Moreover, since the authorised representative of the Corporate Debtor in the matter that was filed before the Adjudicating Authority has chosen not to file any appeal against the Impugned Order it was necessary for the Appellant to establish her locus standi for filing this appeal. The Appellant is unable to establish how she is aggrieved by the Impugned Order, and, therefore, her locus standi in filing this appeal.

The Learned Counsel for Appellant has pointed out that the Adjudicating Authority has not considered these disputes as pre-existing disputes while adjudicating the application of the Operational Creditor in the Impugned Order. 9. The Learned Counsel for Respondent No.1 has stated that though the Appellant has claimed to be a shareholder in the Corporate Debtor Company, she has not provided any evidence of the same.

In the light of the above discussion, at the threshold, we find that the Appellant is unable to establish how she is aggrieved by the Impugned Order, and, therefore, her locus standi in filing this appeal. The appeal is thus not maintainable as it doesn t satisfy the criterion for preferring an appeal, as set out in Section 61(1) of the IBC. All the other issues raised by the Appellant become infructuous and it is not necessary to consider them. 16. We, therefore, find no reason to interfere with the Impug .....
