JONES LANG LASALLE PROPERTY CONSULTANTS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED SUBHRADIP ROY vs M A LEASING AND CONSTRUCTION PVT, LTD AND ORS — CS-COM/171/2025

Case Summary: CS-COM/171/2025 Outcome: Plaint Admitted Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants (India) Private Limited sued M/s MA Leasing and Construction Pvt Ltd for unpaid service fees. After the defendant failed to pay, the plaintiff filed an insolvency petition under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 before the NCLT, which was dismissed on September 10, 2023 due to a pre-existing dispute. The plaintiff subsequently filed this civil suit for debt recovery on December 15, 2025. The High Court admitted the plaint, holding that the time spent pursuing the NCLT proceeding (July 2020 to September 2023) qualifies for exclusion under Section 14(1) of the Limitation Act, 1963, as the NCLT lacked jurisdiction to entertain the application due to the pre-existing dispute—a "cause of like nature" with jurisdictional defects.
