SUBJECT: Reply to legal notice dated 1 April 2026, Re: Demand for refund of advance paid under agreement dated 4 March 2026
Dear Sir / Madam,
1.1 This is a reply to the legal notice dated 1 April 2026 (Re: Demand for refund of advance paid under agreement dated 4 March 2026) received from Ramesh Kumar ("the Notice"), which in substance alleged and demanded: That the Replying Party failed to supply and install a modular kitchen within eight weeks under an agreement dated 4 March 2026, and demanded refund of an advance of Rs 1,50,000 with interest within 15 days.
2.1 The claims and allegations made in the Notice are denied in their entirety, for the reasons stated below.
2.2 The delay was caused by the Sender's own repeated changes to the design after 10 March 2026, each communicated in writing and each extending the schedule with the Sender's knowledge. Material was ready for installation from 2 May 2026; the Sender has since been unreachable to schedule it.
2.3 Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Replying Party states that the Replying Party will complete installation within 14 days of the Sender confirming a mutually convenient date, failing which the advance of Rs 1,50,000 will be refunded within a further 7 days.
2.4 The Replying Party further states, without prejudice to and without waiving anything stated above, that the Replying Party has incurred storage and re-scheduling costs of approximately Rs 22,000 on account of the Sender's changes and unavailability, which the Replying Party reserves the right to claim.
3.1 This reply is sent without prejudice to, and with express reservation of, all rights, remedies and contentions available to the Replying Party, whether or not stated in this reply, all of which are expressly reserved.
3.2 Nothing in this reply, and no fact stated in it, is to be treated as an admission of any allegation, claim or figure made in the Notice, except to the extent expressly admitted in paragraph 2 above.
4.1 This reply is in writing and is signed by or on behalf of the Replying Party. It is served by registered post with acknowledgement due.
4.2 A notice properly addressed, pre-paid and posted is presumed to have been served in the ordinary course of post: Section 27 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, read with the presumption that official acts have been regularly performed, now Section 119(f) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023.
