Issues: Whether the appeal should be disposed with directions to the National Company Law Tribunal to proceed with and decide Company Petition No. 47 of 2016 on merits within a specified time and whether the Tribunal should be directed not to be influenced by observations of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal; and how interim applications for amendment should be treated.
Analysis: The Court recorded that parties attempted but failed to arrive at an amicable settlement. Having regard to the nature of the dispute and the relations between the parties, the Court directed that the appeal be disposed by remitting the matter to the NCLT to hear and decide Company Petition No. 47 of 2016 on its own merits within three months. The Court expressly clarified that the NCLT must decide the petition without being influenced by any observations made by the NCLAT in the impugned order. The Court also noted that any interim applications seeking amendment, if filed, are to be considered and decided by the NCLT in accordance with law.
Conclusion: The appeal is disposed by directing the NCLT to proceed with and decide Company Petition No. 47 of 2016 on merits within three months from the date of the order; the NCLT shall not be influenced by observations of the NCLAT; and any interim applications for amendment shall be decided by the NCLT in accordance with law.
