Whether directors were liable to contribute under s.66 IBC for fraudulent/wrongful trading arising from transactions allegedly siphoning value from the corporate debtor. The tribunal held that while a transaction audit report is not conclusive, it is a valuable evidentiary material when founded on audited records, and here the appellants failed to show the impugned transactions were in the ordinary course or supported by commercial justification.
