..... 15th June, 2018 clarified the transaction and nature of the agreement between the parties with regard to the dues and the above clauses in the agreement dated 15th June, 2018, show that the Appellant is Financial Creditor to whom the Respondent owes financial debt, and which is in default and the amount is more than ₹ 1 Lakh.
