-- 4 of 7 --
5 Sum. Suit No. 571 of 2018.
9. The oral and documentary evidence of the plaintiffs
has remained unchallenged. I have gone through the
documentary evidence.
10. All the documents produced by the plaintif at Exh.4
to 16 go to establish that plaintif bank has disbursed loan
of Rs.4,15,000/- to the defendant. The defendant has
failed to pay the loan to the plaintif bank. The
documentary evidence go to establish that the defendant
is liable to pay loan amount Rs.3,80,872/- to the plaintif
bank on the date of fling of the suit towards the said
loan.
11. The plaintif has claimed 13.20% per annum on the
principle amount. As per section 34 of the Code of Civil
Procedure the rate of interest may exceeds 6% per
annum, if the transaction is commercial and there is a
contract pertaining to the same between the parties. In
the present case, the transaction is commercial one, and
there exists contract between the parties as to the rate of
interest which shall be levied. As per the Sanction letter
dated 08.01.2016 at Exh.7, the rate of interest agreed is
11.20% per annum. So considering the agreed rate of
interest between the plaintif and defendant the rate of
interest at the rate of Rs.11.20% per annum would be ji ust
and proper to be awarded on the principle sum adji udged
i.e. amount of Rs.3,80,872/-. Hence, point No.1 is
answered in the affirmative.
