AS TO POINT NO.1 :-
6. All the documents produced by the plaintiff at Exhibit-7
and 11 goes to establish that plaintiff has given amount of
Rs.1,46,000/- to the defendant as loan. The documents further prove
that the amount of Rs.1,46,000/- is due and payable to the plaintiff
from defendant towards the loan amount. The defendant has failed to

4 Sum. Suit No.831/2019
Exhibits 7 to 11 goes to establish that the defendant is liable to pay
Rs.1,65,584/-. 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.1,65,584/- 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.1,65,584/-. 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.1,65,584/- from the defendant
with interest at the rate of 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 defendant. Hence, in answered to point No.2, I proceed to pass
the following order.
O R D E R
1. The defendant shall pay Rs.1,65,584/-(Rupees One Lakh
Sixty Five Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Four Only) to the
plaintiff with interest on principal amount of Rs.1,46,000/-
at the rate of 18% per annum from the date of filing of the
suit till its realization.
