COMMERCIAL SUIT NO. 406 OF 2021
{SUIT UNDER ORDER XXXVII OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, 1908}

VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 inter-alia seeking rejection of the
2. That the Plaintiff herein has filed the accompanying suit for recovery against the
Defendant under Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which is not at
all maintainable.
3. That the Defendant herein submits that the Plaint filed by the Plaintiff needs to be
rejected, pursuant to the provisions of the Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil
(a) Inasmuch as prima facie, the contents of the present suit itself fail to establish
any cause of action against the Defendant and in favor of the Plaintiff. Further,
the contents of the present suit, prima facie fails to establish that how the
present suit under order VII is maintainable against the Defendant for the
(b) Inasmuch as the present suit preferred by the Plaintiff herein is an utter abuse
of the process of law and based on false and unwarranted submission having no
relevance with the actual cause of action and hence the same is uncalled for.
The entire contents and contentions as contained in the present suit are
the case where an interim application is filed. This implies that mediation is a
pre-requisite step before the filing of a commercial suit. The present suit has
been filed by the plaintiff which is a Partnership Firm. Mr. Pawan Kr. Gupta
represents itself to be the partner of the said firm. It is apparent that Mr. Pawan
Kr. Gupta was not authorized to file the suit inasmuch as he did not have valid
barred by sec 12A of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 which is being reproduced
herein as under:
(d) Inasmuch as in addition to the preceding para, it is submitted that there are
discrepancies between the averment made in the plaint and the documents
placed on record by the Plaintiff, as per them three partnership deeds dated
01.04.1988, 01.04.1992 & 21.12.2020 were entered into between the partners
of the Plnlnllfrs fh m . 7 I)~, rll~(riJµ, 111CIL•~ wlllcl, c<1st doubt upon the genuineness
• The lntcsl deed of pni lnc1~-hip dnlccl 2 1. I ? .2020 gives reference to a deed
doted 0t.0·L 1988, however, 110 rcrcrcncc of " deed dated 01.01-.1992 was
mentioned In the sole.I lntcst' clct'CI.
• The PlnlnUIT hns on only µlocc on record tl1e Deed dated 21. 12.2020 and
01.04.1992, however, tile deed doted 01.04·. L988 has not been placed on
record.
• The authorization dated 03.01. 2021 gives reference to the deed dated
01.04.1992, however the same does not give reference to the deed dated
01.0,ugss and the latest deed dated 21.12.2020.
( e) Inasmuch as the reference of this Hon'ble may be drawn towards section 69(2)
Upon perusal of the above provision, it is clear that a suit to enforce a right
arising out of a contract can only be instituted by the registered partnership firm,
meaning thereby an unregistered firm cannot institute such suit. As per the
plaint, the present suit is based upon a contract between the Plaintiff and
Defendant and not to claim rights under common law. It may be noted that the
would not entitle a partnership firm to continue with the suit. Therefore, the suit
have held that "When a plaint is present ed in such manner, by a firm, wh ich is
incompe tent to do l!kewise, [it} cannot lead to proper and legal institutio n of the
suit. Therefore, when this section is with referenc e to [ the} very maintai nability
of the suit, a decree passed is not only void but also an imprope r exercise of
jurisdict ion amount ing to an illegality. It is well known that there cannot be
contrac ting out of the statutor y provisions and a decree passed in derogation of
the terms of section 69 (2) of the Indian Partnership Act cannot be legally
sustained. A decree of this kin(1✓ can indee(1✓ be question ed at any stage. "
(g) Inasmu ch as the Plaintiff has not approached this Hon'ble Court with clea n
(i) The Plaintiff has miserably failed to give exact dates as to since when the
Plaintiff and Defendant are in the business; since when the Plaintiff is

were engaged in business from 01.04.2019 and they are maintain ing the
recovery and has also placed invoices & ledger prior to the period
01.04.2019 would depict that on 01.04.2019 the opening balance was Rs.
assuming that the Plaintiff is also claiming seeking recovery for the period
5
prior to 01.04.2019, then how the Plaintiff has discriminated amongst the
invoices and why only 3-4 invoices qua the period prior to 01.04.2019 has
In response to the above, it is stated that to maintain a suit for recovery section
Defendant resides; carries on business; personally work for gain, or where the
provisions of Companies Act, 1956 and having its regd. office at House no. 492
Defendant falls within the territory of this Hon'ble Court. It is submitted that
telephonically and not at the Plaintiff's Delhi office which was also confirmed
by the Plaintiff in para 4 of the suit. Even otherwise the Plaintiff has not placed
even an iota of the purchase order which ought to have been placed by the
concerned, l11e same Is false and Is an arm twisting Lactic of the Plaintiff Jui;t
the entire meetings, discussion qua the recovery made in the suit arc only held
at the Plaintiff's Gurgaon offlce, no such meetings were held at Plaintiff'~ Delhi
offlce. The Invoices, e-way bills placed by the Plaintiff would depict that the
Plaintiff has supplied the goods from Its Gurgaon office to the Faridabad office
of the Defendant.
In order to invoke the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon'ble Court, the Plaintiff
& 05.03.2019 wherein it is shown that the goods were supplied from Plaintiffs
Delhi office to Defendant's Faridabad office. The said invoices are forged and
► The said invoices are not supported with e-way bills or any other
delivery receipts.
► The said invoices does not have receiving of the Defendant Company.
► Even the ledger account placed by the Plaintiff does not have the entries
of these invoices.
Whereas perusal of the rest of the invoices placed by the Plaintiff would depict
the supply have been made from Plaintiffs Gurgaon office to the Defendant's
the Defendant Company. Further, the entries of those invoices are also
mentioned in the ledger account of the Plaintiff. Therefore, it is clear that the
Plaintiff just to invoke the jurisdiction of this Hon'ble Court has mala fidely
forged and fabricated the said invoices. Against the said acts of the Plaintiff the
Defendant herein reserves its right to enforce the same before the appropriate
established law under Delhi, and this Hon'ble Court lacks initial jurisdiction to
clause in the invoice is concerned, it is submitted that now the law is settled
that to invoke territorial jurisdiction the intentions of parties must be clear and
the cause of action must have been accrued within that place (mentioned in
the invoice), then only a suit can be instituted on the basis of a jurisdictional
clause.
Therefore, since the requirement of section 20 of CPC has not been satisfied,
under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956 and having its regd. office at House
no. 492 Sector-21A, Faridabad, Haryana-121001 and none of the office of the
Defendant falls within the territory of this Hon'ble Court. It is submitted that for
and not at the Plaintiff's Delhi office which was also confirmed by the Plaintiff in
para 4 of the suit. Even otherwise the Plaintiff has not placed even an iota of the
purchase order which ought to have been placed by the Defendant at Plaintiff's
Delhi office.
(i) Inasmuch as the contention qua supplying the goods from Plaintiff's Delhi office
is concerned, the same is false and is an arm twisting tactic of the Plaintiff just
to invoke the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon'ble Court. It is submitted that the
entire meetings, discussion qua the recovery made in the suit are only held at
the Plaintiff's Gurgaon office, no such meetings were held at Plaintiff's Delhi
office. The invoices, e-way bills placed by the Plaintiff would depict that the
Plaintiff has supplied the goods from its Gurgaon office to the Faridabad office
of the Defendant.
4. That the ingredients for allowing the present application lies in favor of the Defendant
5. That grave prejudice would be caused to the Defendants if the present application is
not allowed inasmuch as the Defendants have already suffered a lot due· to the

within the ambit and scope of provision s of the si.1 lcl Order 37 of the C.P.C., ba:;lder;
there are several triable issues entitling the Defendant to unconditional lenve to clefencl
the suit.
4. That the Defendant is entitled to leave to defend bemuse of Lhe following grounclc;:
a) That at the outset it is submitted that the present suit preferred by Ll,e Plaintiff
herein is an utter abuse of the process of law and based on false and unwarranted
submission having no relevance with the actual cause of action and hence the
same is uncalled for. The entire contents and contentions as contained In the
present suit are mischievously drafted, motivated and an act to create prejudice In
the eyes of the law for the Defendant herein.
b) That in a commercial suit for recovery it is necessitated that before instituting tHe
suit, a pre-litigation mediation is required to be followed except the case where an
interim application is filed. This implies that the mediation Is a pre-requisite step
before filing of a commercial suit. The present suit has been filed by plaintiff which
is a Partnership Firm. Mr. Pawan Kumar Gupta represents itself to be the partner
of the said firm . It is apparent that Mr. Pawan Kr. Gupta was not authorize d to Ale
the suit inasmuch as the he did not have the valid autorisation at the time of the
pre-litigation mediation. Accordingly the suit is barred by S.12A of the The
Commercial Courts Act, 2015 which is reproduced hereinbelow for the ready
reference of this Hon'ble Court:
12A. Pre-Institution Mediation and Settlement-(1) A suit, which does not contemplate
11
any urgent interim relief under this Act, shall not be instituted unless the plaintiff exhausts
the remedy of preinstitution mediation in accordance with such manner and procedure as

---·..:.-.:.::--·· 21.12.2020 were entered into between the partners of the Plaintiff's firm. The
discrepancies which cast doubt upon the genuineness of the Plaintiff firm is
mentioned herein below:

s
reference to a deed
dated 01.04.1988, however, no refere nce of a deed
dated 01.04.1992 was

In response to the above, it is stated that to maintain a suit for recovery section
20 of CPC is required to look into which states either it is to be filed where
Defendant resides; carries on business; personally work for gain, or where the
cause of action arose.
Insofar as contention qua supply~ng the goods from Plaintiff's Delhi office is
concerned, the same is false and is an arm twisting tactic of the Plaintiff just
to invoke the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon'ble Court. It is submitted that
the entire meetings, discussion qua the recovery made in the suit are only held
at the Plaintiff's Gurgaon office, no such meetings were held at Plaintiff's Delhi
office. The invoices, e-way bills placed by the Plaintiff would depict that the
Plaintiff has supplied the goods from its Gurgaon office to the Faridabad office
of the Defendant.

delivery receipts.
► The said invoices does not have receiving of the Defendant Company.
► Even the ledger account placed by the Plaintiff does not have the entries
of these invoices.
i
Whereas perusal of the rest of the invoices placed by the Plaintiff would depict
the supply have been made from Plaintiff's Gurgaon office to the Defendant's
Faridabad office. Those invoices also have the receiving/acknowledgment by
the Defendant Company. Further, the entries of those invoices are also
mentioned in the ledger account of the Plaintiff. Therefore, it is clear that the
Plaintiff just to invoke the jurisdiction of this Hon'ble Court has mala fidely
forged and fabricated the said invoices. Against the said acts of the Plaintiff the
Defendant herein reserves its right to enforce the same before the appropriate
forum. Hence, this Hon'ble Court has no territorial jurisdiction to entertain or
adjudicate upon parties' controversies and disputes within the court's
established law under Delhi I and this Hon'ble Court lacks initial jurisdiction to
try this suit, hence need be dismissed with cost.
Therefore, since the requirement of section 20 of CPC has not been satisfied,
the present suit is liable to be dismissed .

Mr. Kishan Dass Gupta by representing himself to be the
':.~ '.,;:}37 ,; ::.:, _,_.:.·-,'.. {~f partner of the Plaintiff firm has approached the Defendant Company at its
\;:-{~ ~ i Jabad office for sale and supply of chemical (caustic soda and soda)/soda (soda
·- -- ash) ("hereinalter referred to as "the said goods''). Mr. Kishan Dass Gupta always
represented that the head office of the Plaintiff firm is at Gurgaon Haryana. It was
represented by the Plaintiff that they were the most reliable Company for the
supply of superior quality of the said goods in a timely manner.
h) That believing upon the assurances, representations of the Plaintiff, the Defendant
Company since the year 2008 has been telephonically placing the purchase orders
9
for supply of the said goods on dlfferenl·dlfferent dates. In furtherance to the
orders placed by the Defendant, the Plaintiff on different-different occasions has
delivered the said goods from Its Gurgaon orncc to the Defendant's Faridabad
office. It may be noted that upon receipt of the goods, the Invoices raised by the
Plaintiff have been duly acknowledged by the Defendant Company by giving
acknowledgment/ receiving over the same. The payments against the said Invoices
have been duly made to the Plaintiff either by way of cash or through a banking
channel. During this business transactions period, it was found that the goods
supplied by the Plaintiff were not as per the orders, on several occasions the
dispute of mismatching the ledger account entries was raised by the Defendant
subsequently which was mutually settled by the parties.
i) That in the month of March 2019 it was noticed by the Defendant that there are
certain discrepancies in the ledger account maintained by the parties. In its ledger
account, the Plaintiff has miserably debited several tax invoices in the name of the
Defendant Company; the Plaintiff has even failed to acknowledge several payments
made by the Defendant against the supply of the said goods. After noticing the
same the Defendant in the first week of April 2019 approached Mr. Kishan Dass
Gupta at their office situated at Khasra no. 4657/281 Dhanvapur Road, Near
Daultabad Flyover, Gurgaon. Afterwards the account has been settled by the
parties.
.---:::-::::-J) That the parties after settling the entire dispute have also decided to re-start their
; .>~/0. q .}~I~~b~siness transactions with each other w.e.f. April, 2019. It may be noted that after
/ ...- · ·:, . _''-; '\~ling the accounts, the Plaintiff from its Faridabad office started supplying the

\~-~~-9-;i~/;; './2dffferent occasions have been released by the Defendant except a small
.._.:- ... ,

outstanding amount.
k) That in the month of March 2020 the condition of various business sectors started
deteriorating as soon as the Covid-19 Catastrophe hit the entire world with its full
force. Considering the said circumstances, the Govt. of India on 22.03.2020
imposed a nationwide lockdown, due to which everything was closed. After
easement of the lockdown restrictions and functioning of the Defendant Company,
on 26.11.2020 personally assured the Plaintiff (through Whatsapp) that I shall
\0
release the payment of the balance amount In the coming week. Accordingly, the
parties afte1· meeting with each other has seltled the accounts. It is submitted that
as on date no payment Is due to be payable by the Defendant to the Plaintiff. The
amount claimed by the Plaintiff is denied.
I) That now the Defendant was shocked to receive the summons of the present suit,
wherein the Plaintiff without appreciating various assurance and understanding
between the parties went on to file the present suit, which is nothing but a false,
frivolous, concocted and vexatious one. As per the account maintained by the
Defendant no amount (as claimed by the Plaintiff) is due towards the supply of
said goods. The Plaintiff had misappropriated the previously settled amount and
without acknowledging the same has filed the present suit. Therefore, the suit is
not liable to be maintained under Order 37 of CPC, and unconditional leave to
defend is required to be allowed.
5. That the suit is as is framed and filed need be rejected U/0.7 R.11 C.P.C.
6. That the suit being vexations, hence Defendant is entitled to special cost as envisaged
under Section 35A of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
7. It is submitted that the suit of the Plaintiff is based on an incorrect running account
ledger. There are several inherent contradictions in the plaint of the Plaintiff for which
the Defendant is entitled to unconditional leave to defend. It is submitted that it is a
settled proposition of law that a running statement of account does not come within
the preview of order 37 of the C.P .C. The amount claimed by the Plaintiff is not based
