Hira Lal & Sons vs Mr Anish Niranajan Nanavaty
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Ins.) No. 1603 of 2023
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
A miscellaneous application seeking relief in an appeal that has already been finally disposed of is not entertained by the Appellate Tribunal, since no further direction can be issued in a matter that has been concluded. Where a grievance arising from a concluded appellate order, such as non-payment of insolvency resolution process costs, is sought to be enforced, the appropriate course is to file a fresh application before the Adjudicating Authority, which is competent to consider the matter and pass appropriate orders.
