Classic Infoways takes Deep Infotech to court

GURGAON, INDIA: Arecent fraud case involving Classic Infoways and Deep Infotech has cropped up in Gurgaon.

The latter had sanctioned a cheque of Rs 30,000 against material purchased from Classic Infoways in Dec 2008, which later bounced. Following the incident Classic Infoways filed a court case against Deep Infotech.

In Dec, Classic had sold about 10 computers to Deep Infotech. The company issued three cheques to Classic. While the first two cheques were realized, the third cheque of Rs 30,000 bounced. When Chitresh Adlakha, Proprietor, Classic Infoways contacted Deep Infotech’s office he was informed that there were no pending payments at Deep’s end.

Speaking about the incident, Adlakha informed, “We had a stock of old computers that we had purchased from a Gurgaon-based call center when the company was closing its operations. We sold the stock to Deep Infotech in December following which they issued us three cheques. The cheques, worth Rs 24,300, Rs 15,000 and Rs 30,000, were dated Dec 20, 22 and 25. The third cheque worth Rs 30,000 bounced.”

He further added that he tried to approach Deep Infotech a number of times but the company refused to acknowledge the payments. “Tyagi, the proprietor of Deep Infotech has refused to make any payments and hence we have now filed a case against them in the local court in Gurgaon. We are not the only dealers who have been duped by Deep. Another company by the name of Binary Business Systems based in Gurgaon also has a huge amount to be recovered from Deep Infotech,” pointed Adlakha.

When contacted Tyagi denied the charges while stating that all the payments in the above transactions had been cleared by them.

“We do not have any payments pending with Classic Infoways. On the contrary, Adlakha has received a sum of Rs 80,000 in excess from us that he needs to return to us,” stated Tyagi. He further added that Adlakha had not even provided them with proper bills for the above transaction.
