                            JUDGMENT
    

    The plaintiff has filed this suit for recovery of
    amount of Rs. 40,32,669 along with interest at 185 per
    annum at Rs. 21,77,640/- from 26.06.2007 the amount
    became due till the date of filing of the suit, in all Rs.
    62,10,309/-.

    2. The Brief facts as per Plaint are as follows:-

    SPONSORED

    The plaintiff is a registered Partnership Firm
    carrying on the business of distribution of wine and
    liquor in the State of Karnataka, having been converted
    from a proprietary concern with effect from 01.04.2009
    and registered on 03.08.2009. The defendant is a
    company engaged in the manufacture of Indian Made
    4
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and appointed the plaintiff as its
    promoter and marketing agent in Karnataka under a
    letter of appointment dated 18.09.2003. The plaintiff
    accepted the appointment, established the required
    infrastructure, and successfully promoted the
    defendant’s brands, resulting in substantial sales across
    Karnataka. A running account was maintained between
    the parties, and the plaintiff regularly raised debit notes
    towards service charges, sales promotion expenses,
    and reimbursement of expenses, which were verified
    and accepted by the defendant. During the accounting
    years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008, twenty debit notes
    remained unpaid, of which sixteen were countersigned
    by the defendant. Against the total debit notes of
    Rs.1,51,42,263/-, the defendant paid Rs.1,11,09,594/-,
    leaving a balance of Rs.40,32,669/- outstanding as on
    31.08.2007. The defendant also issued TDS certificates
    for earlier assessment years, confirming the accounts
    and liability. The last payment was made on
    26.06.2007. The plaintiff reflected the outstanding
    amount of Rs.40,32,669/- in its income tax returns and
    repeatedly demanded payment. Despite the legal notice
    dated 15.05.2010, the defendant failed to pay the
    5
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    admitted amount and instead issued an untenable reply
    dated 03.06.2010. The defendant is therefore liable to
    pay Rs.40,32,669/- together with interest at 18% from
    26.06.2007. Hence, the plaintiff constrained to file this
    suit.

    3. After service of summons, defendant has appeared
    and filed a written statement stating that, suit is wholly
    false, frivolous and vexatious and is not maintainable in
    law or on facts. The suit has been filed with the
    intention of harassing the Defendant and the suit lacks
    bonafides and the same is liable to be dismissed in
    limine. The Defendant has filed a suit in Suit no.
    2766/2009 against the plaintiff before the Hon’ble High
    Court of Mumbai for recovery of Rs. 10 crores in which
    Writ of summons is served and the plaintiff has entered
    appearance through advocate on or about March 2010.
    Despite the said prior suit pending at the Hon’ble High
    Court, Mumbai the plaintiff has instead of filing a
    counter claim and/or set off in the said suit at Mumbai,
    filed the present suit at Bangalore. To avoid multiplicity
    of proceedings and in order to save valuable time of
    this court, the present suit transferred to Mumbai High
    6
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    Court for joint trial and be treated as counter claim.
    Defendant had engaged M/s Anupama Wine
    Distributors, who is the sister concern of the plaintiff
    firm herein, as its agents, inter-alia, for the purpose of
    sales on behalf of the defendant herein. M/s Anupama
    Wine Distributors was entrusted with the task of
    making arrangements for payment of excise duty and
    co-ordinate the work relating to obtaining stocks from
    the Karnataka State Beverages Corporation Ltd.,
    Bangalore, for being given to the dealers/distributors.
    The said arrangement also envisaged payment of
    service charge to the said M/s Anupama Wine
    Distributors based on the number of liquor cases sold.
    Its sister concern M/s Anupama Wine Distributors are
    represented by the same Managing Partner Mr. K.
    Ananda Rao and other partners of the said firms are Mr.
    Ratan Rao and Mr. Rajendra Rao, sons of Mr. K. Ananda
    Rao.

    3.1. The plaintiff firm and M/s Anupama Wine
    Distributors have been always managed by the said Mr.
    K. Ananda Rao and his other partners. The plaintiff and
    M/s Anupama Wine Distributors have defrauded the
    7
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    defendant. The instances of fraud perpetrated by the
    said two partnership firms and their partners are
    innumerable and these instances were spread over a
    period of 4 to 5 years. The said fraud was discovered in
    month of August 2007 and, for the first time, the
    fraudulent acts and deeds of M/s. Anupama Wine
    Distributors surfaced. The defendant discovered that M/
    s. Anupama Wine Distributors defrauded the defendant
    to the tune of several Crores of Rupees, as was
    reported by the team of the special auditors appointed
    by the defendant company for carrying out special
    investigations in this respect. The defendant craves
    leave to refer to and rely upon the report when
    produced.

    3.2. M/s. Anupama Wine Distributors have filed a
    money recovery suit claiming alleged sum of
    Rs.7,31,10,153/- against the defendant herein in O.S.
    No 8311/2007 which is pending consideration before
    this Hon’ble Court (CCH 28), wherein the defendant has
    filed its written statement and a counter claim for Rs.
    11,93,16,733/- upon the M/s Anupama Wine
    Distributors. After filing of the counter claim in the said
    8
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    suit the Defendant and its executives extensively
    examined the records of the transaction of M/s
    Anupama Wine Distributors and the Anupama
    Distributors had raised their separate invoices for the
    same services and for the same expenses. As per the
    said statement, the defendant has paid a sum of
    Rs.7,72,96,293/- to M/s Anupama Wine Distributors
    and a sum of Rs.3,73,96,908/- to the plaintiff herein on
    the same transactions for which debit notes were raised
    twice with respect to the distribution of the same
    number of cases and service charges were also claimed
    by the plaintiff herein and based upon which the
    plaintiff herein obtained payment of Rs. 3,73,96,308/-
    from the defendant.

    3.3. The defendant has also made an application for
    impleading the plaintiff herein in the said suit and the
    said application is pending consideration therein. In the
    event of the present suit not being transferred to High
    Court, Mumbai, the present suit be ordered to be tried
    with O.S. suit No. 8311/2007 and counter claim therein
    pending before this Court. Some of the debit notes
    referred to and produced by the plaintiff in serial no. 7,
    9
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    8, 9 and 10 of para 9 of the plaint are raised twice
    Anupama Wine Distributors and Anupama Distributors
    for same claim. The plaintiff has made a bogus claim to
    hoodwink the Defendant and mislead this court. The
    suit is fraudulent and made with the dishonest intention
    of making wrongful gains from the plaintiff and causing
    wrongful losses to the Defendant.

    3.4. The transactions between the plaintiff and the
    defendant were of running account which the plaintiff
    has failed and neglected to refer to and/or to produce.
    The claims made by the plaintiff are based on the
    alleged debit notes which form part of the running
    account maintained by the plaintiff and the defendant.
    It is submitted that only a claim of the amount due at
    the foot of such running account is maintainable. As no
    amount at the foot of the running account is alleged to
    be due and payable, the suit is liable to be dismissed.
    The plaintiff’s claim on a few alleged pick and chosen
    debit notes is not maintainable. The claim of the
    plaintiff on the alleged debit notes are all hopelessly
    barred by the law of limitation and on this ground alone
    the above suit is liable to be dismissed.

    9. The plaintiff has claimed an amount as prayed
    for. To substantiate its contention, the plaintiff has
    examined K. Ananda Rao as PW.1 and relied 40
    documents marked as Ex.P.1 to Ex.P.40.

    10. The defendant has taken a contention that, in
    the present plaintiff is a sister concern of the plaintiff in
    Com.O.S.No. 8311/2007 and already claimed recovery
    of Rs. 7,31,10,152/- with interest at 18% per annum.
    However, the defendant has also filed a counter claim
    to recover an amount of Rs. 11,93,16,733/. But the
    plaintiff claiming the recovery of amount by way of
    debit notes which are same debit notes submitted in
    the said suit. Further it is noted that, the claim of the
    defendant is barred by law of limitation as this ground
    alone the suit is liable to be dismissed.

    11. It is also noted point that, the defendant firm
    was not existed on the date of cause of action arose to
    file the suit and there is no cause of action on the date
    of suit. Hence prayed to dismiss the suit.

    12. In support of the contention the defendant has
    examined Shankar Pawar is examined as PW.1 and
    15
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    relied 71 documents marked as Ex. D1 to D.71. Ex. D3
    to Ex.D71 are marked subject to objections raised by
    the plaintiff side and those are the photocopies.

    13. Though the defendant has categorically stated
    about a fraudulent act of the plaintiff. However, the
    defendant has not produced any iota of document to
    show that the Plaintiff has imposed an exorbitant
    interest at 36% per annum as well as fraudulent act.
    Therefore, the documents relied by the defendant
    marked as Ex.P.3 to 71 are photocopies. Therefore,
    the photocopies of the documents are not admissible
    under Section 62 of Indian Evidence Act. It has defined
    the primary evidence and the proof of the documents
    should be proved by primary evidence as required
    under Section 62. The primary evidence means the
    document itself produced for the inspection of the
    court. When the defendant has not produced the
    primary evidence, photocopies are not admissible.
    Section 64 of the Indian Evidence Act speaks about,
    the documents must be proved by primary evidence.
    Therefore, the defendant has not produced to prove his
    contention the primary evidence marked as Ex.D.3 to
    16
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    71. The defendant has not made any effort to construct
    the secondary documents to rely on behalf of
    defendant. Though the Defendant has not stated
    anything about possession of document ExD.3 to
    Ex.D71.

    14. It is noted point that, the plaintiff has raised the
    debit note prior to registration of partnership deed
    marked as Ex. P1. As per the plaint, the cause of action
    arose on various dates on 26.06.2007, 05.07.2007,
    15.04.2007 and also, they submitted the various
    invoices which is barred by law. At the time of cause of
    action arose the plaintiff partnership firm was not
    registered. The service given by the plaintiff not to the
    partnership firm. It is noted point that the partnership
    firm was registered on 01.04.2009.

    15. The plaintiff contention that there is a clause in
    Page No.2, whereas the assets and liabilities of the
    erstwhile proprietary concern stood at 1st day of April
    2009 shall be the assets and liabilities of this
    partnership firm. However, the assets and liabilities are
    to be considered as an agreement. But the cause of
    17
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    action cannot be shift by way of registering the
    partnership firm in the name of entity. Therefore, the
    plaintiff is not having any authority to sue against the
    partnership firm, as there is no cause of action on the
    date of registration of the firm. Pw.1 categorically
    admitted that, Ex.P.18 and 19 are the personal income
    tax returns of PW.1. It is also mentioned that, the
    defendant has filed a suit in O.S.No.2766/2009 against
    the plaintiff before the Bombay High Court for recovery
    of Rs. 10 crores. In the said suit, he has appeared
    through his counsel but not claimed the amount.
    Though he has appeared in March 2010.

    16. PW.2 has admitted that, the plaintiff firm was
    looking after the marketing promotion of the defendant
    firm. He knows the Anupama Wine Distributors have
    filed Com.OS No.8311/2007. Further, he has admitted
    that Ex. P.2, debit note No. 721 and Ex.P26 are raised
    on the same day and mentioning the same quantity of
    product MHW and MHB. The answer was given or
    rendered by Anupama Wine Distributors and plaintiff
    firm are different. However, the debit notes raised by
    the defendant firm are containing all details.

    18

    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    17. In the course of argument the plaintiff has
    submitted that while adjudicating the suit the court
    must consider the equitable accept of the matter.
    Hence, the Advocate for the plaintiff has relied the
    Judgment in (1974) 1 SCC 242 between Nagindas
    Ramdas vs. Dalpatram Ichharam and Others
    ,
    wherein, Hon’ble Supreme Court held in para 10 as
    thus:

    At the stage of the final hearing of the
    appeal, especially after the learned Counsel for
    the appellant had addressed us on merits, we
    do not propose to go into the preliminary
    ground urged by Mr. Parekh. If the decree turns
    out to be without jurisdiction, this equitable
    plea will be of no avail; because equity cannot
    operate to annul a statute. If the decree is
    found to be in conformity with the statute, the
    appeal will fail on that ground, alone, and it will
    be wholly unnecessary to consider the equitable
    aspect of the matter.

    18. In the course of argument the defendant has
    stated that, the ledger was produced by the plaintiff
    and also without the proper relevant document to
    substantiate to prove the document and without books
    19
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    of accounts the said ledger account cannot be taken
    into consideration. IT is also submitted that, the tax
    invoice without the signature of the other side is not
    admissible. Hence, the Advocate for the Defendant has
    relied the Judgments in ILR 1977 KAR 756 between
    B. Siddalingappa vs. M.C. Mohan, wherein Indian
    Law reports held in para 10 and 11 as thus:

    The conclusion of the learned Civil Judge
    was primarily based on the entries in the
    account book and the ledger book of the Vijaya
    Textiles of the plaintiff. It is relevant to state
    that an entry in an account book is an
    admission by the maker thereof in his own
    favour requirements of being kept regularly
    and in the ordinary course of complies
    business. If the account books and the entries
    made therein are of suspicious character, or do
    not inspire confidence in a court of justice, they
    should not be relied upon.

    11. Now, turning to the Day Book or the Ledger
    Book produced by the plaintiff, it strikes to any
    one that they have not been kept regularly and
    in the ordinary course of business. Ext. P-2(a)
    is undoubtedly of a suspicious character for
    more than The entry under one reason. Firstly,
    it has been entered in a different ink; secondly,
    the said entry was written in between the two
    regular lines in a cramped style although it
    could have been written neatly one below the
    20
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    other on the lines clearly drawn on the said
    page. Likewise, Ext. P-1, the Day Book entry
    also shows that the writing therein is also in a
    different ink. All the rest of the entries made
    on that particular day, are in a marked contrast
    with the entry under Ext. P-1(a), besides it is
    at the end of that page. These circumstances,
    in my opinion, detract from the value of the
    entries and no court of law would be justified in
    accepting them.

    In Kurapati Venkata Mallayya and another vs.
    Thondepu Ramaswamy and Company and
    another
    (4), the Supreme Court, while dealing
    with the scope of Section 34 of the Evidence
    Act, observed that the cumulative effect of the
    circumstances like a debit entry at the end of a
    page in an account book, that the description
    of the goods so closely written in a cramped
    style on the same page though it could have
    been written on the next page and the total
    amount debited being written in different ink
    detracted from the value of the entry. It is
    necessary to point out, even where books of
    account have been kept in the regular course
    of business, no person can be charged with the
    liability merely on the basis of entries in such
    books and there has to be further evidence to
    prove the alleged payment.
    In Chandradhar
    Goswami and others vs. Gauhati Bank Ltd.
    , (5)
    while dealing with the scope of Section 34 of
    the Evidence Act, the Supreme Court observed
    at page 1061 thus:

    Section 34 says that such entry alone shall not
    21
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    be sufficient evidence, and so, some
    independent evidence had to be given by the
    bank to show that this sum was advanced.
    What would be the nature of such independent
    evidence would certainly depend upon the facts
    of each case, but there can be no doubt that
    some independent evidence to show that
    advance had been made has to be

    19. In 2020 SCC Online Kar 628 between Arihant
    Enterprises, represented by its Proprietor vs. Anil
    Kumar and Others
    , wherein Hon’ble High Court of
    Karnataka held in para No.8 as thus :

    After considering the ledger statement
    carefully, I am of the opinion that a Ledger by
    itself, could not be a Books of Account. It is
    settled principle of law that when a document is
    to be proved and relied upon in evidence, there
    are three aspects to be considered by the
    Court, viz. (i) the proof of execution of
    document; (ii) proof of contents of document;
    and (iii) the evidentiary value of the document
    as a whole. Section 34 of the Indian Evidence
    Act, 1872 mandates that the Books of Account
    regularly maintained in the course of business
    is required to be looked into and the Ledger, by
    itself, could not be a Books of Account of the
    character contemplated under Section 34 of the
    Act. Even in respect of the Books of Account is
    concerned, Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case
    of CHANDRADHAR GOSWAMI v. THE GAUHATI
    22
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    BANK LTD. reported in AIR 1967 SC 1058 has
    held that “no person can be charged with
    liability merely on the entries in Books of
    account, even where such books of account are
    kept in the regular course of business. There
    has to be further evidence to prove payment of
    the money which may appear in the books of
    account in order that a person may be charged
    with liability thereunder, except where the
    person to be charged accepts the correctness of
    the books of account and does not challenge
    them. The original entries alone under Section
    34
    of the Act would not be sufficient to charge
    any person for liability.” Having considered the
    aforesaid dictum of the Hon’ble Supreme Court
    and the finding recorded by the Trial Court that
    a ledger by itself is not a proof insofar as the
    transaction between the parties and as such,
    the said finding cannot be found fault with
    thereto as the entries relating to the payment
    or not cannot be is sufficient to hold against the
    defendants. The plaintiff herein has failed to
    establish the transaction as stated in Exhibit P4
    by way of producing certain other materials as
    corroborative evidence and therefore, Exhibit
    P4 cannot be treated as conclusive. In view of
    the foregoing discussions, the ledger by itself
    cannot be a proof of transaction and no liability
    be fastened on the basis of an entry in the
    ledger alone unless it is corroborated by some
    other evidence, the finding recorded by the Trial
    Court against the plaintiff is to be founded as a
    reasoned conclusion arrived at by the learned
    Judge of the Trial Court.

    23

    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    20. In MANU/KA/3257/2020 between Sunrise
    Sales Corporation vs. B.S. Kumar
    , wherein, Hon’ble
    High court of Karnataka held in para No. 4 and 6 as
    thus:

    It is seen from the records that the petitioner
    initially filed a suit against one Mr. Raghu by
    showing him as Proprietor for M/s. Mathru
    Builders. However, subsequently, he has
    substituted the said Mr. Raghu with one Mr. B.S.
    Kumar as the owner of M/s. Mathru Builders. To
    prove his case, the petitioner has produced
    certain tax invoices and statement of accounts.
    However, the said tax invoices and the
    statement of accounts are denied by the
    respondent. Nothing is elicited in the cross-
    examination of DW.1. The tax invoices and the
    statement of accounts are the documents of the
    petitioner. There is nothing on record to show
    apart from the allegation made by the petitioner
    and the said tax invoices and the statement of
    accounts that the respondent is due any money
    to the petitioner. The respondent categorically
    denied that he has put his signature on the said
    tax invoices or statement of accounts. The
    petitioner has not been able to prove otherwise.

    Thus, in any way, production of statement of
    accounts and tax invoices does not amount to
    proving his case. Accordingly, the trial Court has
    rightly dismissed the small causes suit
    24
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    21. In the cross examination of PW1 has stated that
    there is no agreement between the defendant and
    plaintiff to recover the amount, the plaintiff cannot say
    exactly a period of service the plaintiff has rendered to
    the defendant as alleged by the plaintiff. The
    transaction was between the period up to 2005-2007.
    The plaintiff has sought the claim amount on the basis
    of sales promotion expenses pertains to the sales
    promotion activities incurred by the plaintiff company
    and reimbursement expenses, which means the
    expenses incurred by the plaintiff company. Though the
    plaintiff has raised the debit notes as referred above.
    From that table, Sl.No. 1 to 14 were already barred by
    law of limitation as the debit note No. 6 was raised on
    05.06.2007 and the plaintiff has filed the suit on
    21.06.2010. Therefore, the Sl.No. 1 to 14 debit notes
    are already barred by law of limitation. The debit No
    Sl.No. 15 to 20 referred in the above are within the law
    of limitation. However, the plaintiff has stated in para
    No. 9 of his pleadings that the defendant has already
    paid Rs. 1,11,09,594/- and only a balance of Rs.
    40,32,669/- including the TDS certificate which referred
    25
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    about the balance. However, the plaintiff has not
    mentioned a details about which amount of debit note
    was not paid by the defendant. Therefore, the claim of
    the Plaintiff for Rs. 40,32,669/- was not sufficiently
    proved. Therefore, looking to the materials and Ex. P.1
    to Ex.P.23, the plaintiff has not proved his case. Hence,
    plaintiff is not entitled for recovery of an amount of Rs.
    40,32,669/-. Accordingly, I answer Issue No. 1 in
    Negative.

    22. Issue No.2 and 3: Since both the issues are
    interlinked with each other, they are taken together for
    discussion, to avoid repetition.

    23. The plaintiff has claimed Rs. 62,10,309/- from
    the defendant, as the defendant was due an amount of
    Rs. 40,32,000/- and the interest of the due amount
    from date of due till filing of the suit is come to Rs.
    21,77,640/-. Therefore, defendant is liable to pay the
    said amount. However, this court has come to
    conclusion that the plaintiff has failed to prove a
    recovery of Rs. 40,32,669/- as the claim of the plaintiff
    is barred by law of limitation as well as there was no
    26
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    cause of action. Therefore, this court answer Issue No.1
    in negative. Accordingly, the question of payment of
    interest at 21,77,640/-is not arose. Hence, I answer
    Issue No. 2 and 3 are the Negative.

    24. Issue No.4:- The defendant has taken a
    contention that, the plaintiff and Anupama Wine
    Distributors had a sister concern have raised separate
    invoices for the same services and for the same
    expenses. However, this defendant partnership firm was
    registered in the year 2009, but the Anupama Wine
    Distributors was in the proprietorship concern,
    registered prior to the plaintiff. As per Ex. D1, the
    plaintiff has filed another suit in com.O.S.No.
    8311/2007. So except the order sheet in com.O.S.No.
    8311/2007 the defendant has not produced any other
    documents to establish that both are sister concern.
    But when the 2 firms are registered, it is the duty of
    the Defendant to establish that the, business of two
    establishments are one and the same, and the plaintiff
    has raised the debit notes and invoices for the same
    works. Though there is no proper documents to
    establish that the plaintiff is sister concern of Anupama
    27
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    Wine Distributor. Therefore, I answer Issue No. 4 in
    Negative.

    25. Issue No. 5 and 7:- Since both the issues are
    interlinked with each other, they are taken together for
    discussion, to avoid repetition.

    26. The defendant has taken a contention that suit
    of the plaintiff is barred by law of limitation. Though the
    plaintiff has claimed the amount on the basis of invoice
    raised, and the said invoice was referred in Issue No.1.
    The 20 invoices was raised by the plaintiff and out of
    that, the 14 invoices were barred by law of limitation as
    the plaintiff was filed the suit on 20th June 2007. So, the
    plaintiff has to claim his relief as per Article 14 of
    Limitation Act within three years. Further, invoice Sl.No.
    15 to 20 are claimed. However, the plaintiff has stated
    that the defendant has paid an amount of Rs.
    1,11,09,594/-, and the balance was only an amount of
    Rs. 40,32,669/-. Therefore, the plaintiff has not
    explained the account maintained by the plaintiff is a
    running account, and defendant has due for the debit
    28
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    note amount of containing Sl.No. 15 to 20. So without
    the proper contentions, the plaintiff has failed to file
    suit within law of limitation In the plaint also the
    plaintiff has mentioned the cause of action arose on
    6/6/2007. Therefore, the suit filed on 21/6/2010.
    Therefore, without proper explanation the claim of the
    plaintiff is not maintained. Hence the suit of the plaintiff
    is bar by limitation.

    27. At the time of filing the suit, the defendant firm
    was not registered and even their transactions was held
    by the plaintiff with the partners of the defendant firm.
    The defendant firm was registered on 1/4/2009 as per
    Ex. P1 and the transactions/the claim of the plaintiff on
    the basis of debit notes has Sl.No. 1 to 20 were the
    defendant was not in existence. The partners of the
    defendant were they had a business transactions with
    the plaintiff. However, the plaintiff has made the
    defendant as a party and claimed a relief and a suffer
    not with the partners.

    28. The Defendant has taken a contention that, the
    plaintiff has not proper contention in the pleadings for
    29
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    recovery of the claim amount and due debit notes
    amount was not clearly pleaded. Therefore, the
    defendant has relied the Judgment in Sri. Mallappa
    and others vs. Sri. Mallappa
    in R.S.A. No.
    725/2025 before the Hon’ble High court of Karnataka
    vide Judgment dated 07.09.2017, wherein held in para
    No.7 as thus:

    Secondly, it has to be stated that if the
    plaintiff introduces Ex.Pl at the time of trial, it
    cannot be looked into for any purpose. Any
    amount of evidence, without pleading has no
    value and for this reason, the entire oral
    evidence adduced by the plaintiff including
    himself and two other witnesses looses its
    importance. The plaintiff has produced certain
    revenue documents to show that the entries in
    the revenue records were made on the basis of
    Ex. P1. But, the revenueе records do not
    establish the title. Moreover, Ex.P1 is a
    partition deed. It has not been registered. It is
    not the case of the plaintiff that there took
    place an oral partition. He introduces Ex.P1
    which is a partition deed and when it is found
    that it is an unregistered instrument, it cannot
    be acted upon. Section 17 of the Indian
    Registration Act, is a bar. Therefore, viewed
    from any angle, the title of the plaintiff on the
    basis of Ex.P1 cannot be declared. I find that
    the First Appellate Court has discussed the
    evidence properly to come to a right
    30
    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    conclusion. In the result, the appeal fails and it
    is dismissed.

    29. Looking to the pleadings and documents along
    with oral evidence, the plaintiff has not proved his case.
    Therefore, the cause of action arose to file a suit on
    6/6/2007 was barred by law of limitation as well as
    there is no cause of action against partnership firm as
    defendant. Hence, I answer Issue No. 5 and 7 are
    Negative.

    30. Issue No. 6: The plaintiff has claimed a recovery
    of Rs. 62,10,309/- with interest at 18% per annum.
    However, the plaintiff has paid the Court fee at Rs.
    2,25,900/- by through DD. Accordingly, the suit of the
    plaintiff is money recovery as per article total value as
    per Schedule-1. As per Schedule-1 (XIV), plaintiff is
    liable to pay an amount as per the calculation
    225280/-. However, the plaintiff has paid a court fee of
    rupees 2,25,900/-. Therefore, the plaintiff has paid the
    sufficient court fee. Hence, I answer Issue 6 in
    Negative.

    31

    COM.O.S.4232/2010

    31. Issue No.8 :- Therefore, I proceed to pass the
    following.

    ORDER
    The suit of the plaintiff is hereby
    dismissed with cost.

    Draw Decree accordingly.

    The Office is directed to send copy of
    this Judgment to Plaintiff and Defendant
    to their email ID as required under
    Order XX Rule 1 of the Civil Procedure
    Code as amended under Section 16 of
    the Commercial Courts Act.
