https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=784135 Whether a recall/restoration application under Rule 11 of the NCLT Rules was maintainable against an order dismissing a company petition when the applicant was absent and had not complied with directions to file documents. The AT held that procedural defaults justify closing the opportunity to produce documents or proceeding ex parte, but the Tribunal should not dismiss the petition on merits in the party's absence; at most, it could dismiss for want of prosecution. Since the order was not a merits adjudication and was passed in the applicant's absence, recall under Rule 11 was maintainable and did not amount to impermissible review, and past non-compliance alone could not justify refusal. The impugned order rejecting restoration was quashed and the matter restored for merits adjudication. en-us Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:27:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=784135 Whether a recall/restoration application under Rule 11 of the NCLT Rules was maintainable against an order dismissing a company petition when the applicant was absent and had not complied with directions to file documents.
