The suit is filed to recover the amounts in respect of the goods sold and delivered by the plaintiffs to the defendants on the terms and conditions contained in the invoices. The plaintiffs by their letters dated 2.10.2009, 9.11.2009 and 31.12.2009 demanded payment. 2. There was no reply to the first two notices. By a letter dated 18.1.2010, the defendants contended that the goods supplied were defective and had therefore returned the same. It is also argued before me that the defendants had adjusted the amounts due against the defective supplies earlier made by the plaintiffs. 2 sj162-11 3.
