The plaintif is carrying on business of money lending in

of Rs.2,50,000/- on 19.11.2016 in cash with interest at the
rate of 18% p.a. for which the defendant had executed
Demand Promissory note in favour of the Plaintif. The
defendant had promised to pay to the plaintif the said sum of
Rs.2,50,000/- with interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per
annum on demand. But, the defendant failed to pay to the
plaintif in-spite of demands, reminders and receipt of the
legal notice dated 28.09.2019. Hence, plaintif is constrained
to fle the suit for recovery of the said amount. The total suit
claim of the plaintif for Rs.2,95,000/-.

AS TO POINT NO.1 :-
6. All the documents produced by the plaintif at Exhibits-7
to 12 prove that plaintif has given amount of Rs.2,50,000/- to
the defendant as loan. The documents further prove that the
amount of Rs.2,50,000/- is due and payable to the plaintif
from defendant towards the loan amount. The defendant has
failed to repay the said loan amount to the plaintif. The
documents at list Exhibits-5 to 9 go to establish that the
defendant is liable to pay Rs.2,95,000/-. to the plaintif on the

4 Sum. Suit No. 1055 of 2019
date of fling of the suit towards the said loan amount and
therefore, the defendant has failed to repay his loan amount
to the plaintif. In this background, it is held that plaintif is
entitled to recover sum of Rs.2,95,000/-. from the defendant.
7. The plaintif 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.2,95,000/-. Hence, point No.1 is
answered in the afrmative.
AS TO POINT NO.2 :
8. In view of discussion and fnding on point No.1, it is
held that plaintif is entitled to recover Rs.2,95,000/-. from the
defendant with interest at the rate of Rs.18% per annum from
the date of fling of the suit till its realization. Plaintif 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.
: O R D E R :
1. The defendant shall pay Rs.2,95,000/- (Rs. Two
Lakh Ninety Five Thousand Only) to the plaintif
with interest at the rate of 18% per annum from
the date of fling of the suit till its realization.
