The Tribunal found a pre-existing dispute over the final bill dated 11.04.2022 and observed Clause 15 of the construction contract conditions payment on completion certification, rendering the final bill qualified. The respondent's admissions of discrepancies and a contested damages claim (Rs.25,000/day) create doubt as to the existence of an undisputed debt and corresponding default, both prerequisite for Sec. 9 relief. Alleged contractual claims and quantification of damages must be litigated in separate proceedings; no interference with the AA order. en-us Wed, 10 Sep 2025 08:39:55 +0530 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 08:39:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92366 NCLAT dismissed the appeal, upholding the AA's refusal to admit a Sec. 9 petition under the IBC to initiate CIRP.
