The case in brief

Visible before detection

    Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

    1

    Avoidance transactions

    A review of past payments would show the excess lease and contractor payments.

    Can mislead when: Only the tribunal decides what counts as an avoidance transaction. Kubr flags candidates and never states a conclusion.

    2

    Ownership / related-party links

    Mapping the lessors and contractors would show who benefited from the excess payments.

    Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.

    3

    Drawing power vs books

    Lender drawing power checked against the books would show the strain on borrowing.

    Can mislead when: CARO is annual, so the signal comes late. It covers only borrowers above the ₹5 crore limit.

    Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

    A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
