Issues Involved:
1. Appeal against judgment of National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
2. Dispute over the amount claimed by the respondent and admitted by the appellant.
3. Validity of the confirmation of balance through email as evidence.

Summary:
The Supreme Court heard an appeal challenging the NCLAT judgment regarding an application under Section 9 of the IBC. The appellant disputed the amount claimed by the respondent, stating only a lesser sum was due. The NCLAT had remanded the matter based on the amount admitted by the appellant, which exceeded Rs. 1,00,000. The appellant contended that only the admitted amount was due and had been deposited with the NCLT. The Supreme Court held that the NCLAT's reasoning was not justified as it failed to determine if any amount beyond the admitted sum was due. The matter was remitted back to the NCLAT for further examination, considering the principles from the Mobilox case regarding pre-existing disputes. All contentions of the parties were left open for argument before the NCLAT. The appeal was disposed of with these directions.
