NCLAT held that if an application is filed by a person under Section 7 of the ‘I&B Code’ and in case the Adjudicating Authority comes to the conclusion that the Applicant is not a ‘Financial Creditor’ in such case the Adjudicating Authority has jurisdiction to reject the application under Section 7 of the ‘I&B Code’, but the said Authority cannot treat the format of the application under Section 7 of the ‘I&B Code’ (Form-1) as an application under Section 9 of the ‘I&B Code’ (Form-5), nor can treat such person an ‘Operational creditor’, in absence of any claim made under Section 9 of the ‘I&B Code’. Further, as the informations required to be given in Form-1 varies from the informations as required to be given in Form-5 (As per Section 9), including instructions made below the requisite form(s), no application filed under Section 7 can be treated as an application under Section 9 of the ‘I&B Code.
