NCLAT upheld dismissal of Section 9 IBC application concerning outstanding payment dispute between parties. WhatsApp communications evidenced pre-existing dispute regarding Soya Bean price fluctuations, where Appellant acknowledged waiting for market improvement before goods receipt. Tribunal found legitimate pre-existing dispute based on documented conversations between parties regarding price negotiations. NCLAT determined IBC proceedings were inappropriately pursued for debt recovery rather than genuine insolvency resolution. Appeal dismissed as evidence clearly established existence of genuine commercial dispute, making IBC jurisdiction inapplicable. Case reinforces principle that IBC cannot be used as alternate recovery mechanism where bona fide commercial disputes exist.
