Adishakti Technology Pvt. Ltd vs Amazon Infosolution Pvt. Ltd
- CitationComp. App. (AT) (Ins.) No. 941 of 2021
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority's finding that no operational debt is due, where advance payments have been partly repaid and the balance is met by goods supplied and retained by the operational creditor, is upheld on the reasoning that the admitted supply of goods worth Rs. 4.19 lakhs, still retained by the operational creditor, adjusts against the advance and leaves no amount due for the purposes of Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

ORDER
(Through Virtual Mode)
24.11.2021: Heard Learned Counsel for the Appellant as well as
Learned Counsel for the Respondent.
2. This Appeal has been filed against the judgment dated 24.02.2020
passed by the Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal),
Kolkata Bench, Kolkata, by which the Application under Section 9 of the
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 ("I&B Code" for short) has been
rejected. The Appellant claiming to be the 'Operational Creditor' who had given
advance of Rs. 10 lakhs in two tranches had filed the Application. Demand
Notice under Section 8 was given on 09.01.2019 which was not replied and
subsequently, when petition was filed under Section 9, reply was filed on
30.07.2019. The Adjudicating Authority after considering the material on
record came to the conclusion that no amount is due since certain payments
were made and the amount of Rs. 4.19 lakhs which was for supplied goods
was retained by the 'Operational Creditor' and has been adjusted. 2
3. Learned Counsel for the Appellant submits that the Appellant had no
right and title over the goods worth Rs. 4.19 lakhs.
4. We have considered the submissions and perused the record.
5. The Respondent has not disputed that the advance amount of Rs.10
lakhs was received and certain amount was repaid. Admittedly, goods worth
Rs. 4.19 lakhs were supplied and kept in the warehouse of the Appellant. The
Adjudicating Authority has rightly come to the conclusion that the goods worth
Rs. 4.19 lakhs were supplied and still retained by the 'Operational Creditor',
hence, there are no dues. We do not find any infirmity in the said decision of
the Adjudicating Authority. No ground is made out to entertain the Appeal.
The Appeal is dismissed.
