4. Plaintiff submitted that, plaintiff sold, dispatched and delivered
606 kilograms of “Copper Tubes” materials worth Rs.3,61,127/ to
defendant vide Tax Invoice No.0516 dt.10.02.2015 through Jamnagar
Transport Service under its Lorry Receipt No.859419 dt.10.02.2015.
Defendants did not raise any dispute about the goods and invoice.
Defendant made part payment of Rs.1,85,000/ leaving behind a
principal balance sum of Rs.1,76,127/. Plaintiff, its agents and
servants repeatedly called uon defendants to pay the dues, which
defendant agreed initially, but failed and neglected to pay the
outstanding amount. Therefore, plaintiff issued legal demand notice
dt.14.01.2017 called upon defendant No.1 to pay the outstanding
amount. However, defendants did not comply the same. Therefore, at
last, plaintiff approached to this Court by filing suit against defendants
for recovery of outstanding amount.
5. Writ of summons of this suit served upon defendants. Affidavit of
service is filed at Exh.7. In spite of service defendants have not
appeared nor contested the suit. Hence, suit proceeded exparte against
defendants.
6. In support of his claim plaintiff tendered claim affidavit at Exh.8
and list of documents at Exh.9. Plaintiff proved the following
documents :
Exh. Particulars
10 Tax Invoice No.0516.
11 Ledger Account.

7. On perusal of the invoice and ledger account it is proved that,
plaintiff has sold and supplied the goods to defendants from time to
time and defendants received the same. Defendants have not raised
any objection about the goods and/or invoices. Therefore, defendants
are liable to pay the outstanding amount due and payable against them.
8. In spite of receipt of service of writ of summons none appeared
on behalf of defendants to rebut the claim of plaintiff. Therefore, claim
of plaintiff remains unchallenged and unrebutted. Even the documents
proved by plaintiff remain uncontroverted. Therefore, I have no
hesitation to accept the claim and suit filed by plaintiff for recovery
under O.XXXVII R.2 of C.P.C. As per terms and conditions as
mentioned in invoices, defendants are liable to pay interest @ 18% on
the outstanding due amount. Therefore, plaintiff is liable to recover the
outstanding amount with interest @ 18% per annum. In spite of
repeated demand and opportunity defendants have not paid the
amount. Therefore, costs of this suit needs to be saddled on defendants.
9. The suit remains unchallenged and undefended. Therefore,
under partIII, R(E), schedule I of Bombay City Civil & Sessions Court
Rule, 1948 plaintiff becomes entitled for refund of 2/3rd court fee
voucher, if prayed. In the result, suit deserves to be decreed with costs.
Hence, I proceed to pass the following order :
O R D E R
1. Suit is decreed with costs.
2. Defendant Nos.1 to 6 jointly and severally do pay
Rs.3,19,285/39 paise along with interest @ 18 % per
annum on principal outstanding amount to plaintiff
-- 4 of 6 --
.. j/5 .. Summary Suit No.334/2018
from the date of filing of this suit till realization of
entire decreetal amount.
3. Defendant Nos.1 to 6 jointly and severally do bear their
own costs with costs of plaintiff.
4. Decree be drawn up accordingly.
5. The 2/3rd Court fee refund voucher, as per rule, be
issued in favour of plaintiff, if prayed.
