JUDGMENT
The suit is instituted for recovery of amount of Rs.
67,219.72ps. along with interest on the amount of Rs. 60,000/– at the
rate of 18% per annum from the date of institution of the suit till
realisation of the total decreetal amount.
2. It is the case of plaintiff that he is authorised moneylender.
Defendant executed a demand promissory note in favour of plaintiff on
02/05/2019 and borrowed the amount of Rs. 60,000/– from the
plaintiff. Defendant agreed to pay interest at the rate of 18% per
annum on demand. Plaintiff demanded the principal amount and
interest thereon from time to time to defendant but defendant failed to
pay the same. Hence plaintiff through his advocate issued a letter to
defendant demanding the amount on 25/09/2019. Defendant received
the same but did not pay the amount to plaintiff. Hence, plaintiff was
constrained to institute the present suit.
3. It is the case of plaintiff that is on the date of institution of
the suit amount of Rs. 67,219.72ps. was due to him from the defendant
along with interest on the amount of Rs. 60,000 from the date of
institution of the suit till realisation of the total decreetal amount.
4. The summons of the suit was duly served upon the
defendant in person on 24/03/2021. However, defendant failed to
appear before the court. Hence suit proceeded ex parte against the
defendant. Service affidavit is filed at Exhibit 5.
5. Considering the plaint, documents on record and claim
affidavit filed by plaintiff, following points arise for my determination
and my findings to them are as stated below for the following reasons.

3 What Order and decree ? As per Final Order
R E A S O N S
AS TO POINT NOS.1 and 2:
6. The plaintiff has filed a claim affidavit at Exhibit6. The
plaintiff has filed original demand promissory note executed by the
defendants on 02/05/2019 at Exhibit8. It is duly stamped and signed
by the defendant. It shows that amount of Rs. 60,000/ was advanced
by plaintiff to defendant and defendant agreed to pay interest at the
rate of 18% per annum on the said amount. Plaintiff has filed on record
a letter issued by his advocate to the defendant demanding the amount
at Exhibit9 . It appears that the notice was served in person upon the
defendant and he agreed to repay the entire amount by 15.12.2019. It
-- 3 of 6 --

appears that the notice issued by post was not served upon the
defendant. The plaintiff has produced a copy of his moneylending
license at Exhibit10 . The plaintiff has produced a copy of Form No. 8
produced at Exhibit11. Lastly plaintiff has produced extract of his
ledger at Exhibit12 , which shows that on 02/05/2019, amount of Rs.
60,000/ was paid to the defendant with interest at the rate of 18% per
annum. All the above documents produced on record by the plaintiff
are supported by his claim affidavit.
7. The defendant, though duly served with the summons of
the suit, failed to appear before the court and contest the claim of
plaintiff. Therefore, the oral and documentary evidence produced by
plaintiff on record has gone unchallenged and the court has to rely
upon the same as there is no otherwise illegality in the claim of the
plaintiff.
8. In view of all above discussion, I have come to the
conclusion that the plaintiff has proved that the defendant borrowed
loan of Rs. 60,000/ from the plaintiff and executed a demand
promissory note in his favour. Plaintiff has further proved that the
defendant failed to pay the amount of Rs. 60,000/ along with interest
thereon on demand by the plaintiff. Therefore, claim of plaintiff is
bound to be allowed. Interest 18% per annum is the agreed rate of
interest and therefore there is no reason to change the same. In view of
all about discussion, I answer points Nos. 1 and 2 in the affirmative and
proceed to pass following order.
O R D E R
1. The suit is decreed with costs.
