Authority: Supreme Court of India, Civil Appellate Jurisdiction

Order Date: 19 August 2026

Case Overview

  • Appeal No.4345/2025 filed by K.V. Bharath against Dreamz Infra, India Pvt. Ltd. and others.
  • The dispute originated in the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC), where the appellant sought to implead the promoter‑cum‑Managing Director, Disha Choudhary, as an opposite party.
  • NCDRC rejected the impleadment application without issuing notice or examining alleged improper conduct by the promoter; respondents did not appear despite notice.
  • The appellant relied on SC precedent (Tejas J. Shah & Amisha T. Shah v. Mantri Technology Constellations Pvt. Ltd., Civil Appeals Nos.4289‑4290/2025 dated 27‑07‑2026) asserting that a promoter’s liability is independent of any moratorium on the company.

Final Outcome

  • The Supreme Court set aside the NCDRC order, holding that the impleadment application should have been allowed and the issues concerning the promoter’s liability must be heard.
  • Disha Choudhary is hereby impleaded as an opposite party in the pending NCDRC proceedings.
  • All issues on merits are left open; any pending applications are disposed of per the signed order.
