K.Sekar vs M.Shreedevi
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (CH) No. 36/2023
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Tribunal's power to recall or review its own order is not conferred by the statute; a Tribunal constituted under the Companies Act, 2013 that has no express power of review cannot entertain an application seeking review of its own final order, and an application for recall framed as a review is liable to be dismissed on that ground.

[Per; Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain (JM)]
19/04/2023: This Appeal is directed against the Order dated
13.01.2023, by which, an Application filed by the Appellant for recall of the
Order dated 21.11.2019 passed in CA/1248/2019 has been dismissed, inter
alia on the ground that the Tribunal does not enjoy the Power of Review.
2. Although, Counsel for the Appellant has argued vehemently that the
Hon'ble Madras High Court in the Writ Petition filed by the Appellant
bearing WP No.14009/2020 decided on 22.04.2021 given liberty to the
Appellant to again approach the Tribunal with an Application for
Comp App (AT) (CH) No. 36/2023 Page 1 of 2 Recall/Review but since there is no Power of Review is provided in the
statute, therefore, the Application filed by the Appellant has rightly been
dismissed by the Tribunal.
3. No other point has been raised.
4. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the Appeal is found
to be without any merit and the same fails and is hereby dismissed. No costs.
