Bhagyanagar Boards & Chemicals Private ... vs Vijay Kumar Goyal
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (CH) No.128/2022
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Appellate Tribunal's reasoning, as stated in the text, is that a memorandum of settlement filed in the appeal may be acted upon to dispose of the appeal and modify the impugned order to the extent of the settlement terms, where the memorandum has been filed in consonance with Order XXIII Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which the Tribunal treats as principally applicable, and is supported by independent affidavits of the parties and verified by their respective counsel. The Tribunal further holds that disposal of the appeal on the basis of such a settlement automatically dilutes the effect of the earlier interim order dated 08.02.2023.

NATIONAL COMPANY LAW APPELLATE TRIBUNAL AT CHENNAI (APPELLATE JURISDICTION) IA No.57/2025 in Company Appeal (AT) (CH) No.128/2022 (IA Nos.1101/2022, 957/2023, 1000/2023 & 1420/2023) In the matter of: Bhagyanagar Boards & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. & 4 Ors. ... Appellants V Vijay Kumar Goyal & 2 Ors. ...Respondents
Present : For Appellants : Mr. Y. Suryanarayana, Advocate For Respondents : Mr. R. Parthasarathy, Senior Advocate For Mr. Subhang Nair, Ms. Madhupreetha Elango, Advocates for R1 to R3 ORDER
(Hybrid Mode) 10.01.2025:
The challenge in the instant Company Appeal is given to the Impugned
Order dated 19.10.2022, which has been passed by the Learned NCLT,
Hyderabad Bench, in CP No.26/2005 bearing TP No.06/HDB/2016. By virtue of
the impugned order, the proceedings which were held under Sections 111, 397,
398, 402, 403, 406 & Schedule XI of the Companies Act, 1956, stood allowed,
in terms of the observations which had been made in para 42 of the said impugned
order.
Today, the matter is listed for orders on Memorandum of Settlement
bearing IA No.57/2025, which has been duly signed by all the parties to the
Appeal i.e., the Appellants, as well as the Respondents, including their counsels,
IA No.57/2025 in Comp App (AT) (CH) No.128/2022 Page 1 of 2 who had made a statement at bar and had stated that the parties had settled their
dispute, outside the court.
It is made clear that, the aforesaid memo is not supported with the terms of
the settlement, alleged to have entered between the parties to appeal outside the
court, based on which the Appeal is being sought to be disposed of, but
exclusively owing to the fact, that, the memorandum has been filed in consonance
with the provisions contained in Order XXIII Rule 3 of CPC, which could be
principally made applicable and coupled with the fact that since the memo is
supported by the independent affidavits filed by the parties to the Appeal. The
Appeal would stand disposed of in terms of the settlement which has been arrived
at between the parties and accordingly, the impugned order dated 19.10.2022
would stand modified to the extent of the terms of the settlement, which has been
arrived at and signed by the parties to the proceedings and verified by the
respective counsels.
This will automatically result into diluting the effect of the Interim Order
dated 08.02.2023, owing to disposal of company appeal based on the terms of
settlement.
