
The Tribunal noted that despite previous orders and the issuance of bailable warrants against the appellant (director of Nirmal Trading Company), he failed to appear physically before the Tribunal. The appellant joined the proceedings through video conferencing and pleaded that his mother was ill and he was attending to her. The Tribunal rejected this explanation, stating that the appellant should have made alternative arrangements for his mother's care and should have complied with the court orders, which he has been avoiding for quite a long time.
Final Outcome
The Tribunal issued a final warning that if the appellant does not appear physically before the Tribunal on 01.09.2026 at 10:30 AM, the bench will be constrained to have him arrested and produced before the Tribunal. The case has been listed for next hearing on 01.09.2026.
