company as per appointment letter.
7. The plaintiff has claimed 24% 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 no contract pertaining to the same between the parties. In
the present case the transaction is commercial one and there is no such
contract existing between the parties as to the rate of interest which
shall be levied. Therefore, the transaction is not being a commercial
transaction, the simple rate of interest @ 6% per annum, would be just
and proper to be awarded on the principle sum adjudged i.e. amount of
Rs.63,133/ . Hence, point No.1 is answered in the affirmative.

plaintiff is entitled to recover Rs.63,133/ from the defendant with
interest at the rate of Rs.6% per annum from the date of filing of the
suit till its realization. Plaintiff is also entitled to recover cost of the suit
from defendants. Hence, in answered to point No.2, I proceed to pass
the following order.

Thousand Five Hundred Only) to the plaintiff with
