-- 3 of 5 --
4 Sum. Suit No. 759 of 2019
Rs.4,59,632.87ps 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.4,59,632.87ps. from the
defendant.
7. The plaintiff 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.4,59,632.87 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.4,59,632.87ps. 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.
