Koladiya vs Grover case: Delhi HC grants more time to Ashneer Grover to file response

Both Grover and his wife Madhuri Jain who were ousted from the fintech startup last year were present at the court hearing on Thursday morning.

The defendants had filed condonation of delay applications, which was admitted by the court after no objection raised by the plaintiff’s counsel.

During the last hearing on January 18, the Delhi High Court restricted Grover from creating any third-party rights or interest on shares ‘transferred’ to him by Koladiya. Koladiya filed a suit to reclaim the disputed shares, saying Grover has not paid for the shares as per the agreement.

The case is being heard by a single-judge bench of Justice Prateek Jalan. The matter will be listed next on April 11 before the joint registrar and before the court on May 9.

ET exclusively reported on January 17 that Koladiya has filed a case against Grover, and was looking to reclaim his shares in the company.
