Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 6th August, 2026
Case Overview
This interlocutory application (IA No.5506/2026) arises from Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No.406 of 2022 between Ram Kishor Arora (Appellant) and Union Bank of India & Anr. (Respondents). The Shoprix Shop Owners Welfare Association filed an application seeking extension of time for curing defects in their previously filed interlocutory application.
The application states that the Applicant e-filed the Interlocutory Application on 27.04.2026. The NCLAT office scrutinized the application on 28.04.2026 and intimated defects to the Applicant on the same day. The Applicant attempted to re-file the IA on 05.08.2026 but encountered technical issues where counsel inadvertently uploaded an earlier/incorrect electronic file instead of the final corrected set. The delay of 99 days in refiling is attributed to counsel's travel to Kapurthala, Punjab for marriage ceremonies and family obligations, during which the uploading error occurred and was subsequently discovered and corrected.
The Registrar's office report indicates that while the Applicant claims a 99-day delay, the actual refiling delay was 92 days from the date of intimation of defects. The Applicant was required to re-file the IA within seven days from the date of defect intimation (28.04.2026) but filed on 05.08.2026, resulting in a 92-day delay.
Final Outcome
The matter has been placed before the Hon'ble Bench for appropriate orders regarding the condonation of delay. The final ruling on whether to condone the 92-day refiling delay remains pending before the bench.
