GUPTA, J.\n<\/pre>\n<p>      Appellant has filed this appeal challenging the<\/p>\n<p>judgment dated 30th September, 2008 passed by<\/p>\n<p>Additional District Judge, Delhi, vide which appellant\u201fs<\/p>\n<p>leave to defend application, was dismissed and suit of<\/p>\n<p>respondent, was decreed for Rs.6,68,513\/- together<\/p>\n<p>with costs and interest pendete lite and future @ 6%<\/p>\n<p>per annum.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    Facts in brief are that respondent who is the sole<\/p>\n<p>proprietor       of    his    firm,   was     having    business<\/p>\n<p>transactions with the appellant.            Appellant had been<\/p>\n<p>purchasing iron sheets on credit basis from the<\/p>\n<p>respondent. A sum of Rs.4,42,724\/- became due and<\/p>\n<p>appellant settled the accounts and acknowledged the<\/p>\n<p>liability of this amount.             Respondent approached<\/p>\n<p>appellant several times and asked him to pay the<\/p>\n<p>amount.        Appellant issued a cheque for sum of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.3,50,000\/- dated 11th October, 2006, towards part<\/p>\n<p>payment, which was signed by Sh. Pyare Lal, the sole<\/p>\n<p>proprietor of the appellant\u201fs firm. On presentation the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009                      Page 2 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n same was dishonoured. A legal notice was sent. Since<\/p>\n<p>appellant failed to pay this amount, respondent filed<\/p>\n<p>the present suit under Order 37 Rules 1 &amp; 2 of the<\/p>\n<p>Code of Civil Procedure (\u201efor short as \u201eCode\u201f).<\/p>\n<p>3.    Appellant filed an application under Order 37<\/p>\n<p>Rule 3 of the Code, seeking permission to leave to<\/p>\n<p>defend.       In the application, appellant stated that<\/p>\n<p>cheque for Rs.3.5 lacs was issued       towards security<\/p>\n<p>only and the same was issued by appellant on 11th<\/p>\n<p>October, 2000, but respondent forged the date of the<\/p>\n<p>cheque from 11th October, 2000 to 11th October, 2006,<\/p>\n<p>i.e. after six years and that too after altering the date<\/p>\n<p>of the cheque.         Rest of the cheque was blank and<\/p>\n<p>appellant had put the date and signatures on the face<\/p>\n<p>of the cheque for security purpose.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    It had been admitted by the appellant that he had<\/p>\n<p>been purchasing iron sheets from respondent.              Last<\/p>\n<p>payment was made to the respondent for Rs.25,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>vide cheque, dated 27th September, 2004.                   The<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009                 Page 3 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n appellant owed only Rs.1,18,230\/- on 27th September,<\/p>\n<p>2004 and the issues raised are genuine and triable.<\/p>\n<p>5.    It has been contended by learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellant, that cheque in question was forged, since<\/p>\n<p>the date of the cheque has been changed and amount<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in the cheque was towards security only<\/p>\n<p>and not towards any other payment.                  The case of<\/p>\n<p>respondent is also time barred.             Learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the appellant in support of his contention cited a<\/p>\n<p>decision of Madras High Court, T.Kalavathy v.<\/p>\n<p>Veera Exports, 2001(2)JCC(HC)37.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    As per averments made in the application for<\/p>\n<p>leave to defend, appellant had business dealings with<\/p>\n<p>the    respondent       and     appellant    owed    a     sum         of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,18,230\/- on 27th September, 2004.                   The main<\/p>\n<p>defence of the appellant is that the cheque in question<\/p>\n<p>was issued towards security only and respondent has<\/p>\n<p>forged the date of the cheque from 11th October, 2000<\/p>\n<p>to 11th October, 2006. Rest of the cheque was blank<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009                        Page 4 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n and appellant had put date and signed on the face of<\/p>\n<p>the cheque for security purpose.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    In reply to the legal notice, appellant had stated<\/p>\n<p>that the cheque was issued as security and only date<\/p>\n<p>was mentioned on it and other portion of the cheque<\/p>\n<p>was blank.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    Appellant is taking contradictory stand, as on the<\/p>\n<p>one hand, in application for leave to contest, he states<\/p>\n<p>that date of the cheque was forged and rest of the<\/p>\n<p>cheque was blank, while in the same breath he states<\/p>\n<p>that he had put the date and signatures on the face of<\/p>\n<p>the cheque for the security purpose.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>9.    On the other hand, in reply to the legal notice,<\/p>\n<p>appellant\u201fs case is that, only date was mentioned on<\/p>\n<p>the cheque and other portion of cheque was blank.<\/p>\n<p>10. Appellant has nowhere stated either in his leave<\/p>\n<p>application or in reply to the legal notice, that name of<\/p>\n<p>payee of cheque was also forged, nor he has stated<\/p>\n<p>that this cheque does not bear his signatures or his<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009             Page 5 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n signatures has been forged.               Only plea taken by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant is that, the date mentioned on the cheque<\/p>\n<p>has been altered and forged.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>11. Appellant         himself       has     placed   on      record,<\/p>\n<p>photocopy of the cheque at Page 15 of the paper book.<\/p>\n<p>There is no alteration, overwriting or cutting on the<\/p>\n<p>date of the cheque, which has been mentioned as &#8220;11th<\/p>\n<p>October, 2006&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>12. Now coming to the plea taken up by the appellant<\/p>\n<p>that a sum of Rs.3.5 lacs was given towards security.<\/p>\n<p>If Rs.3.5 lacs was given towards security as earlier as<\/p>\n<p>on 11th October, 2000, then it is not clear as to why till<\/p>\n<p>date, the appellant has not asked for refund of this<\/p>\n<p>security amount. Interestingly, in leave application, it<\/p>\n<p>is no where mentioned as in what connection, this<\/p>\n<p>security amount was given. Was there any agreement<\/p>\n<p>to deposit security amount?\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>13. As per appellant\u201fs own case, he owed a sum of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,18,230\/- on 27th September, 2004.                     There is<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009                         Page 6 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n nothing on record to show that appellant till date has<\/p>\n<p>paid even this amount to the respondent.<\/p>\n<p>14. Another feature in this case is that, in Para 6 of<\/p>\n<p>application for leave to defend, appellant had taken the<\/p>\n<p>stand, that he always put Roman \u201eX\u201f for the month of<\/p>\n<p>October. Para 6 of application reads as under;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;That the defendant always put<br \/>\n             roman \u201eX\u201f for the October month and<br \/>\n             he specifically mentioned the date<br \/>\n             11\/X\/2000     and     the    plaintiff<br \/>\n             altered\/forged    the   date    from<br \/>\n             11\/X\/2000 to 11\/10\/2006.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>15. As per the photocopy of the cheque, the date on<\/p>\n<p>the   cheque       mentioned        is   &#8220;11\/10\/2006&#8221;    and     not<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;11\/X\/2000&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>16. The trial court also rejected this defence taken by<\/p>\n<p>the appellant observing;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            &#8220;Other than mere repudiation of the<br \/>\n         liability on the grounds of the cheque<br \/>\n         being misused by fabricating the date, no<br \/>\n         triable issue has been raised.       The<br \/>\n         defendants contention that the date on<br \/>\n         the cheque has been altered from 2000 to<br \/>\n         2006 by manipulating the \u201e0\u201f &amp; \u201e6\u201f does<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009                       Page 7 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n          not seem to be correct as the circle of \u201e6\u201f<br \/>\n         is smaller than the zeros in the figure of<br \/>\n         &#8220;2000&#8221;. The defence of a blank cheque<br \/>\n         given by them also does not entitle them<br \/>\n         to escape their liability. The plaintiff has<br \/>\n         also relied upon the defendants own<br \/>\n         ledger     extract,      confirming      the<br \/>\n         transactions and reflecting the balance of<br \/>\n         Rs.4,42,724\/- due to the plaintiff.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>17. So, from the entire material available on record, I<\/p>\n<p>come to the conclusion that the defence raised by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant in its leave application are sham, most bogus<\/p>\n<p>and frivolous one. The only intention of the appellant<\/p>\n<p>is not to make the payment due, to the respondent.<\/p>\n<p>The case law cited is not at all applicable to the facts of<\/p>\n<p>the present case.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>18. Under these circumstances, I do not find any<\/p>\n<p>infirmity or ambiguity in the judgment of the trial<\/p>\n<p>court. The appeal filed by the appellant is most bogus<\/p>\n<p>and frivolous one and the same is hereby dismissed<\/p>\n<p>with costs of Rs.20,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009               Page 8 of 9<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p> 19. Costs be deposited with the trial court within one<\/p>\n<p>month from today, failing which the trial court shall<\/p>\n<p>recover the same, in accordance with law.<\/p>\n<p>20. Copy of this judgment be sent to trial court.<\/p>\n<p>21. Trial court record be sent back.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       V.B.GUPTA, J<\/p>\n<p>May 20, 2009<br \/>\nrb<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No.147\/2009 &amp; CM No.5923\/2009            Page 9 of 9<\/span>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court M\/S.
