Authority: The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) Principal Bench, New Delhi
Order Date: 21st September, 2026
Case Overview
This Interlocutory Application (IA No.6774/2026) was filed by Walchandnagar Industries Ltd. (Applicant/Appellant) against Green Valley Industries Ltd. (Respondent). The application sought an extension of time for curing defects in the filing of an earlier interlocutory application. The appellant had e-filed the original IA on 18th May 2026. The NCLAT registry scrutinized the application and intimated defects to the appellant on 30th July 2026. The appellant re-filed the IA on 16th September 2026, citing that although defects were cured, the registry marked defects multiple times. The primary reason for the delay in re-filing was attributed to heavy rains in Pune, where the appellant's authorized signatory was located, which delayed the courier/transit of requisite hard copies of documents to their counsel's office in New Delhi.
Final Outcome
The Registrar noted that the appellant was required to re-file the IA within seven days from the date of intimation of defects (30th July 2026) but did so with a delay of 41 days. Upon hearing the appellant's counsel, who submitted that the main appeal (Company Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No.647/2026) is scheduled for hearing before Court No. I on 24th September 2026, the Registrar directed that this IA for condonation of delay in re-filing be placed before Court No. 1 on the same date, 24th September 2026, to be heard along with the main appeal.
