Corporate Debtor failed to repay operational dues, leading to a Section 9 application by the Operational Creditor. However, pre-existing disputes were evident from the Notice of Disputes, fulfilling Section 8(2)(1)(a) requirements. The defense raised cannot be deemed spurious or illusory. For such disputed operational debt, Section 9 proceedings cannot be initiated. The Adjudicating Authority erred in admitting the Section 9 application, disregarding the Notice of Disputes.
