address mentioned in the title clause. Defendant is also a proprietary
concern having address at the address mentioned in the title clause.

defendant without any dispute. For which plaintiff issued invoices of
Rs.9,93,794/, which were duly accepted by defendant and agreed to
make payment within 45 days. In spite of agreed defendant has not
made payment of invoices. Therefore, plaintiff on several occasions
requested defendant to make playment.
4. Plaintiff submitted that, within stipulated time defendants was
also required to 'C' form for supply of goods. But defendant has faield
and neglected to supply 'C' form. Therefore, defendant is liable to pay
penality to the authorities concerned. After considerable time when
defendant did not make payment of invoices, plaintiff issued demand
notice dt.13.10.2017 called upon defemdant to pay the amount of
invoices. In spite service of notice defendant failed to complay the said

5. Writ of summons issued against defendant. Plaintiff filed service
affidavit at Exh.5. In spite of service defendant failed to appear before
the Court. Therefore, suit proceeded exparte against defendant.
6. To substantiate its claim plaintiff tendered claim affidavit at
Exh.6 and list of documents at Exh.7. Plaintiff proved the documents
viz Invoices issued by the plff to the defts alongwith consignment
receipts (Exh.8), copy of legal notice dt. 13/10/2017 issued by the
plaintiff through their Advocate alongwith its acknowledgement
receipts (Exh.9) and particulars of claim (Exh.10).
7. Heard learned Advocate for plaintiff. Perused the record and
submissions.
8. No doubt, on perusal of invoices and consignments notes it is
crystal clear that, plaintiff had supplied the goods as per request of
defendant. Defendant received the said goods as well as invoices
without any demur. Therefore, defendant is liable to pay the amount as
per invoices for the goods received by them. But defendant failed to
make the payment of goods. Even necessary compliance of submissions
of 'C' Form for the goods received is not complied by defendant.
Therefore, it is clearly established that, defendant failed to comply their
legal liability.
9. In spite of service of writ of summons defendant did not appear
to rebut the claim of plaintiff. Therefore, claim affidavit of plaintiff
remains unchallenged and unrebutted. Hence, I have to accept the
unchallenged claim of plaintiff. Therefore, suit filed by plaintiff for
recovery under O.XXXVII R.2 of C.P.C. needs to be accepted.
