J U D G M E N T
(Exparte)
1. The present Summary Suit is filed by plaintiff for recovery
of a sum of Rs.1,53,408.21/ (Rupees One Lakh Fifty Three Thousand
Four Hundred Eight and Twenty One Paise Only) and further interest
on the principal amount of Rs.1,00,000/(Rupees One Lakh Only) along
with interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the date of filing of the
suit till its actual realization.
2. The facts in brief are as follows:
The plaintiff is doing money lending business under license.
The defendant is an adult Indian inhabitant residing at Mumbai. The
defendant executed Demand Promissory Note of Rs.1,00,000/(Rupees
One Lakh Only) on 25.06.2017. The defendant promised to pay the
principal amount with interest at the rate of 18% per annum. But he
failed to repay the amount. The Defendant, failed and neglected to pay
the said sum and dishonoured the promissory note. The plaintiff issued
legal notice dated 21.02.2020. The plaintiff therefore filed the present
suit. The plaintiff prayed for a sum of Rs.1,53,408.21/ (Rupees One
Lakh Fifty Three Thousand Four Hundred Eight and Twenty One Paise
Only) and calculated interest on principal amount of Rs.1,00,000/
(Rupees One Lakh Only) till the suit is filed. The plaintiff claimed
further interest at the rate 18% p.a. and prayed to decree the suit.

3 Summary Suit No.835 of 2021
3. The defendant was duly served with writ of summon. He
remained absent and therefore, the suit was proceeded exparte as per
order dated 11.03.2022.
4. Heard the arguments advanced by the Learned Advocate
for plaintiff. The plaintiff filed his Claim Affidavit vide Exh.03. The
plaintiff filed the documents as per the list of documents vide Exh.04.
Plaintiff filed Demand Promissory Note dated 25.06.2017 Exh.05,
Plaintiff's legal notice dated 21.02.2020 Exh.06, Money lender license
Article A, Forms under Bombay Money lending Act Article B, Books of
Accounts Article C.
5. After going through the documents and argument of the
Learned advocate for plaintiff, the perusal of document Ex.05 shows
that the Demand Promissory Note was accepted by defendant in favour
of plaintiff and on demand defendant promised to pay at Mumbai to the
plaintiff a sum of Rs.1,00,000/ and also consented to repay the sum on
demand along with interest of 18%. The plaintiff further filed legal
notice, vide Exh.06.
6. After going through the documents and argument of the
Learned advocate for plaintiff, it seems that the plaintiff handed over
the Demand Promissory Note Exh.05 and defendant failed to repay the
same, even after, he was issued legal notice. However, the defendant
failed to reply the same. The defendant neither appeared nor filed his
evidence. Therefore, the plaintiff is entitled for the due amount of
Rs.1,53,408.21/w ith interest on the principal amount of Rs.1,00,000/.

4 Summary Suit No.835 of 2021
7. It seems that the plaintiff has demanded exorbitant interest
at the rate of 18% per annum. Considering the nature of transaction,
the interest at the rate of 9% per annum would meet the ends of justice.
I therefore, proceed to pass the following order:
ORDER
1. The Summary Suit No.835 of 2021 is decreed with costs.

(Rupees One Lakh Only) from the date of filing suit till its actual
