                    Judgment in a summary suit


      The plaintiff firm filed this summary suit under Order

XXXVII Rule 2 read with Section 26 of CPC and read with

Section 6 of the Commercial Courts Act, seeking a judgment

and decree to direct the defendants jointly and severally to

pay a sum of Rs.13,84,206/- (Rupees Thirteen Lakh Eighty

Four Thousand Two Hundred and Six Only) along with

interest at the rate of 1% per day from the date of legal notice

till realization.


      2. The plaintiff's case in a nutshell is that, the plaintiff

is a licensed trader of proprietary concern involved in the

business of wholesale and retail of groceries. The defendant

was a business entity operating a restaurant and in the usual

course of its business, the partners of the defendant business

entity had approached plaintiff with a request to supply large

quantity of goods on credit basis. Having accepted the orders

placed by the defendants the plaintiff had delivered the goods

to the defendants by maintaining its running account and

raised invoices for the goods supplied.       Out of the goods

supplied by the plaintiff to the defendants, the defendants

were in due of Rs.9,05,900/-. On several requests and
                               4
                                           Com.O.S.No.1560/2025


demands made by the plaintiff, the defendants issued a

cheque bearing No.650803, dated 21.03.2025 for Rs.62,630/-

in favour of the plaintiff. The said cheque was dishonored by

its banker with an endorsement "Instrument outdated/stale".

The plaintiff being a GST-registered entity, it had duly

uploaded all outward supplies on the GST portal through

GSTR-1, as mandated under law. The invoices raised by the

plaintiff were reflected on the GST dashboard of the

defendants,      which was neither disputed nor rejected the

same till date. The defendants have availed input tax credit

(ITC) in respect of the said invoices. The plaintiff issued legal

notice dated 23.06.2025 calling upon the defendants to clear

the outstanding dues along with interest at the rate of 18%

p.a. for that the defendants neither replied nor complied. The

defendants were liable to pay the principal balance amount of

Rs.9,05,900/- and accrued interest thereon of Rs.5,37,324/-

and a total sum of Rs.14,43,224/-.         But after issuance of

legal   notice   the   defendants   have    cleared   a   sum   of

Rs.59,018/- to the account of the plaintiff.      Therefore, the

plaintiff had computes the suit amount to Rs.13,84,206/-.

The plaintiff also initiated proceedings under Section 12A of
                                  5
                                              Com.O.S.No.1560/2025


the     Commercial    Courts      Act,    before   DLSA      in   PIM

No.1523/2025. The defendants did not participate in the

proceedings     and DLSA issued Non Starter Report on

22.08.2025. Hence, this suit.


        3. Having admitted the summary suit, summons were

issued to the defendant in Appendix-B, Form No.4, through

registered post.     The summons were duly served.                The

defendants, however, did not appear before this court and not

filed any application seeking leave to defend.


        4. The court has heard learned counsel for the plaintiff.

Perused the material placed on record.


        5.    The    following       points    arise   for    court's

consideration:

                             POINTS

      (1) Whether the plaintiff entitled for the monetary
          reliefs as sought for and the reliefs can be
          granted summarily?

      (2) What order or decree?


        6. My answers to the above points are as under:

              Point No.1 : Partly in the affirmative,
              Point No.2 : As per the final order
                            for the following;
                               6
                                       Com.O.S.No.1560/2025


                         REASONS
Point No.1:-

     7.     A summary suit is maintainable under Order

XXXVII Rule 1(2) with respect to the suits in which the

plaintiff seeks only to recover a debt or liquidated demand in

money payable by the defendant with or without interest

raising on a contract.    In the present case, upon purchase

orders placed by the defendants the plaintiff has supplied

materials to the defendants on credit basis and raised

invoices. Since, the components offer - acceptance and -

consideration have been made out the same would amount to

a valid contract enforceable under law. Document No.1 is the

GST Registration Certificate, Document No.3 is the Udyam

Registration Certificate to ensure that the plaintiff is a

commercial establishment. Document No.4 is the license

certificate issued by the Secretary, Karnataka Agricultural

Produce Marketing.       Document No.5 is the official GST

registration certificate of the defendants business entity.

Document No.6 are the E-way bills mentioning GST numbers

of both the parties.     Document No.7 is the ledger account

statement of the defendant maintained by the plaintiff.

Document No.8 is the cheque and cheque return memo.
                                  7
                                           Com.O.S.No.1560/2025


Document No.9 is the GST portal where the plaintiff have

raised the invoices on the defendants. Document No.10 to 13

are legal notice, postal receipts, postal acknowledgment

online track consignment reports. Document No.14 is PIM

Repot.

      8. Document No.6 are the invoices and E-way bills

raised   by   the   plaintiff,   wherein   the   defendants   have

acknowledged the receipt of the goods by affixing the seal and

signature.     Thus, it is clear that the defendants have

confirmed the liability of the goods received under the said

invoices.     The defendants have not filed an application

seeking leave to defend. The plaintiff verified the plaint with

a statement of truth and also produced the documents in

support of the facts pleaded in the plaint.            Since the

transaction between the plaintiff and the defendants was

commercial one it may be appropriate to grant interest at the

rate of 18% p.a. which is equivalent to 3 times to the banks

lending rates. The plaintiff has sought for interest at the rate

of 1% per day from the date of legal notice which is

apparently exorbitant and therefore, the same is liable to be

rejected.

                                            Com.O.S.No.1560/2025


 Point No.2:

      9. In view of the findings on aforesaid points, I proceed

to pass the following:


                              ORDER

The suit is hereby decreed with cost.

The defendants jointly and severally do pay to the plaintiff a sum of Rs.13,84,206/- (Rupees Thirteen Lakh Eighty Four Thousand Two Hundred and Six Only) along with interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the date of legal notice till realization.

Draw decree accordingly.

The office is hereby directed to send a soft copy of this judgment to the parties to the proceedings to their respective e-mail IDs as required under Order XX Rule 1 of CPC and as amended under section 16 of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015.
