Limitation for challenging liquidator's claim rejection barred the application after a twenty-two-day delay and no condonation was sought.

An application challenging a liquidator's rejection of a claim was held time barred because it was filed beyond the fourteen-day period prescribed for challenging acceptance or rejection of a claim. The filing was stated to be delayed by twenty-two days, and no explanation for the delay or request for condonation was placed before the NCLT. On that basis, the Tribunal rejected the application.
