Non-prosecution in transfer proceedings led to dismissal after the petitioner failed to appear and comply with required details.

A petition concerning transfer of pending proceedings was dismissed for non-prosecution because the petitioner failed to appear when the matter was called, including after the lunch break, and did not furnish the details required under the Companies (Transfer of Pending Proceedings) Rules, 2016. The Tribunal noted that the petitioner had been directed to appear for further proceedings in accordance with law, but no representation was made in support of the petition. In the circumstances, the absence and non-compliance were treated as sufficient ground to decline further consideration, and the petition was dismissed.

Issues: Whether the petition was liable to be dismissed for non-prosecution due to the absence of the petitioner and failure to comply with the requirements for transfer of pending proceedings.

Analysis: The petitioner did not appear when the matter was called, including on the second call after lunch. The order records that the petitioner had been directed to appear before the Tribunal for further proceedings in accordance with law and was required to furnish the details necessary under the Companies (Transfer of Pending Proceedings) Rules, 2016. Since the proceeding was time-bound and no representation was made in support of the petition, the Tribunal treated the absence and non-compliance as sufficient cause to decline further consideration.

Conclusion: The petition was dismissed for non-prosecution.
