Mrs. Neeta Saha vs Shiv Nandan Sharma
- CitationCompany Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 952 of 2021
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The appeal against an interlocutory direction of the Adjudicating Authority is not entertained where the impugned order remains open to modification or clarification on a fresh application before that Authority, and the proceedings are still pending before it; the appellate forum declines to interfere at that stage and dismisses the appeal, leaving the appellant to seek relief before the Adjudicating Authority.

23.11.2021: Heard Learned Counsel for the Appellant as well as Learned
Counsel for the Resolution Professional. This Appeal has been filed against order
dated 2nd November, 2021 passed in New I.A. 5004/2021 by the Adjudicating
Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), New Delhi, Court-II. The
Adjudicating Authority by the said order has issued following directions:-
"Under such circumstance, we hereby direct the Applicant to provide the password of the email Id of the Corporate Debtor by tomorrow to the RP.
In the meantime, so far this Applicant is concerned, we hereby stay the execution of warrant of arrest till the next date of hearing. The Applicant is directed to extend all co-operation and support in handing over documents/information, vehicles etc. as requisitioned by the RP. List on 10th November, 2021."
Cont'd..../ 2
2. In so far as issuance of warrant of arrest of Applicant is concerned the
court has already stayed the process till the next date of hearing. Hence, no
grievance can be raised by the Appellant. The second submission of the Appellant
is regarding the direction to the Applicant to provide password of the email id of
the Corporate Debtor by tomorrow to the Resolution Professional. It is submitted
that the Applicant is not in knowledge of the password of the email id of the
Corporate Debtor. Learned Counsel for the Respondent refuted the submissions
made by Learned Counsel for the Appellant.
3. Be that as it may. The Application is still pending before the Adjudicating
Authority and it is open for the Applicant to approach the Adjudicating Authority
and submit appropriate application and ask for modification or clarification, if so
advised. In the above view, at this stage, we are not inclined to entertain this
Appeal. The appeal is dismissed.
