Therefore, the entries relating to the salary arrears and full final settlement of salary as on date seem to have been entered with mala fide intention to show that the amount paid is full and final settlement of the arrears of salary, which in no circumstances could be relied upon. The Corporate Debtor defaulted in making payment arrears of the salary to the Petitioner/ Operational Creditor. The Operational Creditor has complied with requirements under Sections 8, 9 (3) (b) (c) of I B Code, 2016 and has made out a case for admission of the Application under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
