The NCLAT held that s.9 proceedings are summary and, under s.9(5)(ii)(d), the AA must reject an application where an "existence of dispute" is evidenced, including from the Information Utility record produced by the operational creditor itself; the AA's failure to consider the recorded dispute vitiated admission, and the admission order was set aside and the s.9 application rejected.
