HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY SECOND APPEAL No.640 of 2010 DT.06.08.2010 K.Arjuna Rao …Petitioner V. M/s.Universal Cold Storage Ltd., rep. By its Branch Manager. … Respondent The Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY SECOND APPEAL No.640 of 2010 ORDER:- Both the courts below concurrently repelled the contention of the defendant that a single suit cannot be maintained by the three plaintiff’s sister concern businesses, represented by a common Branch Manager at Amalapuram and decreed the suit. Learned counsel for the appellant contends that the only substantial question of law that arises for consideration in this second appeal is, whether a single suit by a common Branch Manager can be maintainable to recover the amounts due under different transactions of three different plaintiffs. It is not disputed that all the companies are three individual and separate companies, having separate businesses and separate accounts. Though they are sister companies, they opened khata with the plaintiffs through common Branch Manager at Amalapuram to do business dealings, which were recorded separately. Since the evidence is common, all the three plaintiffs filed common suit by separately paying the court fee with separate pleadings for separate amounts and further Ex.A3, dated 17.04.1996 was executed by the defendant agreeing to repay the balance of Rs.1,23,000/- with interest to all the three plaintiffs for the three businesses, no substantial question of law arises for consideration in this second appeal. The Second Appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J 6th August 2010 lmv
