(1.) THIS appeal is directed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge of this Court made in C. S. No. 623 of 1998.
(2.) THE case of the respondent/plaintiff, as could be seen from the plaint averments, is as follows:
(3.) THE suit was resisted by the defendants by filing a written statement stating that the present suit cannot be proceeded unless the suit filed by the defendants in Mumbai High Court in No. 3476 of 1998 is heard; that the plaintiff failed to take delivery of 1500 cases from 3. 1. 1998; that till date, he has taken only 425 cases; that apart from that, the plaintiff failed to honour invoices numbering four; that further, he has defaulted in payment of the cost of each installment of supply before taking delivery of the next; that the plaintiff by a letter to his banker caused to dishonour the bills relating to the above invoices unilaterally; that because of the non-clearance of the bills, the defendants did not make further supplies; that the suit is nothing but a counter blast to the suit filed by the defendants in Mumbai, and hence the suit was to be dismissed.
