Point No.1

undertaking (Ex.12), Hypothecation deed(Ex.13) and Letter of
evidencing execution of documents(Ex.14). Defendant failed to
repay the amount.

defendant failed to make regular repayment of the loan amount

7. As discussed supra, the defendant failed to contest
the suit and therefore the evidence adduced by the plaintiff bank
remain unchallenged. From the plaintiff's evidence, it is proved
that an amount of Rs.8,29,330/ is outstanding against the
defendant. Therefore, plaintiff is entitled to get decree for the
said amount. Plaintiff bank claimed interest at the rate of 9.70%
p.a. plus 2% p.a.overdue interest. The loan application letter
(Ex.09) and sanction order(Ex.11) show the agreed rate of
interest as 10.55% p.a. Plaintiff is entitled to get 2% penal interest
as per the terms of the agreement as defendant failed to repay the
amount. Plaintiff claimed interest at the rate of 9.70% p.a. as per
base rate. Thus, plaintiff is entitled to the interest at the rate of
11.70% p.a. from the date of filing of the suit till it's realization.
Point No.1 is answered accordingly. In the result, following
order:
