Once Pre-Existing Dispute With Regard To Operational Debt Is Established, Petition U/S 9 Of IBC Cannot Be Admitted: NCLAT

Live Law  

The NLCAT New Delhi bench of Justice Ashok Bhushan, Barun Mitra affirmed that in Section 9 proceeding, there is no need to enter into final adjudication with regard to existence of dispute between the parties regarding operational debt. Thereafter, the Operational Creditor filed the Section 9 application before the Adjudicating Authority which was allowed on 30.10.2023 and the Corporate Debtor admitted into the rigours of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. That the Adjudicating Authority while passing the impugned order glossed over the issue of pre-existing dispute raised in the Notice of Dispute and that the Corporate Debtor in their reply to the third Demand Notice had squarely denied that any amount was payable by them to the Operational Creditor and that instead they were to receive refund of certain amount from the Operational Creditor for payments made as advance towards the supply of paper. Section 8 provides that Corporate Debtor within a period of 10 days of the receipt of the Demand Notice is required to bring to the notice of the Operational Creditor existence of dispute, if any. The tribunal further perused the demand notices sent by the operational creditor to which reply was given by the corporate debtor demonstrating the existence of a pre-existing dispute.
