obtained by the defendant from the plaintiff, the defendant executed
promissory note of same amount on 10.11.2016 in favour of the
plaintiff. By same promissory note the defendant promised to pay
interest at the rate of 18% p.a. on the said sum of Rs.2,10,000/-.

SUMMARY SUIT NO.1053/2019 3
REASONS
AS TO POINTS NO.1 & 2:-
5. The plaintiff filed his Claim Affidavit at Exh.6 and also produced
documents with list Exh.7. The Affidavit and the document as
promissory note dtd.10.11.2016 reveal that the defendant executed said
promissory note for Rs.2,10,000/- in favour of the plaintiff and also
promised to pay interest at the rate of 18% p.a.. Copy of license in Form
No.3 shows that the plaintiff is licensed Money Lender. Despite legal
notice dtd.28.09.2019, the defendant failed to pay the amount to the
plaintiff. Thus, the Claim Affidavit, documents on record and the
circumstance that defendant failed to appear and contest/challenge the
suit, proved the case of the plaintiff. Therefore, the plaintiff is entitled
to recovery of the amount with interest as prayed. Hence, point No.1 is
answered in the Affirmative. In view of Para-499 of Civil Manual court
fees has to be refunded to the plaintiff, this being summary suit where
the defendant did not appear. In answer to point No.2 order as follows
is passed:-
ORDER
1. The suit is ex-parte decreed with costs as under.
2. The Defendant shall pay to the plaintiff amount of Rs.2,95,000/-
(Rupees Two lakh Ninety Five Thousand Only) with simple interest at

of suit till realization of the amount.
3. Court fees be refunded to the plaintiff as per rules.
