THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA SECOND APPEAL No.1239 of 2008 ORAL JUDGMENT: Heard both sides. This Second Appeal is directed against the judgment and decree, dated 23.07.2008, passed by the Senior Civil Judge, Avanigadda in A.S.No.5 of 2006, wherein and whereby the judgment and decree, dated 30.11.2005, passed by the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Avanigadda, in O.S.No.299 of 2003 was confirmed. The said suit was filed for recovery of a sum of Rs.71,500/-. The appellant is the defendant and the respondent is the plaintiff in the said suit. The only question that is urged before this Court, in this Second Appeal, is that the said suit was instituted basing on a receipt, which was unstamped and hence, the suit itself was not maintainable. It is settled principle of law that a receipt, which is in the nature of acknowledgment need not necessarily be stamped. Both the Courts below have considered this aspect in detail and expressed the view in favour of the plaintiff. I see no further question of law much less substantial, in this Second Appeal and accordingly, the appeal is liable to be dismissed. In the result, the Second Appeal is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 16th July, 2010 dr
