Live Law  

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal New Delhi bench of Justice Ashok Bhushan and Mr. Barun Mitra has held that when office of the Tribunal remains closed on the last day of filing an appeal under section 61 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, the appeal can be filed on the day when the Tribunal reopens as per Rule 3 of the NCLAT Rules. The NCLAT in Darwin Platform Infrastructure Ltd. held that “the extended period of 15 days as provided in Section 61 proviso of the Code is not the prescribed period for limitation and the benefit of Section 4 is attracted only when last date of the limitation falls on Holiday.” The Tribunal further observed that Rule 3 of the NCLAT Rules states that when the Appellate Tribunal on the last day of filing the appeal is closed, that day and any succeeding day on which the Tribunal remains closed shall be excluded from the computation of limitation period. The Tribunal after referring to the facts of its judgment in Raj Kumar Banerjee vs. Supriyo Kumar Chaudhuri observed that when 30 days period was expiring on 7th May and 8th May being holiday, the last date for filing the Appeal would be 9th May, 2022. The Tribunal concluded that for computing 30 days period for filing the Appeal under Section 61, if the office of the Tribunal is closed on the 30th day, the period shall extend upto the date on which the Tribunal re-opens.
