Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The Adjudicating Authority rightly dismissed the Company Petition filed u/s 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) on the ground of pre-existing disputes between the Operational Creditor and the Corporate Debtor. The Respondent provided documentary evidence, including communications and police complaints, demonstrating ongoing disputes related to possession of leased premises and payment obligations under the lease agreement. The existence of a pre-existing dispute, regardless of merit, disqualifies an Operational Creditor from initiating the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) u/s 9 of the IBC. The Appellant failed to demonstrate that the Adjudicating Authority erred in dismissing the Section 9 Petition. The Appeal was dismissed, with the Appellate Tribunal noting that the claim may also fail on grounds of not meeting the threshold of Rs. 1 crore u/s 4 of the IBC, discrepancies in claimed amounts, and allegations of fabrication of invoices.
