AS TO POINT NO.1 :-
6. All the documents produced by the plaintiff at Exhibit No.4 to
18 goes to establish that plaintiff has supplied the goods of Rs.4,83,551/-to
the defendants. The documents further prove that the amount of
Rs.4,90,903/-is due and payable to the plaintiff from defendants. The
defendants have failed to repay the said amount to the plaintiff. The
documents at Exhibit No.4 to 18 goes to establish that the defendants are
liable to pay Rs.4,90,903/-to the plaintiff on the date of filing of the suit
towards the said amount and therefore, the defendants have failed to
repay the said amount to the plaintiff. In this background, it is held that
plaintiff is entitled to recover sum of Rs.4,90,903/- from the defendants.
7. The plaintiff has claimed 18% per annum on the principal
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 contract
existing between the parties as to the rate of interest which shall be levied.
Therefore, the transaction is a commercial one and rate of interest @ 21%
per annum would be just and proper to be awarded on the principal sum
adjudged i.e. amount of Rs.4,90,903/-. Hence, point No.1 is answered in
the affirmative.
AS TO POINT NO.2 :
8. In view of discussion and finding on point No.1, it is held that
plaintiff is entitled to recover Rs.4,90,903/-. from the defendant with

following order.
O R D E R

Hundred Three Only) to the plaintiff with interest at the rate
