Challenge Against Court Records Without Filing Correction Application is Invalid: NCLAT

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has reiterated that a party cannot challenge the accuracy of court records without first filing a formal application for their correction. The tribunal held that the record of the proceedings, as documented by the court or tribunal, is presumed to be correct. If a party believes there has been an error or an omission in the way the proceedings have been recorded, their first course of action must be to file an application before the same court to have the record rectified. A party cannot simply raise objections to the court record at a later stage or in an appeal. This ruling upholds the sanctity and integrity of the judicial record and ensures that any disputes regarding its contents are addressed through a proper and established legal procedure.
