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’’.

Undoubtedly, the ‘Tribunal’’ has no power to perform an act which is prohibited by Law.- AT
