(Exparte)
1. The present Summary Suit filed by plaintiff for recovery of
sum of Rs.2,95,000/ (Rupees Two Lacs Ninety Five Thousand only)
alongwith 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 suit till its realisation.
2. The fact in brief are as follows.
The plaintiff is the Money Lender carrying out the business
of money lending under license. The defendant is serving in BMC,
Mumbai. The plaintiff advanced and lent to the defendant a sum of
Rs.2,50,000/(Rupees Two Lacs Fifty Thousand only) on 20.05.2018 in
cash. To that defendant executed demand promissory note in favour of
plaintiff dated to 20.05.2018. The defendant promised to pay the
principal amount with interest at the rate 18% per annum. But he failed
to repay the amount. Inspite of repeated request and demand by the
plaintiff defendant failed and neglected to pay the same. The plaintiff
issued demands and reminders however, the defendant dishonoured
promissory note. The plaintiff therefore, filed the present Suit. The
Plaintiff prayed for a sum of Rs.2,95,000/ (Rupees Two Lacs Ninety

Five Thousand only) with further interest on Rs.2,50,000/(Rupees Two
Lacs Fifty Thousand only) till the suit is filed. The plaintiff claimed
further interest at the rate 18% p.a. and prayed to decree the suit.
3. The defendant was duly served with writ of summon. He
remained absent and therefore, the suit was proceeded exparte as per
order dated 22.03.2021.
4. To substantiate the claim, the plaintiff filed his claim
affidavit vide Ex.03 and reproduced the contents of his plaint. The
plaintiff relied upon the original document which are filed as per list of
documents Exh.04.
5. Heard the Learned advocate for plaintiff. The perusal of
document Ex.05 the promissory note shows that the defendant obtained
the amount and executed promissory note of Rs.2,50,000/ in favour of
plaintiff. The plaintiff further filed the legal demand notice dated
15.05.2019, vide Exh.06. The legal notice was duly served to the
defendant.
6. After going through the documents its seems that the
defendant obtained the loan of Rs.2,50,000/ in cash, against it
executed demand promissory note of Rs.2,50,000 / (Rupees Two Lacs
Fifty Thousand only) in favour of plaintiff. In spite of repeated request
and demand defendant failed to repay the amount. He also agreed to
pay the interest at the rate of Rs.18%. Even after, he was issued legal
notice, he failed to repay the same. The defendant inspite of receipt of
legal notice and writ of summons, had choosen to remain absent. The
defendant has failed to challenge the evidence filed in the Court. The
-- 3 of 5 --

evidence of the plaintiff has gone unchallenged. The defendant is
therefore liable to pay the amount to the plaintiff.
7. It seems that the plaintiff has demanded exorbitant interest
at the rate of 18% per annum. Considering the nature of transaction,
the interest at the rate of 9% per annum would meet the ends of justice.
I therefore, proceed to pass the following order:
ORDER
1. The Summary Suit no. 77 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

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.
4. Court fee be refunded to the plaintiff if any as per rules.
5. Judgement dictated and pronounced in open court.
