Indiglobal Tradelinks Private Limited vs Amtek Transportation Systems Limited

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal27 January 2025Ashok Bhushan

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The application for condonation of delay is granted because the appellant showed sufficient cause: the impugned order was uploaded on 18.09.2024 and the certified copy was received on 03.10.2024, so the period of delay was attributable to the time taken to obtain the certified copy. An application under Section 60(5) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for recovery of a claimed debt is rightly dismissed where the applicant has not placed on record the purchase orders, evidence that the invoices were received and acknowledged by the respondent, or the books of account on which the claim rests, so that no case for recovery is made out on the material before the Adjudicating Authority. A dismissal of such an application does not bar the Resolution Professional from pursuing recovery of the amount through such other proceedings as are available in law.

Transportation Systems Ltd. of Rs.85,36,142/- which was required to be

recovered for which Application under Section 60(5) has been filed by the

Appellant before the Adjudicating Authority, which has been rejected.

4. The Adjudicating Authority in the Impugned Order made following

observations while rejecting the Application:

"However the Applicant has not placed on record the purchase orders.

Further, there is nothing on record to show that the invoices have been received and acknowledged by the Respondent.

Further, the Applicant has also not placed on record a copy of the books of account on the basis of which the Applicant is claiming for the recovery of the amount in question.

Comp. App. (AT) (Ins.) No. 7 of 2025 & I.A. No. 20 of 2025 2 of 3 Accordingly, we do not find any merit in the application and thus the application is dismissed. The Respondents were set ex-parte on 19.07.2024. IA-2653/2021 dismissed."

5. We are of the view that no error has been committed by the Adjudicating

Authority in rejecting the Application. We, however, also are of the view that

for recovering any amount from Debtors, the RP is at liberty to take such

proceedings for recovery as available in law.

Hence, with aforesaid liberty, we dismiss the Appeal.
