1. I, Mr Anupam Sareen was approached by Mr. Anil Kanodia, who is the Director of the company by the name of M/s. Sumridhi Aluminium Pvt Ltd.(herein after referred to as SAPL) in the month of January 2013 with a view of getting Domestic Sales Factoring Limits from a Non-Banking Finance Company.
3. I verbally agreed to assist the company in the said process for a fee of Rs.1,20,000/- plus Service Tax. In view of the said fact, I started consolidating the information and assisting SAPL to organize documentation for verification and compliance from a non-banking financial companies. The first of such NBFC was IFCI Factors Ltd.
5. That thereafter I along with Mr Anil Kanodia approached IFCI, IFCI showed keen interest in the said SAPL organization. It is submitted that on 20.03.2013, an offer letter was sent by IFCI Factors Ltd. to SAPL with a copy marked to me. The said offer was to the requirement of SAPL and in view of the same in June 2013, a cheque of Rs. 25,000/- was sent to IFCI factors Ltd by SAPL as their acceptance.
7. That, thereafter various mails were exchanged between myself, Anil Kanodia, other employees of SAPL as well as IFCI. That in furtherance of the said emails various documents were made, verified and many compliances were done, for getting the relevant approvals for getting the Domestic Sales Factoring Limits.
8. All the work was approved and done with my assistance. On 11.09.2013 a letter was issued to SAPL by IFCI sanctioning a Limit of Rs. 3 cr. , the same was accepted by SAPL in October 2013 and in the sanctioned limit was first used on 19.12.2013.
9. After spending about 120 hours approximately on verifying the documents, meeting various officials from the SAPL organization including but not limited to Mr Anil Kanodia, explaining the relevant documenting and other processes, I raised an invoice dated 15 December 2013 for Rs.1,34,832/-. It is pertinent to state here that the said amount of the invoice was only reached after many conversations with Mr Anil Kanodia, about the amount which is due and payable by the company SAPL.
10. Mr Anil Kanodia repeatedly made affirmations of paying the said amount, after the Domestic Sales Factoring Limits was approved by IFCI. It is further submitted that in view of these false, misleading and fraudulent statements made by Anil Kanodia , I was lured into finishing the work and getting the relevant approvals including funding from IFCI.
12. That now Mr Anil Kanodia is not honoring his commitment and has not paid the fee and has stopped taking calls.
