G. That the demand notice issued on 06.04.2018 reflects the amounts of claim after which the payments were made by the Corporate Debtor which was acknowledged by the applicant hence, a fresh demand notice should have been issued for the balance amount of claim which has not been done.

Some of said so called objections are: (i) That copy of revised Form-2 submitted by applicant has not provided to the Corporate Debtor; (ii) The verification and affirmation are not strictly in conformity with the oath of affidavit; (iii) Authorization letter filed by the applicant is without any legal sanctity as the authorization does not specifically mentions about initiating proceeding under I&B, Code and speaks only about taking action for recovery of pending dues before appropriate forum which cannot be the present Tribunal but can only mean to give rise to civil cause and remedy before the Civil Court; (iv) The application is incorrect/incomplete fabricated and without any relevant supporting documents; (v) Notice raising dispute was given to the applicant and whatever due to the applicant was paid leaving no dues, hence nothing survives; further first time in sur rejoinder raising issue that some lab test was done with respect to quality of the goods without even single document of lab report or any other documentary evidence placed on record in support to said contention; (vi) Lastly, .....

It is important to separate the grain from the chaff and to reject a spurious defence which is mere bluster. However, in doing so, the Court does not need to be satisfied that the defence is likely to succeed.

Obviously, the goods in issue as supplied being consumed, they were not .....
