Facts
:
1. The appellants were heard through their representative, Shri Deepak
Verma on 21.07.2008.
2. The representative of the appellants stated that their Companies, namely
M/s. Chemiplast Industries and M/s. Sturdy Polymers Limited have supplied
certain materials to the respondent as per agreements. They have, however, not
received full payments, a total more than 52 lakhs, which is due since 1996-97.
They alleged that the respondent has not honoured the mutually agreed terms
and conditions for settlement of disputes relating to the payment of bills. They
alleged that in spite of oft repeated requests, the respondent has not indicated
the reasons why their payments are withheld or when it would be released to
them. They have, therefore, plead that the payments due to them should be
released at the earliest as per the agreement.
