2019 (8) TMI 784 - Tri - Insolvency and BankruptcyFunctions of Resolution Professional - supply of Natural Gas to Corporate Debtor - scope of 'aggrieved person' - HELD THAT:- In the present case, R1 i.e. ONGC, is at liberty to take action under law or as per the contractual terms in between them to protect the interest of that Institution especially when such action is not prohibited u/s 14 of IBC. In this backdrop, the Corporate Debtor cannot further inflict ONGC to incur loss by supplying Gas to it that has already been not paying for the gas supplied to it. When it is clear that supply of gas by Rl to the Corporate Debtor does not fall within the ambit of any of the provisions of Section 14 of the Code, this Bench has no right to interfere with the rights and interests of this Public Sector Undertaking or any other person because such jurisdiction has not been conferred upon this Authority to interfere with the affairs of Rl. As to Public Sector Undertaking, when a person is pitted against public institution, public interest will always prevail over the interest of a private person. In any event, it is only a discussion over the effect of an order against public institution. This concept will become an issue if order does not violate the rights of adverse party. This Bench has no jurisdiction to pass any orders in respect to the reliefs sought by the Applicant, henceforth this application is hereby dismissed in limine.
