Supreme Court set aside High Court and NCDRC orders, condoning 105‑day delay in filing First Appeal No. 591/2023 by SRA.
The consumer complaint filed on 04‑12‑2018 with Tamil Nadu SCDRC was barred by the IBC moratorium that began on 09‑08‑2018.
The SCDRC’s ex‑parte order dated 11‑10‑2022 directing refunds was deemed violative of the insolvency framework, prompting the appeal.
The Supreme Court ordered the appeal restored to NCDRC for merits consideration and disposed of any pending applications.
