It was further agreed that the entire loan would be repaid on or before 28.06.2015. A copy of the Loan Agreement dated 19.08.2014 is produced herewith as Annexure 'R19'.

The appellant has disputed the aforesaid stand taken by the respondents and brought to the notice of this Appellate Tribunal the following facts: - "4.

Therefore the Respondent No. 3 Company has repaid an amount of ₹ 54,777,625 (Rupees Five Crores Fourthy Seven Lakhs Seventy Seven Thousand Six Hundred Twenty Five) to Ajay Samat; Manisha Samat and Ajay Gopaldas Samat (HUF). It is reiterated that the aforesaid repayment took place over a period of 2013-2015 simultaneously for the eight Loan Agreements entered into between the parties. As there were multiple Agreements entered into by different entities, the repayment was being done on account as per verbal instructions issued by Ajay Samat from time to time." 8. Copies of the agreements and details of payments have been enclosed with the affidavit. 9. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in "Innoventive Industries Ltd. v.

The dates on which payment of more than Rupees Five crore has been made in favour of one or other respondent from time to time is not in dispute. What is in dispute is the debt as claimed, which is not clear as to whether such amount is payable pursuant to such agreement. Thus, there being a dispute about the claim arising out of a particular agreement, and as the respondents have not made it clear that as to against which agreement Rupees Five Crore has been adjusted, we are of the view that it was not a fit case for initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process under section 7, and parties should have been allowed to move .....
