The Appellate Tribunal examined the denial of natural justice to the Appellant by the Adjudicating Authority, the invocation of the Deed of Guarantee circumscribed by the Put Option Agreement, and the Appellant's entitlement to object to the Assignment Agreement between the original lender and the Respondent. The Tribunal held that the Adjudicating Authority did not commit any error in reserving the matter for orders due to the stringent timelines under the IBC. The Deed of Guarantee is an independent contract, and the Appellant was obligated to honor it upon the Corporate Debtor's failure to repay the debt. The Assignment Agreement validly substituted the Respondent in place of the original lender, and the Appellant had no locus to challenge it. The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in admitting the Section 95 application against the Appellant.
