Bansal Ship Breakers vs Great United Energy Pvt Ltd
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 58 of 2024
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Tribunal has no jurisdiction to review its own judgment, and an application for recall must satisfy the grounds of recall laid down by the five-member bench in Union Bank of India (Erstwhile Corporation Bank) v. Dinkar T. Venkatsubramanian, which are not made out where the application merely seeks review of a judgment passed after hearing the applicant.

ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
05.08.2024 : I.A. No. 2884 of 2024
1. This is an Application praying for recall of the Judgment of this Tribunal
dated 19.01.2024 passed in Comp. App. (AT) (Ins.) No. 58 of 2024. This
Application has been filed on behalf of the Appellant for recall of the
Judgment.
2. Mr. Akshay Jain CA appears for the Applicant and submits that in
Paragraph 6 of the Order it has been noted that statement was made by the
Liquidator that Appellant has written to the Liquidator that he is ready to
comply the Order and Liquidator has already sent the cheque for amount to
be refunded to the Appellant which has been encashed. It is submitted that
no such writing was made by the Appellant to the Liquidator that he is ready
to comply. He submits that in view of the aforesaid, the Order may be recalled.
3. The Order dated 19.01.2024 was passed after hearing CA Akshay Jain
who was appearing for the Applicant and Learned Counsel for the Liquidator. When the Order was passed, after hearing of the Appellant, we see no reason
to recall the Order, what Applicant is praying is to review the Judgment.
There is no jurisdiction vested in this Tribunal to review its Judgment and the
Order was passed after hearing the Applicant.
4. We see no reason to recall the Order. The grounds of recall are well
established in the Judgment of 5 Member Bench in the matter of `Union Bank
of India (Erstwhile Corporation Bank)' Vs. `Mr. Dinkar T.
Venkatsubramanian & Ors.' in I.A. No. 3961/2022 in Comp. App. (AT)
(Ins.) No. 729/2020. No such ground has been made out on which recall
Application is made out.
5. Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that in fact the Liquidator
has played a fraud on the Court. It was not a case of any kind of fraud and
the Applicant's submissions that it is a fraud wholly erroneous and
unfounded. Applicant who appeared when the matter was heard cannot be
heard in making allegations of fraud and furthermore the Order passed by
this Tribunal contained in Paragraph 5 and the submission of the Applicant
that he has never stated that he will comply the Order has no consequence,
every Party is bound to comply the Orders and the Applicant's submission
that he has not written that he will comply the order itself suggest that
Applicant is not an honest litigant.
With these observations, we dismiss the Application.
