In spite<\/p>\n<p>of repeated demands the amount is not paid back, hence the<\/p>\n<p>suit.   On the other hand, the defendant                      would contend<\/p>\n<p>that there is no such transaction as stated in the plaint but<\/p>\n<p>according to him, the plaintiff along with his son came and<\/p>\n<p>met him with a request to send his son abroad and for that<\/p>\n<p>purpose, handed over him Rs.80,000\/= and on their demand,<\/p>\n<p>he happened to issue two cheques as security.                      The son<\/p>\n<p>was sent abroad, but the plaintiff did not return the<\/p>\n<p>cheque and he has misused it for the purpose of filing the<\/p>\n<p>suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2. In the trial Court, PW1 and DW1 to 3 were<\/p>\n<p>examined, Exts.A1, A2 and B1 to B4 were marked.                         On<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                              : 2 :<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.NO.876 OF 1997<\/p>\n<p>analysis of the materials, the trial court granted a decree<\/p>\n<p>for Rs.40,000\/= with 12% interest.        It is against    that<\/p>\n<p>decision, the defendant has come up in appeal.<\/p>\n<p>       3. The points that arise for determination in the appeal<\/p>\n<p>are: (1) Whether the court below has erred in granting a<\/p>\n<p>decree, (2) Whether the transaction alleged by the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>is true.\n<\/p>\n<p>     4. Points 1 and 2:\n<\/p>\n<p>     The suit is one for realisation of the amount on account<\/p>\n<p>of    dishonour of cheque granted in favour of the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>towards discharge of the liability. The factum of issuance of<\/p>\n<p>the cheque and dishonour are proved. Contention of the<\/p>\n<p>defendant is that the plaintiff and the son approached him<\/p>\n<p>for the purpose of sending the son abroad and towards the<\/p>\n<p>expenses for the same, handed over Rs.80,000\/=, for which<\/p>\n<p>the defendant had issued two cheques as security for<\/p>\n<p>Rs.40,000\/= each. According to the defendant,       though the<\/p>\n<p>son was sent abroad, the cheques were not returned and a<\/p>\n<p>suit of this nature had been instituted.<\/p>\n<p>     5. PW1 is the plaintiff.  He had deposed in terms of the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                               : 3 :<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.NO.876 OF 1997<\/p>\n<p>plaint and would depose that the amount that had been<\/p>\n<p>borrowed was attempted to be discharged by the issuance<\/p>\n<p>of the cheque.     He denied the transaction regarding the<\/p>\n<p>entrustment of the defendant to send his son abroad. So<\/p>\n<p>many questions had been put to him and nothing acceptable<\/p>\n<p>is elicited to disprove the version spoken to by him.      The<\/p>\n<p>defendant had examined himself and two witnesses and a<\/p>\n<p>perusal of the evidence of DWs 2 and 3 would reveal that<\/p>\n<p>they have no real idea about the transaction and DW2<\/p>\n<p>would say that on the date when the son was sent for<\/p>\n<p>Singapore, he was in his residence and on the basis of that he<\/p>\n<p>gives the evidence. There is no case for any party that the<\/p>\n<p>amount was handed over only when the date the son was left<\/p>\n<p>for Singapore. Just because some documents are produced<\/p>\n<p>to show that money has been changed into dollar in the name<\/p>\n<p>of the plaintiff&#8217;s son, it will not lead to the conclusion that<\/p>\n<p>it is the    part of the case transaction      alleged by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant. Similarly, the amount which is said to be spent<\/p>\n<p>for ticket charges is also a document which is not signed<\/p>\n<p>by anybody and that has not been proved.      It is under these<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                              : 4 :<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.NO.876 OF 1997<\/p>\n<p>circumstances, the following materials loom large.<\/p>\n<p>      6. If really a case as spoken to by DW1 was there, I<\/p>\n<p>am certain that DW1 would have taken some steps to see<\/p>\n<p>that the cheque is    returned.    He has not even issued a<\/p>\n<p>lawyer notice to that effect. Similarly, if he had entrusted<\/p>\n<p>the two cheques and when a suit is instituted, there must be<\/p>\n<p>some explanation with respect to the second cheque. It is<\/p>\n<p>also not forthcoming.    The case of the plaintiff that he had<\/p>\n<p>advanced amount and towards the discharge of the liability,<\/p>\n<p>a cheque has been issued had been spoken to by PW1.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence of Dws 1 to 3 does not inspire confidence<\/p>\n<p>regarding the correctness or acceptability of the same. At<\/p>\n<p>the most, the defence set up is not properly explained or<\/p>\n<p>proved.\n<\/p>\n<p>       7. Therefore, on an analysis of the entire materials,<\/p>\n<p>preponderance of probability weigh with the case of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff. So far as interest portion is concerned, I feel that<\/p>\n<p>as the factum of commercial transaction is not established,<\/p>\n<p>6% interest will be sufficient after the date of the decree.<\/p>\n<p>A revised decree is passed as follows:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                             : 5 :<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.NO.876 OF 1997<\/p>\n<p>     8. The plaintiff is given a decree for realisation of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.40,000\/= with 12% interest on the said sum from the<\/p>\n<p>date of suit till the date of decree i.e., 31.7.1996 and at<\/p>\n<p>the rate of 6% from 1.8.1996 till realisation with cost from<\/p>\n<p>the defendant and his assets and also from the property<\/p>\n<p>attached as per I.A.No.534\/1995.
