Initiation of CIRP - The I&B Code, 2016 is not a ‘Debt Enforcement Procedure’. The application of an ‘operational creditor’ is not maintainable, if the ‘Corporate Debtor’ has a dispute about its outstanding/debt. The ‘dispute’ is to be seen by the ‘Adjudicating Authority’ as one based on tenable substantial grounds. In this connection, it is relevantly pointed out that if there is a ‘dispute’ about the debt, then, it is for the ‘applicant’ to approach the competent Civil Court to decide the triable issues. In short, the ‘Adjudicating Authority/Appellate Tribunal’ is not to be utilised as a ‘Debt Collecting Agent’. - AT
