2022 (4) TMI 1256 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyMaintainability of application - initiation of CIRP - Corporate Debtor failed to make repayment of its dies - Operational Creditors - existence of debt and dispute or not - HELD THAT - The observations and conclusion which has been drawn by the Adjudicating Authority are based on the sequence of the events and facts of the case. The Adjudicating Authority has returned the finding that there was not a single correspondence between the Operational Creditor and the Corporate Debtor qua raising and demanding of bill amount or supply of material. No order of supply of material and demand for payment prior to filing of the Application are the reasons which have been relied and the Adjudicating Authority has come to the conclusion that the bill raised is forged and fabricated and has been raised only for initiation of CIRP of the Corporate Debtor who is the builder - it is also noticed that bill as relied by the Appellant does not contain any GST number which reaffirms the view that bill was a bogus bill prepared only for filing the Section 9 Application. The submission of the Counsel for the Appellant is agreed upon that the quantum of the amount may not be relevant for taking a decision either to reject or admit the Application but on the sequence of the events and the facts which were before the Adjudicating Authority the Adjudicating Authority rightly came to the conclusion that there was active collusion between the parties to defraud the other creditors and to facilitate the Respondent to enjoy the rigors of the I B Code. There are no reason to take a different view from one which have been taken by the Adjudicating Authority - appeal dismissed.
