AFFIDAVIT
I, _______________ Son of _______________ aged _________ years, Resident of _________________________, do solemnly affirm and say as follows:
1. The I am the Accounts Manager and authorised signatory of the petitioner in the application and the plaintiff in the suit referred to above. The deponent is fully conversant with the facts and circumstances of the case and stands competent to swear to this affidavit on behalf of the petitioner. The deponent will be referred to as the petitioner hereinafter.
2. The suit is filed for recovery of an amount of Rs______ with future interest from the counter-petitioner who owes the money to the petitioner. The amount is due against sale of Generator sets made to the Defendant and the cheque issued by him, which was returned with reason of not having sufficient fund in the Accounts. Copy of cheque issued by the Defendant in favour of the petitioner, is produced alongwith the plaint as Ex-1.
3. Inspite of repeated requests made by the petitioner, the Defendant did not care to effect payment or settle the account, which necessitated the filing of the suit.
4. Before filing the suit, the petitioner had sent a legal notice to the Defendant through its lawyer Mr ______________ and reply containing false and frivolous contentions was sent by the Defendant, without remitting the amount. At the same time, he started taking steps for disposing of the stock of Computers in his business premises at the address given above with a view to siphoning off the sale proceeds into his private and concealed coffers for screening it from creditors like the petitioner. His attempt is to remove those goods, dispose of the same and then start a business in the name of his son thereby effectively defeating a creditor like the petitioner. The petitioner has come to know of the said threatened plans of the counter-petitioner yesterday when he made discrete enquiries through his agent, from dependable sources.
