Issues:
The judgment involves the interpretation of an order passed by the Adjudicating Authority regarding two applications filed by related parties seeking refund of money paid in excess to the Corporate Debtor.

Interpretation of Order for Applications:
The Adjudicating Authority directed the applications to be listed before the Regular Bench due to pending avoidance applications against the related parties, holding that claims due to related parties would be settled after adjudication in the avoidance application.

Contentions of Appellant and Resolution Professional:
The Appellant argued that they are not promoters/key managerial personnel, so the earlier order regarding promoters is not applicable to them. On the other hand, the Resolution Professional contended that the Appellants are related parties to the Corporate Debtor, justifying the direction to list the applications before the Regular Bench.

Decision and Disposal of Appeals:
The Tribunal found no purpose in keeping the Appeals pending and directed the Adjudicating Authority to dispose of the applications in accordance with the law. The Tribunal clarified that it did not express any opinion on the merits or contentions of either party. The Appeals were disposed of accordingly.
