JUDGMENT
The suit is filed for recovery of a sum of Rs.24,46,299/-. The plaintiff is the manufacturer of toys and games. In pursuant to the business transaction concluded between the plaintiff and the defendant, goods were supplied by the plaintiff for a sum of Rs.24,46,499/- to the defendant as evidenced by Exs.P1 to P4. Despite the supply made, the corresponding money was not forthcoming and therefore, the plaintiff has come forward to file a present suit after issuance of legal notice, which was returned as "refused".
2. The defendant was set ex-parte on 07.10.2016. Thereafter, the plaintiff examined himself as P.W.1 and marked the documents Exs.P1 to P4.
3. On a perusal of the documents filed including the invoices raised by the plaintiff coupled with the fact that the legal notice dated 21.10.2013 sent by the plaintiff was returned as "refused", which is deemed to be a proper service, this Court is satisfied that the suit has to be
decreed as prayed for. Accordingly, the suit stands decreed as prayed for. No costs.
