"The failure of the NCLAT as the first appellate authority to look into a very vital aspect such as this, vitiates its order, especially when NCLT has recorded a specific finding of fact on this."

The operational creditor claimed that they had sold fabrics to the corporate debtor, which was irregular in making payments.
