AS TO POINT NO.1 :-
6. All the documents produced by the plaintiff at Exhibits-6 to 10 go
to establish that plaintiff has given amount of Rs.1,00,000/- to the
defendant as loan. The documents further prove that the amount of
Rs.1,00,000/- 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-6 to 10 go
to establish that the defendant are liable to pay Rs.1,52,471.23 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

4 Sum. Suit No. 592 of 2019
entitled to recover sum of Rs.1,52,471.23 ps. from the defendants.
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, the transaction is a simple handloan
transaction and rate of interest @ 18% per month would be just and
proper to be awarded on the principle sum adjudged i.e. amount of
Rs.1,52,471.23 ps. Hence, point No.1 is answered in the affirmative.
AS TO POINT NO.2 :
8. In view of discussion and finding on point No.1, it is held
that plaintiff is entitled to recover Rs.1,52,471.23ps. from the defendant
with interest at the rate of Rs.18% per month from the date of filing of
the suit till its realization. Plaintiff is also entitled to recover cost of the
suit from defendant. Hence, in answered to point No.2, I proceed to
pass the following order.
: O R D E R :
1. The defendant shall pay Rs.1,52,471.23/- (Rs. One Lakh
fifty two thousand four hundred seventy one and twenty
three Paise Only) to the plaintiff with interest at the rate
of 18% per month from the date of filing of the suit till its
realization.
2. Defendant do pay costs of the suit to the plaintiff.
3. Decree be drawn accordingly.
