Therefore, the suit proceeded exparte against the defendants.
4. Considering the material on record and submissions made on
behalf of the plaintiff points arise for determination along with my
findings thereon for the reasons recorded are as under:
POINTS FINDINGS

Yes
2. Whether the plaintiff is entitled
to the interest as prayed?
The plaintiff is entitled to the
interest @ 10% p.a. on principal
amount of Rs.6,00,000/ from the
date of suit till realization of the

3. What order and decree? As per final order
REASONS
AS TO POINTS NO.1 to 3:
5. The plaintiff examined its chief manager P.W.1 Noorul at Exh.6.
His testimony speaks that on the request of defendant No.1 loan of
Rs.6,00,000/ was disbursed in his favour by the plaintiff. Defendant
No.2 stood as the Guarantor. However, the defendants failed to repay
the loan amount by regular monthly installments. According to him,
amount of Rs.6,06,184/ was due and payable by the defendants.
6. His testimony is corroborated by the documents on record as the
loan application, dated 07/10/2015, which reveals that defendant No.1
-- 3 of 5 --
SUMMARY SUIT NO. 1375/2018 4
had applied for loan on 07/10/2015. Defendant No.2 also executed said
application showing his willingness to stand as guarantor. Sanction
letter dated 17/10/2015, term Loan agreement, Guarantee agreement
Letter of undertaking dated 17/10/2015, reveal that the defendants
agreed to repay the loan of Rs.6,00,000/ in equated monthly
installments with interest @11.15% p.a.. Defendant No.2 stood as
guarantor for defendant No.1. The statement of account reveals that the
loan was disbursed by the plaintiff to the account of defendant No.1.
Thus, it is clear that the plaintiff had paid loan amount of Rs.6,00,000/
to defendant No.1 with interest @ 11.15% p.a., but the defendants
failed to repay the loan. The statement of account shows that, on the
date of filing of the suit, the amount outstanding, due and payable by
the defendants was Rs.6,06,184/. In these circumstances, the plaintiff
is entitled to recover the amount of Rs.6,06,184/. So far as the
pendente lite interest and future interest is concerned, it may be noted
that the loan granted to defendant No.1 was from 'Pradhanmantri
Mudra Yojna'. It appears that it was granted to the defendant for his
business. Considering these circumstances, it is just and proper to grant
the interest at simple rate of 10% p.a. from the date of suit till
realization of amount. Hence, point No.1 is answered in the affirmative
and point No.2 is answered as that the plaintiff is entitled to the
interest @ 10% p.a. from the date of suit till realization of the amount.
In answer to point No.3 order as follows is passed.
ORDER
1. The suit is exparte decreed with costs as under:
2. Defendants No.1 & 2 shall jointly and severally pay to the plaintiff
