2022 (9) TMI 746 - Tri - Insolvency and BankruptcyMaintainability of application - initiation of CIRP - Corporate Debtor failed to make repayment of its dues - Operational Creditors - existence of debt and dispute or not - HELD THAT:- Upon perusal of the records, specifically the letter dated 29th September 2019 and its reply dated 2nd August 2019, it is clear that there were preexisting disputes in the instant matter. Further, annexure R-3 to the reply affidavit, being the master data of the Proxichem LLP i.e the company which manufactures ‘Miteshot’ reveals that the representatives of the Operational Creditor, being Mr. Kailash Dhaundival and Mr. Ishan Dhaundival are the directors of Proxichem LLP. Even though the letter containing such disputes was issued after the demand for the debt was made by the Operational Creditor vide email dated 3rd July 2019, it appears that the Corporate Debtor’s contentions regarding the relation between the Operational Creditor and Proxichem LLP is not baseless and need to be looked into further. However, the same can only be adjudicated in an evidentiary proceeding and not by a summary proceeding under the Code. The pre-existing disputes in the instant case are not mere feeble arguments and need to be adjudicated upon by a court of competent jurisdiction. As such, in presence of pre-existing disputes, the instant petition is not maintainable. This Adjudicating Authority is satisfied that the instant petition is liable to be rejected.
