AS TO POINT NO.1 :-
6. All the documents produced by the plaintiff at Exhibits-7 to 11
goes to establish that plaintiff has given amount of Rs.2,00,000/- to the
defendant as loan. The documents further prove that the amount of
Rs.2,00,000/- is due and payable to the plaintiff from defendant
towards the loan amount. The defendant have failed to repay the said
loan amount to the plaintiff. The documents at list Exhibits-7 to 11 goes
to establish that the defendant are liable to pay Rs.3,06,915.06 paise to
the plaintiff on the date of filing of the suit towards the said loan
amount and therefore, the defendant have failed to repay his loan
amount to the plaintiff. In this background, it is held that plaintiff is
entitled to recover sum of Rs.3,06,915.06 ps. from the defendant.
7. The plaintiff has claimed 18% per month 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, rate of interest @ 18% per month would be
just and proper to be awarded on the principle sum adjudged i.e.
