defendants are failed to repay the amount. Hence, this suit.

5. Despite due service of summons, defendants are failed to
appear. It infers that both defendants admit the suit claim. On perusal
of account extract, there are entries of part payment. However,
defendants are failed to repay the loan as agreed. Resultantly, suit
deserves to be decreed.
6. However, interest at the rate of 13.95% p.a. appears to be
exorbitant. Considering entire facts, interest at the rate of 12% p.a.
seems reasonable. Hence, the order :
