The sale of goods vide above bills had been made in the name of M/s. Emgreen Impex Pvt. Ltd. at address Plot No. 67, DSIDD, Pockets--D, Sector-3, Bawana Delhi-110039.

Prima facie the contentions made by the Operational Creditor in the rejoinder appear to be correct as he has provided adequate documentary evidence to prove his allegations. In the above circumstances this Tribunal rejects the contentions made by the Respondent/Corporate Debtor in its reply and is convinced that the Petitioner has adequately proved the existence of debt and default on the part of the Corporate Debtor and initiates CIRP on the Respondent. 7.
