He had agreed to repay the same<\/p>\n<p>along with interest at the rate of 2% per month. He expired leaving behind<\/p>\n<p>the defendants as his legal heirs. His property has been inherited by these<\/p>\n<p>defendants.    Mutation No.10414 qua his alleged inheritance has been<\/p>\n<p>sanctioned in their favour. The plaintiff requested Harbans Singh during his<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> R.S.A. No.1677 of 2008                                         -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>life time to repay the above-mentioned amount along with interest. After<\/p>\n<p>his death, similar requests were made to the defendants to make the payment<\/p>\n<p>of the aforesaid amount together with interest, but of no avail. On 7.1.2003,<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff got served a legal registered notice calling upon the defendants<\/p>\n<p>to repay the amount in question, but in vain. On these allegations, this suit<\/p>\n<p>has been filed for the recovery of      Rs.1,78,350\/- comprising principal<\/p>\n<p>amount Rs.1,23,000\/- and interest Rs.55,350\/- at the rate of 2% per month<\/p>\n<p>calculated upto 15.2.2003. In their written statement, the defendants denied<\/p>\n<p>obtaining of any loan from the plaintiff by their father Harbans Singh, since<\/p>\n<p>deceased. It has been alleged that there was no legal necessity for their<\/p>\n<p>father to borrow the loan amount and that the alleged pronote and receipt<\/p>\n<p>are forged and fabricated documents. It is further alleged that Harbans<\/p>\n<p>Singh never disclosed to the defendants regarding borrowing of loan<\/p>\n<p>amount by him from the plaintiff. That he was a patient of high blood<\/p>\n<p>pressure, tension and was not in a disposing state of mind and ultimately<\/p>\n<p>expired on 8.5.2001.     Lastly, it has been prayed that the suit may be<\/p>\n<p>dismissed with costs. The following issues were framed:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             1.    Whether for due consideration the defendant executed<\/p>\n<p>                   pronote and receipt in favour of plaintiff on 1.4.2001?<\/p>\n<p>                   OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             2.

If so at what<\/p>\n<p>                   rate? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             4.

Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and examining<\/p>\n<p>the evidence on record, the learned trial Court decreed the suit as noticed at<\/p>\n<p>the outset. Feeling aggrieved therewith, the defendants went up in appeal<\/p>\n<p>which also met failure as noticed at the outset.           Being undaunted and<\/p>\n<p>dissatisfied therewith, they have preferred this appeal.<\/p>\n<p>             I have heard learned counsel for the defendants- appellants,<\/p>\n<p>besides perusing the findings returned by both the Courts below with due<\/p>\n<p>care and circumspection.\n<\/p>\n<p>             Mr. Manjit Singh, Advocate on behalf of the appellants<\/p>\n<p>canvassed at the bar that Harbans Singh, father of the defendants- appellants<\/p>\n<p>was about 80 years of age at the time of alleged loan amount and execution<\/p>\n<p>of the pronote and receipt and he had no legal necessity to borrow such a<\/p>\n<p>huge amount when he was in the evening of his life and furthermore, the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff\/ respondent has failed to prove the source from which he had<\/p>\n<p>arranged the alleged amount for being paid to Harbans Singh- deceased and<\/p>\n<p>in these premises, both the Courts below were not justified in accepting the<\/p>\n<p>claim of the plaintiff. These contentions merit rejection for the discussion<\/p>\n<p>to follow hereunder.\n<\/p>\n<p>             Bogha Singh, Ex. Sarpanch PW.1 by tendering his affidavit<\/p>\n<p>Ex.PW1\/A had solemnly affirmed that on 1.4.2001 Harbans Singh, father of<\/p>\n<p>the defendants had borrowed a sum of Rs.1,23,000\/- in cash from the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> R.S.A. No.1677 of 2008                                         -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>plaintiff in his presence and the marginal witnesses Ami`r Chand, Bhana<\/p>\n<p>Mal and Gurmit Singh with the promise to repay the same together with<\/p>\n<p>interest at the rate of 2% per month and that the pronote is Ex.P.1 and the<\/p>\n<p>receipt is Ex.P.2. Amar Chand, PW2 by tendering his affidavit PW2\/A has<\/p>\n<p>also proved the execution of the disputed pronote\/ receipt as well as passing<\/p>\n<p>of the consideration. As is borne out from the findings returned by both the<\/p>\n<p>Courts below, the credibility of the statements of these witnesses could not<\/p>\n<p>be impeached in any manner.        On appraising their evidence, it is well<\/p>\n<p>established that the disputed pronote and receipt were executed by Harbans<\/p>\n<p>Singh, deceased in favour of the plaintiff for consideration. Section 118-(a)<\/p>\n<p>of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 contemplates that if execution of<\/p>\n<p>the promissory note is proved by the plaintiff, the onus shifts on to the<\/p>\n<p>defendant to demonstrate that the same were executed without<\/p>\n<p>consideration. Here in this case, the presumption arising under this Section<\/p>\n<p>has gone unrebutted.     On careful delving into the concurrent findings<\/p>\n<p>returned by both the Courts below, it transpires that the same do not suffer<\/p>\n<p>from any infirmity and are not liable to be disturbed.       This apart, no<\/p>\n<p>substantial question of law arises for determination by this Court in this<\/p>\n<p>appeal. Sequelly, this appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>October 23, 2008                                  ( HARBANS LAL )\nrenu                                                   JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Gurjant Singh And Another vs Som Nath Alias Jang Bahadur on 23 October, 2008 R.S.A.
