NCLT vs NCLAT


Government bodies like National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) are quasi-judicial bodies to regulate and resolve the issues related to civil corporate disputes.
Under the Indian Constitution article 245, powers were given to the Government of India to establish the said tribunals. Both the aforementioned bodies are subject to rules and regulations as formed and notified by the Government of India.
In case any of the parties involved in the judgement are not satisfied to what has been pronounced by the NCLT can approach the NCLAT within 45 days from the date of the judgement. Furthermore, any of the parties can still challenge the verdict within 60 days from the date of the verdict in Supreme Court.
Representatives of any of the Parties:
  • Chartered Accountant
  • Company Secretary
  • Legal Practitioners
  • Cost Accountant
  • An officer of the company

In the following certain cases where the NCLT delivers a judgement:
Class Action: Section 245 of the Companies Act, 2013 empowers the shareholders or depositors who are being wronged to file a class action against the public or private limited companies other than baking companies for cheating and drain dry their investments and savings.
Refusal to transfer shares: In case a company refuses to register a transfer or includes self in any malpractices which leads to dissatisfaction of the transferor or transferee they are entitle to file an appeal after a period of 2 months in the NCLT.
Tribunal convened General Meeting: Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) are to be held to gain certain permission from shareholders or a class of shareholders and to give a general outline of the company. The tribunal can u/s 97 & 98 of the Companies Act 2013, can convene AGM or EGM.
The NCLAT comes into the picture when an aggrieved party is not satisfied with the orders that of NCLT.
