This appeal arises from the order dated 10.06.2022 by which an application CA No. 809 of 2018 filed by the Appellant as Operational Creditor who had submitted a claim of Rs. 1,99,26,133/- with the RP was rejected, was dismissed by the Tribunal.

2.

However, in the reply filed by Respondent No. 2 (RP), following averments have been made which read as under:-
