Plaintiffs V/s M/s Professional Audio & Video Studio & Anr. .. Defendants Mr. Prakash P. Parkar for the plaintiffs. None for the defendants. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 6TH JULY 2009 P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the plaintiffs. None present for the defendants. 2. The plaintiffs have filed this suit for recovery of the amount due. Despite service of writ of summons, the defendants have not filed appearance. The plaintiffs have filed on record the original documents. 3. The case of the plaintiffs in short is that the plaintiffs carry on business of hotel booking, international and domestic ticketing and a tours and travels agent. The defendant no.2 is the proprietor of the defendant no.1 concern. The defendants requested the plaintiffs to purchase air tickets for their 2 employees/associates. The plaintiffs purchased the tickets and sent the bills to the defendants. The defendants issued a cheque of Rs.1,12,608/- towards payment of the bills. The cheque was returned unpaid when presented for payment through the clearing house. The plaintiffs have therefore filed the suit for recovery of the amount due. 4. The plaintiffs have filed office copies of the bills and a photocopy of the certificate of registration of the plaintiff firm on record. The plaintiffs have also produced the original cheques. They have also filed the affidavit by way of evidence. The plaintiffs have stated on oath that the plaintiffs booked air tickets for the defendants and sent bills to the defendants, but the defendants did not make payment. The defendants have not filed appearance and are also absent when called. The evidence of the plaintiffs has gone unchallenged. I see no reason to disbelieve the case of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are therefore entitled to a decree on a negotiable instrument which has been dishonoured and the interest thereon. 5. In the circumstances, the suit of the plaintiffs is decreed in terms of prayer clause (a). (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
