<h1>Supreme Court Slams NHAI for 295-Day Delay in Insolvency Appeal, Stresses Need to Follow Procedural Timelines.</h1> The Supreme Court of India criticized government authorities, including the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), for excessive delays in filing appeals, highlighting a 295-day delay in a recent case. Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna emphasized the need for introspection to adhere to procedural timelines. The NHAI had challenged a National Company Law Appellate Tribunal order related to an insolvency case, where it was an operational creditor. The NHAI was dissatisfied with a resolution plan that allegedly ignored its interests. Despite assurances from the solicitor general to address the issue, the court dismissed the plea as time-barred.
