The National Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”) has issued a Circular dated 04.08.2023, intimating that the petitions/applications filed through E-Filing prior to 30.06.2023 are pending in the system without any follow up. The NCLT has urged the concerned parties/advocates to take a follow up action and prosecute the same within a period of 21 days (till 25.08.2023). Failing which these pending files would be treated as ‘not pursued’ and get archived.
Brief background
On 01.03.2020, the NCLT had mandated E-filing of applications/petitions/additional documents. The Circular has been issued to grant an opportunity to parties, advocates, applicants and representatives to pursue their applications/petitions pending in the E-filing system, where no further action has been taken so far by them. Alongwith the Circular, the NCLT has also annexed a list of such matters where action is required.
However, a time period of only 21 days from the date of Circular has been given to the parties/advocates to take any follow up action on these pending matters. Otherwise, these matters would be treated as ‘not pursued’ and would be archived by the NCLT.
