| Decision |
The appeal was allowed, and the suit filed by the plaintiff for a sum of Rs. 51,155.12 was decreed with interest at the rate of 6% from the date of decree until realization. The parties were left to bear their own costs. The court found in favor of the plaintiff regarding the liability for the price of goods supplied, as the defendants failed to provide evidence that the amounts due had been paid. The judge noted the absence of any objections from the defendants regarding the demand for payment, which further supported the plaintiff's claim. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a dispute between Castrol Ltd. and Karachi Tyre & Rubber Company regarding unpaid invoices for lubricants supplied by Castrol. The Sindh High Court examined the claims of both parties, focusing on the outstanding amount of Rs. 51,155.12, which Castrol claimed was due for goods supplied. The defendants contested the claims, arguing they were entitled to discounts and rebates. However, the court found that the defendants failed to substantiate their claims and did not adequately challenge the invoices presented by Castrol. The judgment emphasized the importance of maintaining proper records and providing evidence in disputes over financial transactions. The decision ultimately favored Castrol, allowing the appeal and decreeing the suit for the claimed amount with interest. Key terms include liability, contracts, goods supplied, and financial disputes, all of which are critical in commercial law cases. |
