defendant or his Advocate, has appeared to contest the suit. Therefore,
documents submitted and proved by plaintiff remain uncontroverted
and unchallenged. Hence, claim put forth by plaintiff and his testimony
remain unchallenged and unrebutted. Therefore, suit filed by plaintiff

Defendant neither present nor rebutted the claim of plaintiff. Which
clearly establishes the claim of plaintiff and therefore, plaintiff is
entitled to recover amount which borrowed by defendant along with
interest @ 18% per annum. In spite of repeated demand and
opportunity defendant has not paid the amount. Therefore, costs of this
suit needs to be saddled on defendant.
