The NCLAT set aside the impugned order dated 03.01.2025 passed by the NCLT on grounds of violation of natural justice and absence of reasons. The NCLT failed to record any prima facie satisfaction or provide analysis and findings before issuing directions, rendering the order unreasoned and thus unsustainable. Additionally, the Respondents were not afforded adequate opportunity to oppose the application, as no proper notice was issued and the limited time to file a reply was deemed a mere formality. The Tribunal emphasized that reasons are essential in judicial orders to ensure transparency and fairness. Given that the NCLT did not consider the maintainability objections raised and failed to comply with the procedural safeguards under Rule 37, the appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was quashed accordingly.
