AS TO POINT NO.1 :
6. All the documents produced by the plaintiff at Exhibit7, 8, 9, 10
and 11 goes to establish that plaintiff has given amount of Rs.3,00,000/
to the defendant as loan. The documents further prove that the amount of
Rs.3,00,000/ is due and payable to the plaintiff from defendant towards
the loan amount. The defendant has failed to repay the said loan amount
to the plaintiff. The documents at list Exhibits 7 to 11 goes to establish
that the defendant is liable to pay Rs.4,56,378/. to the plaintiff on the
date of filing of the suit towards the said loan amount and therefore the
defendant has failed to repay his loan amount to the plaintiff. In this
background, it is held that plaintiff is entitled to recover sum of
Rs.4,56,378/. from the defendant.
7. The plaintiff has claimed 18% per annum on the principle amount.
-- 3 of 5 --
4 Sum. Suit No. 727 of 2019.
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.4,56,378/. 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.4,56,378/. from the defendant with
interest at the rate of Rs.18% per annum from the date of filing of the suit
till its realization. Plaintiff 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.
: O R D E R :
1.The defendant shall pay Rs.4,56,378/ (Rupees
Four Lac Fifty Six Thousand Three hundred Seventy Eight
Only) to the plaintiff with interest at the rate of 18% per
annum 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.
4. Court fee, if any, be refunded as per rule.
