No. 359 of 1994 on the file of the<\/p>\n<p>Subordinate Judge&#8217;s Court, N. Paravur is the appellant in this<\/p>\n<p>appeal.   The said suit was for a realisation of a sum of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.25,655.65 with interest thereon at the rate of 18% per<\/p>\n<p>annum.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The case of the plaintiff can be summarised as follows:-<\/p>\n<p>     2. The plaintiff is a partnership firm conducting wholesale<\/p>\n<p>business in grocery articles at Perumbavoor. The defendant used<\/p>\n<p>to purchase on credit grocery items from the plaintiff&#8217;s shop. On<\/p>\n<p>28.11.1992,    the   defendant     issued   Ext.A1   cheque    for<\/p>\n<p>Rs.24,655.65 in favour of the plaintiff.    The said cheque was<\/p>\n<p>drawn on the Kizhakkambalam branch of the Federal Bank Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>On 23.11.1992, the plaintiff issued Ext.A4 lawyer notice to the<\/p>\n<p>effect that he would be presenting Ext.A1 cheque before the<\/p>\n<p>drawee bank on 28.11.1992 and calling upon the defendant to<\/p>\n<p>keep ready sufficient money in his account.       But, when the<\/p>\n<p>cheque was presented on 28.11.1992 before the collecting bank,<\/p>\n<p>it was dishonoured for the reason that there was no sufficient<\/p>\n<p>funds in the account of the plaintiff. The drawee bank issued<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A3 dishonour memo dated 22.12.1992 and the collecting<\/p>\n<p>bank issued Ext.A2 memo dated 02.03.1993 intimating the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff about the dishonour. Even though the plaintiff sent a<\/p>\n<p>notice on 31.01.1994 demanding payment of the cheque amount,<\/p>\n<p>the defendant has deliberately evaded the payment stating one<\/p>\n<p>reason or the other. The plaintiff has the right to claim interest<\/p>\n<p>at the rate of 18% per annum on the cheque amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.24,655.65. Hence the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. The suit was resisted by the defendant contending inter<\/p>\n<p>alia as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>      The suit is not maintainable. This defendant is not bound to<\/p>\n<p>pay the amount mentioned in the plaint. This defendant does not<\/p>\n<p>owe the sum of Rs.24,655.65 as stated in paragraph 3 of the<\/p>\n<p>plaint. It is true that this defendant has been buying on credit<\/p>\n<p>articles from the plaintiff&#8217;s shop. Ext.A1 was only a signed blank<\/p>\n<p>cheque given by this defendant by way of security for the amount<\/p>\n<p>due from him. The actual amount due from this defendant to the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff was Rs.23,455.65. In December, 1992, this defendant<\/p>\n<p>had paid a sum of Rs.14,996.70 as cash to the plaintiff.          As<\/p>\n<p>against the balance amount of Rs.8458.95, a sum of Rs.1500\/-<\/p>\n<p>was    paid  on   08.02.1993      through    this   defendant&#8217;s son<\/p>\n<p>Shihabudheen (DW2) and on receipt of the same, the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>had sent Ext.B1 chit dated 08.02.1993 acknowledging receipt of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1500\/- towards Rs.8,458.95 and stating that the balance<\/p>\n<p>amount due was Rs.6,958.95. Thereafter on 16.03.1993, this<\/p>\n<p>defendant had sent Rs.1000\/- through his son leaving a balance<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.5958.95. Subsequently, on 17.04.1993, this defendant had<\/p>\n<p>sent another sum of Rs.1000\/- through one Valappil Mohammed<\/p>\n<p>Kaderkunju and the balance amount due from this defendant is<\/p>\n<p>Rs.4,958.95 which this defendant is willing to pay to the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>on demand.     Except for the said amount of Rs.4,958.95, this<\/p>\n<p>defendant is not liable to pay any other amounts to the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p>The suit may, therefore, be dismissed. Since the plaintiff has no<\/p>\n<p>cause of action, the plaintiff is also not entitled to any amount by<\/p>\n<p>way of interest.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4. On the side of the plaintiff, Exts.A1 to A4 were marked.<\/p>\n<p>It is not known as to how these documents were marked without<\/p>\n<p>proof since neither the plaintiff nor anybody on his behalf<\/p>\n<p>mounted the witness box. On the side of the defendants, the<\/p>\n<p>defendant and his son Shihabudheen were examined as DWs 1<\/p>\n<p>and 2 and Ext.B1 chit dated 08.02.1993 was marked.<\/p>\n<p>      5. The defendant examined as DW1 spoke in terms of the<\/p>\n<p>averments in the written statement. His son examined as DW2<\/p>\n<p>gave evidence to the effect that on 08.02.1993, the defendant<\/p>\n<p>had entrusted a sum of Rs.1500\/- with him to pay the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>and he had paid the same to the plaintiff who had issued Ext.B1<\/p>\n<p>chit acknowledging receipt of the said amount and indicating the<\/p>\n<p>balance amount of Rs.6,958.95.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6. The court below proceeded on the footing that since the<\/p>\n<p>defendant had pleaded a discharge, the entire burden was on the<\/p>\n<p>defendant and holding that the defendant failed to prove the<\/p>\n<p>discharge set up by him for the cheque amount of Rs.24,655.65,<\/p>\n<p>the court below passed a decree for Rs.30,576\/- with interest at<\/p>\n<p>the rate of 18% per annum from the date of suit till realisation.<\/p>\n<p>It is the said decree which is assailed in this appeal by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant.\n<\/p>\n<p>     7. I heard the learned counsel appearing on either side.<\/p>\n<p>     8. The learned counsel appearing for the plaintiff made the<\/p>\n<p>following submissions before me in support of the decree:-<\/p>\n<p>     The defendant has admittedly been purchasing grocery<\/p>\n<p>items from the plaintiff&#8217;s shop on credit. He was setting up a<\/p>\n<p>plea of discharge. So, the entire burden was on the defendant to<\/p>\n<p>prove the discharge.      The defendant had miserably failed to<\/p>\n<p>prove the discharge. The court below was right in holding that<\/p>\n<p>Ext.B1 chit has not been shown to have been issued in respect of<\/p>\n<p>the transaction in question. Hence, the decree passed by the<\/p>\n<p>court below does not call for any interference.<\/p>\n<p>     9.     I am afraid that I cannot agree with the above<\/p>\n<p>submissions. The specific stand taken by the defendant in his<\/p>\n<p>written statement is that Ext.A1 cheque was issued by way of<\/p>\n<p>security for the grocery items purchased by him on credit from<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff&#8217;s shop on various occasions. This is not a case where<\/p>\n<p>the defendant has admitted the suit claim of Rs. 24,655.65 and<\/p>\n<p>has pleaded a discharge. The specific case of the defendant is<\/p>\n<p>that the amount which he owed towards the plaintiff was only<\/p>\n<p>Rs.23,455.65. He was pleading a partial discharge of the said<\/p>\n<p>amount and not the suit amount. The defendant examined as<\/p>\n<p>PW1 spoke in terms of the written statement and stated that<\/p>\n<p>Ext.B1 was a chit issued by the plaintiff to the defendant&#8217;s son<\/p>\n<p>(DW2) on paying a sum of Rs.1500\/- to the plaintiff.            The<\/p>\n<p>defendant&#8217;s son examined as DW2 also corroborated the said<\/p>\n<p>version of PW1. There was not even a suggestion put to DWs 1<\/p>\n<p>and 2 that Ext.B1 chit was not issued by the plaintiff or that it<\/p>\n<p>was issued as against some other transaction.            The most<\/p>\n<p>competent person who could have confirmed or denied Ext.B1<\/p>\n<p>was the plaintiff himself. For reasons best known to the plaintiff,<\/p>\n<p>he did not mount the witness box. If so, the court below was not<\/p>\n<p>justified in holding that the defendant has failed to prove the case<\/p>\n<p>set up by him. Going by the defence case as substantiated by<\/p>\n<p>DWs 1 and 2, the balance amount that was due to the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>was only the sum of Rs. 4958.95 after giving credit to the<\/p>\n<p>payment of Rs.1500\/- on 08.02.1993, Rs.1000\/- on 16.03.1993<\/p>\n<p>and another sum of Rs.1000\/- on 17.04.1993. In all fairness, the<\/p>\n<p>defendant had admitted that he was willing to pay the balance<\/p>\n<p>amount of Rs.4958.95. In the facts and circumstances of the<\/p>\n<p>case, the plaintiff would be entitled only to the said amount since<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff has failed to substantiate the suit claim. Neither the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff nor the court below was entitled to put the blame on the<\/p>\n<p>defendant for failure to prove the alleged discharge set up by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant with regard to the suit claim.           Accordingly, the<\/p>\n<p>judgment and decree passed by the court below are set aside and<\/p>\n<p>the suit will stand decreed for a sum of Rs.4958.95 which amount<\/p>\n<p>shall carry interest at the rate of 18% per annum on the principal<\/p>\n<p>amount till the date of suit and at the rate of 6% per annum from<\/p>\n<p>the date of suit till realisation failing which the plaintiff will be<\/p>\n<p>entitled to realise the same from the defendant and his assets.<\/p>\n<p>      This appeal is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Dated this the 18th day of June, 2009.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         V.
