The last payment was made on 4.2.1998 by the<\/p>\n<p>          defendant through Bank Draft No.809384.            It was<\/p>\n<p>          stipulated that if the payment of bills amount is not made<\/p>\n<p>          within 15 days, then an interest at the rate of 24% per<\/p>\n<p>          annum would be chargeable. However, the defendant did<\/p>\n<p>          not make the payment as agreed, rather declared that<\/p>\n<p>          the lime supplied by the plaintiff is not according to the<\/p>\n<p>          specifications. It was a just lame excuse made by the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> R.S.A.No. 3536 of 2009 (O&amp;M)                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          defendant.     In fact, the defendant was interested to<\/p>\n<p>          purchase the lime from other party for wilful gain. After<\/p>\n<p>          declaring the     goods as substandard, the defendant<\/p>\n<p>          purchased the lime from other companies at higher rate<\/p>\n<p>          and in this way, they deprived the plaintiff from supplying<\/p>\n<p>          the goods further to them and the defendants also caused<\/p>\n<p>          loss to the plaintiff.   In fact, the plaintiff had not only<\/p>\n<p>          supplied the quick lime to the defendants, but he had<\/p>\n<p>          supplied the same to various concerns and they never<\/p>\n<p>          raised any objection. On repeated requests made by the<\/p>\n<p>          plaintiff, on 19.5.1998, the defendant issued a cheque<\/p>\n<p>          dated 19.5.1998 for Rs.117-10 paise to the plaintiff and<\/p>\n<p>          as per their own calculations, they deducted a sum of Rs.<\/p>\n<p>          56,083-15 paise, illegally and unlawfully.        Then the<\/p>\n<p>          plaintiff protested against this illegal deduction and<\/p>\n<p>          referred the matter to the Managing Director, Punjab<\/p>\n<p>          State Federation of Cooperative Sugar Mills Limited,<\/p>\n<p>          Chandigarh, requesting him for the release of balance<\/p>\n<p>          amount, but they also did not give any reply to the letters<\/p>\n<p>          of the plaintiff. Hence, the present suit for recovery of<\/p>\n<p>          Rs.96,344\/- including interest amount to Rs.33,783\/- at<\/p>\n<p>          the rate of 24% per annum.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          4.

Upon merits, it has been pleaded<\/p>\n<p>          that   the   Sugarfed,   Punjab   had   placed    an       order<\/p>\n<p>          No.PSF\/Lime\/A-2\/97\/74-75 dated 21.10.1997 for the<\/p>\n<p>          supply of 440 M.T.

Since the lime supplied by the plaintiff was not as<\/p>\n<p>          per the specifications of the purchase order, resultantly,<\/p>\n<p>          the plaintiff was informed telegraphically as well as by<\/p>\n<p>          post, a number of times to improve the quality of the lime<\/p>\n<p>          as the same was of the inferior quality and was not as per<\/p>\n<p>          the specifications, but the plaintiff did not pay any heed to<\/p>\n<p>          the written requests made by the defendant. In this way,<\/p>\n<p>          the defendant had to purchase the lime at higher rate<\/p>\n<p>          from the market in order to fulfill their requirement. The<\/p>\n<p>          lime supplied by the plaintiff was also got tested and it<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> R.S.A.No. 3536 of 2009 (O&amp;M)                                          6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            was found below the specifications, as such, the<\/p>\n<p>            defendant was well within their right to deduct the amount<\/p>\n<p>            as per Clause 9 of the Purchase Order.

The<\/p>\n<p>defendant accepted the delivery of lime from the plaintiff. Out of the<\/p>\n<p>total sale consideration of Rs.6,80,488-35 paise, defendant made<\/p>\n<p>payment of Rs.6,17,810\/- to the plaintiff.        Since the payment<\/p>\n<p>regarding the remaining amount was not made to the plaintiff, the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff filed the present suit for recovery of the balance amount. The<\/p>\n<p>case of the defendant was that the lime supplied qua the remaining<\/p>\n<p>amount was of substandard quality and hence, it had settled the<\/p>\n<p>accounts    with the plaintiff after deducting the amount regarding<\/p>\n<p>substandard lime, while making the full and final payment to him.<\/p>\n<p>The defendant placed reliance on report of the Chemical Analyst to<\/p>\n<p>the effect that the lime supplied by the plaintiff was of substandard<\/p>\n<p>quality.   However, the Chemical Analyst, who had prepared the<\/p>\n<p>report, was not examined by the defendant to prove the said report.<\/p>\n<p>In these circumstances, the learned Additional District Judge rightly<\/p>\n<p>held that no reliance could be placed on the report of the Chemical<\/p>\n<p>Analyst.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Since the appellant had contested the suit and had not<\/p>\n<p>asked for reference of the case to Arbitrator before filing the written<\/p>\n<p>statement, the argument raised by the learned counsel that the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> R.S.A.No. 3536 of 2009 (O&amp;M)                                    8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>dispute should have been referred to Arbitrator is without any force.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Courts below, after appreciating the evidence on record,<\/p>\n<p>held that since the lime in question had been used\/utilized by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant, the defendant was liable to make payment to the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>regarding the lime supplied to it. The last payment was made by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant on 9.5.1998.
