Amount paid towards speculation transactions claimed as loan
One of my client who paid amount by cheque(all in round figure) at regular intervals to me(share broking company)in his running account for doing share market trading business with us. later on, he sued us that he had given all those amount to our company as loan/deposit on interest and refused to accept that he had done speculation transaction with us. he had done delivery transaction also with us.As per our accounting systems of that time, we maintain client trading account and delivery account separately . all cheque were credited by us in delivery account and trading account balances were also transferred by journal vouchers in delivery account.total business was for only 5-6 month.we have client registration form duly filled and signed by client.unfortunately, we did not have acknowledged copy of contract notes .
client never complained to SEBI/BSE/NSE/CLB/, never done any correspondence with us.he sued us first and last directly.
now pl guide us what should we do? is there any similar case in history? any judgement>

our company is neither a banking nor a nbfc company. it is a sebi registered bse/nse/ listed company who deals in retail broking business.
you can provide me some other type of judgement where amount paid for purchasing some goods by cheque but later on claimed as loan/deposit given to seller. Similarly, it can also happen in a university where a student filled up admission form , paid college fees by cheque and later on if he fails in result, he claimed that he had paid amount on interest to college.same in case of hospital when patient filled admission form , paid amount by cheque for surgery and later on in case of operation fails, he claims that he had given amount to hospital on interest . so you can provide me hospital/college/share brokers cases and their judgement.
can we give a application to court that the matter should be lodged in arbitration only ?

at present , the case is in district court in jodhpur for a long time.if court gives decision against us, should we go to high court or in arbitration.
Asked 8 years ago
since in court, judges are normally not familiar with share market activities and rules and regulation of exchanges , neither they have a team of chartered accountants etc who can have a deep checking of brokers records.so can you guide me a strong plea on that basis that this court is not competent to hear this case
Asked 8 years ago
Kindly provide some similar case and judgement thereof
we have raised our objection in our written statement that court has no jurisdiction and that should be heared only
in arbitration, but court allowed it and today it is in final stage (argument). should we argue till today about jurisdiction and what should we do if court does not hear us
