3. That the aforesaid Judgment dated 03.01.2022 passed by Dr.
Jagminder Singh, Additional District Judge. - 03, South West,
Dwarka, Delhi is absolutely bad in law, illegal, wholly
unwarranted, without jurisdiction and highly unsustainable in
the eyes of law and therefore, the same is liable to be set aside
on the following amongst other grounds.
GROUNDS
A. Because the Ld. Trial Court while passing the impugned
judgment dated 03.01.2022 gone beyond the pleading and
evidence before it and has replaced the pleading and
evidence with the opinion which is not supported by the
documents.
B. Because the Ld. Trial Court while passing the impugned
judgment dated 03.01.2022 has failed to deal with the
aspect that the bills raised by the plaintiff and receiving
on them is a work of forgery and the same is apparent
from the bare perusal of the bills. It is submitted that the
forgery is clear from the fact that the bill dated
10.03.2011 bears the receiving of 22.11.2010. It is
submitted that the bill dated 05.01.2012, clearly provides
that only bill was received and not the material stated in
the bill. It is submitted that the said bills does not even
bears the stamp of the defendant company and therefore
there the Ld. Trial Court ought to not have relied upon the
same. It is submitted that the signature of the AR and seal
of the company binds the company and in the present
case neither the receiving were given by the AR nor it
bears the stamp of the company.
C. Because in the entire suit or pleadings, the plaintiff has
nowhere pleaded that he had entered into any contract
for doing menial work for which allegedly an of Rs.
20,000/- each was paid to them on 9 occasions. It is
submitted that the Ld. Trial Court has accepted the
version of the plaintiff without there being any pleading
or evidence with respect to that.
D. Because the Ld. Trial Court fails to consider that initially
the plaintiff had tried to distance itself from the
signatures on the vouchers and it is only after the
defendant had examined the Expert Witness and had filed
the original documents, the plaintiff had changed its story
and created a false and fabricated story of the doing
menial jobs for Rs. 20,000/- on multiple occasions which
is also not supported by any evidence.
E. Because the Ld. Trial Court has gone beyond pleadings
and evidence on record. It is submitted that the plaintiff
had failed to lead evidence to alleged interpolation of
documents and despite that the Ld. Trial Court has given
finding against the defendant.
F. Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
suggestion of interpolation was given for the first time
during cross examination of the defendant witness which
was duly denied and despite that the plaintiff had not led
any evidence in support of the same even in rebuttal also.
G. Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
plaintiff was asking for ITR statements which were about
10 year old and were not available with the defendant.
H. Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that quality
goods were to be supplied in accordance with the order
placed by the defendant company and its group
companies. It is submitted that in the year 2009, the

with the plaintiff. That vide agreement dated 10,04.2010,

Sharma. It is submitted taht R K Sharma had received the
said money and signed the written acknowledgement
dated 10.04.2010 for receiving Rs. 14 Lakhs as full and
final consideration for the said material. That as against
the order for supply of Furniture, chairs in respect of
coffee shop are concerned, the plaintiff could not arrange
the fabric for chairs as agreed between the parties. Due to
the failure on the part of the plaintiff to arrange the fabric,
the defendant had arrange the same. That the defendant
company had provided the fabric to the plaintiff to
complete the order. That the material provided by the
plaintiff was of poor quality and was not usable for the 5

liable to pay Rs. 5,60,340/-. That on numerous occasions,
the defendant had called the plaintiff to return the excess
fabric however, the plaintiff with the motive of undue
gain, never returned it.
I. Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that
subsequently on 12.04.2010, the plaintiff company had
supplied furniture for the Indian Restaurant of the
defendant company. That the Director of the defendant
and RK Sharma of the plaintiff company had negotiated
the price for supply of material and schedule of the
payment. That the price of the goods was fixed at Rs.
8,37,500. That R.K. Sharma had received Rs. 400,000/- in

acknowledgment of the receipt of the said amount. That
the 30% of the remaining amount was to be paid at the
time of delivery of goods and balance 20% was to be paid
at the time of installation of the goods. That the plaintiff
never completed the said agreement and did not deliver
the goods and therefore, the balance payment never
became due.
J. Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
plaintiff with the purpose of cheating the defendant, had
deliberately not maintained proper book of accounts. That
the defendant has made an payment in excess of material
supplied to the defendant.

defendant. That the said cash vouchers are duly accounted for in
the book of accounts of the defendant.
P. Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
defendant has never signed or acknowledged any alleged
statement of accounts or reconciliation on 31.03.2012.

signatures appearing on the statement of account does not in
any way acknowledge, accept or confirm any balance, or the
statement of account per se in any manner. That the that there is
no acceptance or acknowledgment of any amount due to the
plaintiff and the signature on the account statement are
simpliciter signatures of the accountant of the defendant
company who did not have any authority for the same. That

suit.

other ground(s) which may be taken at the time of hearing of
the Appeal with the leave of this Hon’ble Court, the impugned
Judgment dated 03.01.2022 passed by the learned Additional
District Judge is liable to be set aside, and the Suit filed on behalf
of the Plaintiff is liable to be allowed.
4. That the Appellant has been subjected to grave miscarriage of
justice by virtue of the impugned Judgment dated 03.01.2022
and therefore, he has been left with no other alternative
efficacious remedy but to approach this Hon’ble Court by way of
the present Appeal.
5. That the Annexures annexed to the present Appeal are the true
copies of their respective originals and no additional
document/pleading other than the trial court record has been
filed
6. That the Appellant has not filed any other similar Petition or
Appeal against the impugned Judgment dated 03.01.2022,
except the present one. That the present petition is being filed
within a period of limitation.
