NPCCL Granted 17-Day Appeal Defect Cure Extension

Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi

Order Date: 2nd November, 2026

Case Overview

This interlocutory application (IA No.7894/2026) was filed by National Projects Construction Corporation Ltd. (Appellant) against Ravi Shankar Devarakonda in his capacity as Liquidator (Respondent). The application sought extension of time for curing defects in an un-numbered Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) filed by the Appellant. The factual background shows that the Appellant initially e-filed the Memorandum of Appeal on 9th September, 2026. The NCLAT office scrutinized the appeal and intimated defects to the Appellant on 22nd September, 2026. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the appeal on 16th October, 2026, resulting in a 17-day delay from the defect notice date.

Final Outcome

After hearing the Appellant's counsel and reviewing the application and office report, the NCLAT Registrar found the reasons submitted by the Appellant sufficient to condone the 17-day delay in re-filing the Memorandum of Appeal. The tribunal ordered the case to be listed before the appropriate bench under the heading 'for admission (fresh case)'. The interlocutory application was disposed of with this order.
