Kumaresh Babu, J. allowed the applications, and the 75% pre-deposit was dispensed with the requirement for payment of deposit contemplated under the Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Swiss Granier contended that the statutory Tribunal under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act, 2006<\/a> does not have jurisdiction to decide the dispute between the parties. The purchase orders which were placed upon the respondent are related to the year 2016-17 and at that relevant point of time, the respondent was not a supplier registered under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act, 2006<\/a>. The respondent had only registered himself as a supplier under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act, 2006<\/a> in the year 2018. Therefore, the reference to the statutory authority as per the Act would itself be bad in law, as the statutory authority does not have jurisdiction to deal with any dispute that had arisen prior to the registration as supplier under the Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court prima facie satisfied with the claim made by Swiss Garnier that the statutory authority under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act, 2006<\/a> would only have the jurisdiction to entertain a dispute when the supplier had been registered under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act, 2006<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus. the Court allowed the applications, and the 75% pre-deposit was dispensed with the requirement for payment of deposit contemplated under S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act, 2006<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Swiss Garniers Genexiaa Sciences Pvt.
