CORAM : HER HONOUR JUDGE
SMT. R.K. KSHIRSAGAR
(C.R.No.13)
DATED : 14th December, 2021
J U D G M E N T
(Exparte)
1. The present suit is filed by the plaintiff for recovery of an
amount of Rs.2,95,000/ (Rupees Two Lacs Ninety Five Thousand only)
with further interest on the principal amount of Rs.2,50,000/ (Rupees
Two Lacs Fifty Thousand Only) at the rate of 18% per annum from the
date of filing of the suit till its realization.
2. The facts in brief are as follows:
The plaintiff lent and advanced to the defendant the sum of
Rs.2,50,000/ on 10.07.2018 in cash with interest at the rate of 18%
per annum. The defendant executed demand promisory note in favour
of plaintiff. The defendant failed to repay the same. The plaintiff on
several occasions demanded the repayment of said amount, but the
defendant failed and neglected to pay the same. The plaintiff issued
legal notices but the defendant failed to repay the demand. Hence, the
present suit. The plaintiff prayed to decree the suit.
3. The defendant was duly served but, he failed to appear
hence, suit was proceeded Exparte against the defendant as per order
dated 09.03.2021.
4. Heard the Learned Advocate for plaintiff. Plaintiff filed
claim Affidavit Exh.3 alongwith compilation of documents vide Exh.4.

Summary Suit 20 of 2020 .. J/3 .. Ex-parte Judgment
Plaintiff filed the Original promisory note and Notice of demand vide
Exh.5 and 6.
6. After going through the documents filed by the plaintiff, it
seems that the defendant had taken the amount and agreed to repay the
same on demand alongwith interest. The defendant however, failed to
repay the same. The original promisory note shows that the promisory
note was executed by the defendant. The defendant failed to appear
and challenge the oral and documentary evidence of plaintiff. The
defendant also failed to crossexamine the plaintiff. Therefore, the
evidence of plaintiff has gone unchallenged. The plaintiff on oath
stated about the money lent to the defendant. The documents filed by
the plaintiff had also gone unchallenged. It therefore seems that the
defendant is liable to pay the principal amount and the interest accrued
upon it. The plaintiff calculated the amount of Rs.2,95,000/ till the
date of filing of the suit. Considering the nature of transaction it would
not be appropriate to grant further interest at the rate of 18% per
annum. However, the interest at the rate of 9% per annum would meet
the ends of Justice. Hence, I, proceed to pass the following order:
ORDER
1. The Summary Suit no. 20 of 2020 is decreed with costs.
2. The defendant shall pay the sum of Rs. 2,95,000/(Rupees Two
Lacs Ninety five Thousand Only) to the plaintiff with interest on
the principal amount of Rs. 2,50,000/ (Rupees Two Lacs Fifty
Thousand only) at the rate of 9 percent p.a. from the date of
filing of the suit till its realisation.
3. Decree be drawn up accordingly.
