Hi, Our former tenant sent a court notice saying that I have borrowed money from him in the year 2006 and disappeared. He is a government servent and a local petty financier.
His lawyers notice says:
a. He paid me 90,000 in March 2006 after which I changed residence (he had bought his own house two years earrlier) to a near by area
Actual: I sold residence in the year 2004 Dec and vacated in Feb 2005. I have docs proving the sale of residence.
b. Unable to trace me for 6 years after I shifted from the near by area to my native place
Actual: He sent me a letter in the year 2006 which I have in possession along with the envelope addressed to the same residence I live now
c. He claims 90,000+12% per annum
Actual: His earlier letter to my dad was I promised to pay him 1,10,750 in Nov 2005 (contradiction of first payment, year, money etc.,). The letter is in my possession. I did not respond to that letter at all as it simply meant nothing to me as I did not have any kind of transaction any time in the past.
I never had any kind of cash or cheque transactions with him. No evidence, unless it is a forged doc, can be provided. My dad got around 35k as loan from him in 2004 and settled the same after selling the house. The transactions were done in cash.
What should I do when the court notice arrives? Is it possible to dislodge the plaintiff appeal in the first hearing itself?
Pls., advice how to go about it.
