JUDGEMENT

Amit Rawal, J. - (1.) This order of mine shall dispose of two appeals one bearing RSA No.1359 of 2012 titled as "M/s Fine Fabrics through its Proprietor Amit Gaur and another v. Meenakshi Saxena and another" , whereby the Civil Suit bearing No.357 of 2008 titled as "M/s Fine Fabrics through its Proprietor Amit Gaur and another v. M/s M.S. Creations through its Proprietors Meenakshi Saxena and another" (hereinafter called 'second suit') seeking recovery of Rs. 5,01,264/- has been decreed by the trial Court, but the lower Appellate Court has reversed the same, whereas the other appeal bearing RSA No.4588 of 2012 titled as "Meenakshi Saxena and another v. M/s Fine Fabrics through its proprietor Amit Gaur and another" whereby the Civil Suit bearing No.355 of 2005 titled as "Mrs. Meenakshi Saxena and another v. M/s Fine Fabrics through its proprietor Amit Gaur" (hereinafter called 'first suit') seeking recovery of Rs. 15,00,000/-, has been dismissed by both the Courts below.
(2.) Mr. Mahavir Sandhu, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant(s) in RSA-1359-2012 and for the respondent(s) in RSA-4588- 2012, submits that the suit for recovery was based upon the documentary evidence i.e. Ex.P-1 to Ex.P-11 i.e. Bill Nos.51 to 57 upto 31.10.2002, whereby the aforementioned amount was outstanding, much less, payable by the defendant(s) in respect of the goods supplied. The trial Court on the preponderance of the evidence decreed the suit, but the lower Appellate Court non-suited the appellant(s) on the ground that author of the Bill was not examined, much less, the statement of accounts did not come on record. Umpteen number of documentary evidence has been placed on record to establish the case which has escaped the notice of the lower Appellate Court, thus, there is gross illegality and perversity.
(3.) Mr. Rajesh Narang, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the for the respondent(s) in RSA-1359-2012 and for the appellant(s) in RSA- 4588-2012, submits that along with the appeal, one application bearing CM- 14451-C-2016 under Order 41, Rule 27 read with Section 65 CPC seeking leave of this Court to place on record the copy of the original Bills (Ex.P-7) to prove the outstanding amount as before the Courts below, only the photocopies of the Bills were placed on record. No leave of the Court below for placing on record was sought. In case an opportunity is granted, the respondent(s) shall be able to prove his case, failing which, a serious prejudice would be caused.;
