Reading: A client paid ₹2.5 lakhs towards a ₹6 lakh outstanding bill on May 29th, after receiving a notice on May 17th. The payment was credited to the outstanding balance, but the doctor ignored the notice and didn’t make the remaining payment. The client filed a case, but the doctor challenged it in the High Court. Can the High Court dismiss the case?

Yes, the High Court can dismiss the case. Under Indian law, the client’s partial payment without any specific agreement constitutes implied acceptance of the debt. This may lead to a waiver of the client’s right to challenge the outstanding amount, making the case likely to be dismissed.
