Power of tribunal to review application - It is the well laid down proposition of law that ‘in the absence of any power of ‘Review’ or ‘Recall’ vested with the ‘Adjudicating Authority’ – ‘Appellate Authority’, an order/ judgment passed by it cannot be either Reviewed or Recall as opined by this Tribunal - It cannot be gainsaid that there is no express provision for ‘’Review’’ under the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal Rules, 2016. Moreover, the Applicant/Appellant cannot fall back upon Rule 11 of the NCLAT Rules, 2016 which provides for “inherent powers’’. In fact, Rule 11 of NCLAT Rules, 2016 is not a substantive Rule which showers any power or jurisdiction upon the ‘’Tribunal’’. Undoubtedly, the ‘Tribunal’’ has no power to perform an act which is prohibited by Law.- AT
