..... ending execution of sale deed. The Resolution Process was initiated and thereby the Corporate Debtor did not execute the sale deed and hence, the applicant's claim is to be admitted by the RP as if he is a Financial Creditor. 7. Brief facts for the consideration of this Application in CA(IB) No. 629/KB/2018 is the following : (a) The Corporate Debtor approached the Applicant herein to sell one premises at 38 B, Pratapaditya Road, Kolkata which belong to the Corporate Debtor including the building constructed thereon for an aggregate consideration of ₹ 6,50,00,000/- (Rupees Six crores fifty lakh only) and a Memorandum of Understanding was also executed between the Applicant and the Corporate Debtor on 11-08-2017 regarding the principal terms and conditions for forming the sale of the said premises in favour of the Applicant. (b) The Management of the Corporate Debtor, however, failed to execute the sale deed in favour of the Applicant.

..... she submitted a Form C as if she is a Financial Creditor to the Corporate Debtor. Thereby the Form C submitted by the Applicant also again verified by the RP with the books of accounts of the Corporate Debtor and also given to the Statutory Auditor of the Corporate Debtor and on 15-03-2018 the fact was informed to the Applicant that the claim of the Applicant could not be accepted. The Certificate of Auditor is explanatory and hence the claim filed in Form C also rejected by the RP. Therefore, the RP requested to dismiss the Application as it deserves on merits. 9. In CA(IB) No.629/KB/2018, the RP filed an Affidavit that CoC approved the Memorandum of Understanding executed by the Corporate Debtor and that the property referred to in the Memorandum of Understanding may be sold to the Applicant itself and the advance amounts will be adjusted at the time of final payment. 10.

..... to note that she did not approach the RP in time. Truly, the RP can receive a claim till the approval of the Resolution Plan as per Regulation 12(2) of the CIRP Regulations. It is understood from the submission put forward by the RP that even the claim put forward by the Applicant in form F as well as in Form C were verified with books of accounts and submitted to the Statutory Auditor for verification and found that her claim not found a place in records of the Corporate Debtor. 14. On going through the contentions of the Applicant and upon hearing the argument advanced on the side of the Applicant I am not at all convinced that the claim put forward by the Applicant is a valid claim. The applicant Mrs. Ranita Mitra has failed to substantiate her claim before RP as well as before the Adjudicating Authority. Admittedly, she failed to send Form C electronically and also failed in substantiating her claim by submitting physically Form 'C' with any supporting documents. The statement of bank account produced on the side of the applicant not at all convincing me to show that the voucher relating to the loan allegedly advanced by the applicant towards the corporate debt .....
