REASONS
Point No.1
5. In order to substantiate the claim, plaintiff bank filed
evidence affidavit of it's officer PW1 Pramod Kumar Singh
(Exh.5). He reiterated all the facts pleaded in the plaint. He
testified that defendants executed documents such as letter of
undertaking (Ex.10), letter of evidencing execution of
documents(Ex.11) and Hypothecation deed(Ex.12). Defendants
failed to repay the amount.
6. The oral evidence adduced by plaintiff bank is well
supported by the documents filed on record. The documents show
that loan amount of Rs.9.49 lacs was disbursed to the defendants.
Defendants were required to repay the loan amount in 60
monthly installments. But, the statement of account (Ex.14)
shows that defendants failed to make regular repayment of the
loan amount and an amount of Rs.6,82,783/ was due as on
05/06/2018.

7. As discussed supra, the defendants failed to contest
the suit and therefore the evidence adduced by the plaintiff bank
remain unchallenged. The oral as well as documentary evidence
of plaintiff shows that an amount of Rs. 6,82,783/ is outstanding
against defendants. Therefore, plaintiff is entitled to get decree
for the said amount. Plaintiff bank claimed interest at the rate of
09.20% p.a. plus 2% p.a. overdue interest. The loan application
letter (Ex.08) alongwith sanction order shows 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 defendants failed to repay
the amount. Plaintiff claimed interest 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:
ORDER
1. Suit is decreed with costs.
2. Defendants shall pay an amount of Rs. 6,82,783/
(Rs. Six Lacs Eighty Two Thousand Seven Hundred and
Eighty Three only) alongwith interest @ 11.70 percent
p.a. to plaintiff from the date of the suit till it's
realization within two months.
3. Court fees be refunded as per (E) Rules framed under
Section 11(2) of the Bombay City Civil Court Act, 1948,
for the refund of Institution Fee.
4. Decree thus follow.
