Kapil Subhash Anand vs Respondents
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Ins) No. 1926 of 2025
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority, having found defects in an application under Section 94 of the IBC, ought to have granted the applicant an opportunity to remove those defects before dismissing the application as non-maintainable; dismissal without such an opportunity is not an appropriate course where the defects are curable.

IN THE MATTER OF: Kapil Subhash Anand ...Appellants
Versus --- ...Respondents
Present: For Appellant : Ms. Eshna Kumar, Advocate. For Respondents : None.
ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
11.12.2025: This appeal have been filed against the order dated
28.10.2025 passed by the National Company Law Tribunal, Court-V, Mumbai
Bench by which application under Section 94 of the IBC filed by the appellant
- the personal guarantor has been rejected. The Adjudicating Authority while
rejecting the application made following observation:-
"The aforesaid fact noted hereinabove, render the petition patently defective and this defect has not been removed by the Petitioner right from the date it has been filed on 30.05.2024. Under such facts and circumstances, we are constrained to dismiss this Company Petition as non-maintainable."
Adjudicating Authority having come to the conclusion that three are certain
defects in the application, it ought to have granted opportunity to the
appellant to remove the defects.
We thus are of the view that ends of justice be served in granting two
weeks time to the appellant to remove the defects, the application CP (IB) No.
410(MB)/2024 is revived before the Adjudicating Authority for fresh
consideration in accordance with law.
With the above, appeal is disposed of.
However, we make it clear that we are not expressing any opinion on
any merits of the matter, it is for the Adjudicating Authority to consider and
decide in accordance with law.
