Earlier, the 'Adjudicating Authority' / 'National Company Law Tribunal, Division Bench - II, Chennai', while passing the Impugned Order in IA/361/IB/2020 in C.P.(IB)/540(CHE)/2017, dated 12/05/2023 (filed by the 'Appellant'/ 'Petitioner' under Section 60(5) of the I&B Code, 2016) at Paragraphs Nos. 11-13 had observed the following: "11.

Prelude : At the outset, the Learned Counsel for the 'Appellant', fairly points out, before this 'Tribunal', that the 'Correct Number of Company Petition', is C.P.(IB)/540/(CHE)/2017, on the file of the 'Adjudicating Authority'/ 'National Company Law Tribunal, Division Bench - II, Chennai' and the C.P.(IB)/IB/889/(CHE)/2019, mentioned in the Impugned Order is not a Correct one for which the Learned Counsel for the Appellant had given a 'letter' to the 'Adjudicating Authority'/ 'Tribunal', dated 06/06/2023, to rectify the creeping in of error, which is an inadvertent one.

Be that as it may, in the light of foregoing discussions, this 'Tribunal' bearing in mind the attendant facts and circumstances of the instant case in a 'conspectus' and 'holistic' manner, comes to a consequent conclusion that the Impugned Order dated 12/05/2023 in IA/361/IB/2020 in CP(IB)540/CHE/2017, does not suffer from any 'material irregularity' or 'patent illegality', in the eye of 'Law'. Accordingly, the 'Appeal' 'sans' merits.
Result :
In fine, the instant Company Appeal (AT) (CH) (Ins) No. 251/2023 is dismissed. 'No Costs'. X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
