AS TO POINT NO.1 :-
6. All the documents produced by the plaintif at Exhibits-9
to 13 go to establish that plaintif has given amount of
Rs.50,000/- to the defendant as loan. The documents further
prove that the amount of Rs.50,000/- is due and payable to

defendant has failed to repay the said loan amount to the

plaintif on the date of fling of the suit towards the said loan

amount and therefore, the defendant has failed to repay his
loan amount to the plaintif. In this background, it is held that
plaintif is entitled to recover sum of Rs.76,482.19 ps. from the
defendant.
7. The plaintif has claimed 18% 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 such
contract existing between the parties as to the rate of interest
which shall be levied. Therefore, the transaction is a simple
handloan transaction and rate of interest @ 18% per annum
would be just and proper to be awarded on the principle sum
adjudged i.e. amount of Rs.76,482.19 ps. Hence, point No.1
is answered in the afrmative.
AS TO POINT NO.2 :
8. In view of discussion and fnding on point No.1, it is
held that plaintif is entitled to recover Rs.76,482.19ps. from
the defendant with interest at the rate of Rs.18% per annum
from the date of fling of the suit till its realization. Plaintif 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.
