Application under S. 9 by an employee against employer company is admissible when there is non-payment of salary by the employer/corporate debtor. It was clear that there is an acknowledgement of liability, which therefore shows that there is no “dispute” as to amounts owed to the appellant. Held, NCLT was correct in admitting the S 9application by the appellant.
