..... tal claimed amount by the Operational Creditor in the petition of ₹ 12,79,433/-. 13. It would be seen that after the Operational Creditor company had gone into liquidation, its Liquidator continued pursuing this C.P. against M/s. Nishan Systems Private Limited as Liquidator of M/s. Global Infonet Distribution Private Limited, the Operational Creditor herein. Before continuing and pursuing the present petition, the Liquidator has not sought any permission or directions from this Adjudicating Authority. Section 35 of the Code envisages that the Liquidator shall have all the powers and duties subject to the directions of the Adjudicating Authority. We do not find any application seeking the directions from this Adjudicating Authority in this respect or any order having been passed by this Adjudicating Authority permitting him to continue these proceedings. It would also be seen that the last audited accounts of the Corporate Debtor in C.P.(IB) No. 712/ND/2019 passed on 21st August, 2020 i.e. Operational Creditor in this petition was audited only for the year ending 31st March, 2017 and thereafter no returns were filed and that the accounts of the Operational Creditor were not .....

The Corporate Debtor has filed the affidavit to this effect. 19. In view of the fact that the payment as per the invoice has already been made and there is no liability outstanding, the petition does not deserve any consideration particularly because the Corporate Debtor has raised certain disputes in the reply affidavit which may be taken as per pre existing disputes. The Operational Creditor (Liquidator) of M/s. Global Infonet Distribution Pvt. Ltd. cannot claim anything more than the amount mentioned in the petition filed by its erstwhile Board of Directors. 20. In view of the aforesaid facts and pleadings of the parties, We, therefore, do not find any merit in the petition and the same is rejected. 21. Certified co .....
