As Operational Creditor acting on the referral instructions of Corporate Debtor and issuing the air tickets on the basis of customers details provided by Corporate Debtor, there is a relationship of Operational Creditor and Corporate Debtor – Akbar Travels of India Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Ritco Travels & Tours Pvt. Ltd. – NCLAT New Delhi
The facts of the case clearly bring out that the Appellant was acting on the referral instructions of the Respondent and was issuing the air tickets on the basis of the credit card the customers details provided by the Respondent. The Respondent had also given the undertaking that if any debit note comes against those tickets, then they will be responsible. The plea of the Respondent that they are not having any debt and the Appellant is not an Operational Creditor as they were not supplying any goods or services to the Respondent is not tenable. We can therefore conclude that there is a relationship of operational creditor and corporate debtor between the Appellant and Respondent.
