The Operational Creditor has further submitted that the defence raised by the Corporate Debtor in the reply to the notice is a moonshine. The Operational Creditor has filed a copy of the ledger account from 1st April, 2011 to October, 2017 which reflects various debits and credits entries and the last payment has been shown to have been received from the Corporate Debtor on 19th January, 2015 being ₹ 2,49,637.50 followed by entry dated 31st March, 2015 in respect of the credit note issued by the Operational Creditor to be ₹ 13,387.50. So, the date of default has been taken as 31st March, 2015 and the date of filing of the present petition is 23rd March, 2018, which is very much within the period of limitation. 7. The Operational Creditor has also filed a copy of the consolidated statement of invoices as on 31st October, 2017 which reflects the corresponding figure of ₹ 10,474/- being the amount of bill dated 6th December, 2014 for the goods ordered on 8th December, 2014. The Operational Creditor has also filed a copy of the letter dated 13th January, 2016 written to the Director of the Corporate Debtor which reads as under:- Sub: Outstanding and .....

The Operational Creditor filed rejoinder to the reply denying the allegations of the Corporate Debtor and stated that each and every allegation and contention and statements made in the reply are denied and disputed. It is stated that even in the reply to the demand notice there is no mention of any dispute as regards the claim of the Operational Creditor as alleged. It is denied that the claim of the Operational Creditor is barred by limitation. It is stated that though the last supply was made on 6th December, 2014 but the last payment was received on 19th January, 2015 and as such the claim is not at all barred by limitation by any stretch of imagination. 11.
