The facts in brief are as follows: The plaintiff is doing money lending business under license. The defendant is working in BMC, Mumbai. The defendant executed Demand Promissory Note of Rs.1,50,000/(Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand Only) on 07.09.2016. The defendant promised to pay the principal amount with interest at the rate of 18% per annum. But he failed to repay the amount. The Defendant, failed and neglected to pay the said sum and dishonoured the promissory note. The plaintiff issued legal notice dated 24.06.2019. The plaintiff therefore filed the present suit. The plaintiff prayed for a sum of Rs.2,25,673.97/ (Rupees Two Lacs Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Three and Ninety Seven Paise Only) and calculated interest on principal amount of Rs.1,50,000/(Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand Only) till the suit is filed. The plaintiff claimed further interest at the rate 18% per annum and prayed to decree the suit. 3. The defendant was duly served with writ of summon. He remained absent and therefore, the suit was proceeded exparte as per order dated 22.04.2022. -- 2 of 5 -- 3 Summary Suit No.69 of 2021 4. Heard the arguments advanced by the Learned Advocate for plaintiff. The plaintiff filed his Claim Affidavit vide Exh.03. The plaintiff filed the documents as per the list of documents vide Exh.04. Plaintiff filed Demand Promissory Note dated 07.09.2016 Exh.05, Plaintiffs Advocate's letter dated 24.06.2019 Exh.06, Money lender license Artice A, Forms under Bombay Money lending Act Article B, Books of Accounts Article C. 5. After going through the documents and argument of the Learned advocate for plaintiff, the perusal of document Ex.05 shows that the Demand Promissory Note was accepted by defendant in favour of plaintiff and on demand defendant promise to pay at Mumbai to the plaintiff a sum of Rs.1,50,000/ and also consented to repay the sum on demand along with interest of 18%. The plaintiff further filed legal notice, vide Exh.6. 6. After going through the documents and argument of the Learned advocate for plaintiff, it seems that the plaintiff handed over the Demand Promissory Note Exh.5 and defendant failed to repay the same, even after, he was issued legal notice. However, the defendant failed to reply the same. The defendant neither appeared nor filed his evidence.s Therefore, the plaintiff is entitled for the due amount of Rs.2,25,673.97/with interest on the principal amount of Rs.1,50,000/. 7. It seems that the plaintiff has demanded exorbitant interest at the rate of 18% per annum. Considering the nature of transaction, the interest at the rate of 9% per annum would meet the ends of justice. I therefore, proceed to pass the following order -- 3 of 5 -- 4 Summary Suit No.69 of 2021 ORDER 1. The Summary Suit No.69 of 2021 is decreed with costs. 2. Defendant shall pay amount of Rs.2,25,673.97/(Rupees Two Lacs Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Three and Ninety Seven Paise Only) to the plaintiff along with interest at the rate of 9 percent per annum on the principal amount of Rs.1,50,000/(Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand Only) from the date of filing suit till its actual realisation. 3.
