Coming to the second portion of the claim where some rental dues were claimed, the statement of account produced by the Corporate Debtor (Page No. 55 of the reply) reveals that there is no outstanding payable by the Corporate Debtor. When we go through the ledger account of the Corporate Debtor in the books of the Petitioner, it shows a balance of ₹ 3,26,389/- as receivable from the Corporate Debtor but the Invoice No. SP2/1900009 dated 03.04.2018 for ₹ 1,98,949/-, as claimed in the petition is not even reflecting in the statement of account, hence, the claim under this invoice cannot be accepted. As far as the other invoice no SP2/1900165 dated 16.04.2018 for ₹ 1,27,440/- is reflecting in the statement of account produced by the Petitioner (Page No. 50 of the Petition) but the same is not reflected in the statement of account of the Corporate Debtor (Page No. 55 of reply). In view of this, this claim also fails. It is established that there is a clear dispute relating to the quality of goods as provided u/s 5(6)(b) of the Code - Petition dismissed. - CP (IB) 3142/MB/2019 - - - Dated:- 2-7-2020 - Suchitra Kanuparthi, Member (J) And V.

..... then and there and hence the issue regarding the quality of equipment does not arise at all. In view of this the Corporate Debtor cannot take shield of the quality of equipment to deny the liability. It is further submitted that the Corporate Debtor used the machinery exhaustively and abused the machinery to the core and despite the rough handling of the machine they have performed up to the expectation of the Corporate Debtor. The Petitioner also denied that there were frequent breakdowns and an employee has lost his leg due to machine. In one instance, the Cunningham Lindsey International Insurance Surveyors and Loss Assessors Pvt. Ltd., an insurance agent of the Corporate Debtor has mentioned in the claim request of the Corporate Debtor that an accident happened due to overturn from the lifting ladder.
