Treatment of a creditors claim as contingent liability versus classification as an unsecured creditor determined whether the Adjudicating Authority must admit a Section 9 petition; the Authority is obliged to decide existence of debt, default and any pre-existing dispute, and if debt and default are proved with no dispute, admit the petition. Contingent liabilities require crystallisation before becoming due, a process not shown by the respondent, undermining its contingent classification; binding effect of a BIFR-sanctioned rehabilitation scheme on unsecured creditors does not apply where the claim remained contingent. Appeal allowed and matter restored for fresh adjudication on debt, default and dispute.
