Gulshan Kumar Sachdev vs Mr. Ashish Singh (Rp Of M/S Piyush ...

IN THE MATTER OF: Gulshan Kr Sachdev ...Appellant(s)

Versus Ashish Singh ...Respondent(s)

Present: For Appellant : None.

For Respondent : Mr. Abhishek Anand, Mr. Karan Kohli and Ms. Palak Kalra, Advocates. ORDER

(Hybrid Mode)

17.10.2025 Heard Ld. Counsel for the Appellant Mr. Abhishek Anand.

By this appeal, the Appellant is challenging the order dated 27.08.2025

passed in I.A. No. 875 of 2025 by which the Appellant is praying for

restoration of I.A. No. 475 of 2025. Although the Adjudicating Authority has

allowed the prayer but imposed cost of Rs. 25,000. The Appellant is

aggrieved by the part of the order by which cost has been imposed.

We have heard Ld. Counsel appearing for the Appellant as well as Ld.

Counsel appearing for the Respondent.

The impugned order imposes cost is as follows:

"Having regard to the facts and circumstances mentioned in the application and to meet the ends of justice, we deem it appropriate to restore IA-475/2025, subject to payment of the cost of Rs. 25,000/ to be deposited in Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) within one week, failing which appropriate order will be passed."

The order does not indicate the reasons given by the Adjudicating

Authority for imposing the cost of Rs. 25,000. We, thus, are of the view that

the cost impose cannot be sustained and cannot be approved. Appeal is

partly allowed.

The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
