Suit 471 of 2020 .. J/3 .. Judgment
3. The last order of Rs.11,00,000/- of 2500 and 3000 meter
clothes of gents garments job work was completed, however, defendant
did not took delivery of the readymade garment material. Hence, on
23.06.2017 legal notice was sent to collect the readymade garments and
to make payment of the remaining amount. The defendant gave false
reply to the notice claiming huge loss. On 18.07.2017 rejoinder was
sent. No any amount was paid inspite of the rejoinder. Hence, again
on11.09.2017 demand notice was sent. As the goods were not collected
though they were made ready, therefore, plaintiff is not responsible for
the loss. Hence, plaintiff is also entitled for storage charges of Rs.200/-
per day from the date of demand notice dated 11.09.2017. Hence, the
suit.
4. The defendant was duly served, however, they failed to
appear. Hence by an order dated 21.08.2023 suit was directed to
proceed ex-parte against him.
5. From the pleadings of plaintiff, following points arise for
my consideration and determination to which I have given my findings
alongwith reasons as under:
Sr. Points Findings
1. Is plaintiff is entitled for recovery of an amount of
Rs.13,07,739/- alongwith 18% p.a from defendant ?

Suit 471 of 2020 .. J/4 .. Judgment
REASONS
6. In order to substantiate his claim, plaintiff filed his
evidence affidavit vide (Exh.3). The documentary evidence consists of
Invoices (Exh.5 to 52 Colly), copy of statement of account (document of
cash received (Exh.53), demand notice (Exh.54), Plaintiffs filed
evidence closed pursis (Exh.55).
AS TO POINT NO.1.
7. Heard Adv. Pandey for plaintiff and gone through the entire
documents filed on record. It is the case of the plaintiff that he was
doing the stiching work for defendants and during the period job work
of Rs.84,40,169/- was done out of which Rs.73,50,000/- was received.
An amount of Rs.13,07,739/- is pending of the remaining bills of which
details are given in the plaint. The plaintiff filed his evidence affidavit
in which the contents of the plaint are reiterated and in absence of cross
examination the same have gone unchallenged. Perusal of the invoices
Exh.5 to 52 Colly reveals the job work done by the plaintiff at the
instance of the defendant. Whereas the copy of statement of account
Exh.53 reveals the payment received. As per the statement of account
Rs.10,90,169/- is the balance and Rs.2,17,570/- vide bill No.316 is the
outstanding amount. Thus an amount of Rs.13,07,739/- is outstanding.
8. As discussed above the suit proceeded ex-parte and the
averments made in the plaint and in the evidence affidavit in absence
denial and cross-examination is deem to be admitted. Therefore,
plaintiff is entitled for recovery of Rs.13,07,739/-. As regards the rate
of interest, in the invoices no any rate of interest is mentioned.
