IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Regular Second Appeal No. 3257 of 2006 Date of decision: 21.10.2008 Sohan Lal ..Appellant v. Baljinder Kaur .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Vijay Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Ashok Goel, Advocate for the respondent. .. Rajesh Bindal J. The defendant is in appeal before this Court against the concurrent finding of fact by both the Courts below, whereby the suit filed by the respondent- plaintiff for recovery of Rs. 1,30,620/- was decreed to the extent of Rs. 84,720/- as principal along with interest @ 12% per annum from the date of advancement of loan, i.e., 2.12.1998 till the date of decree with future interest @ 6% on the principal amount. At the time of issuance of notice of motion on 22.11.2007, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that in case the rate of interest is reduced from 12% to 9%, the appellant is willing to pay the decretal amount in one go. Thereafter, the case was adjourned number of times. Today, the appellant along with his counsel was present in the Court and stated that he would need at least two years' time to pay the amount and to show his bonafide he could pay only a sum of Rs. 10,000/- to Rs. 15,000/- now. This is not acceptable to the counsel for the respondent. Even otherwise, this runs contrary to the statement made on the date of hearing at the time of issuance of notice of motion. Nearly one year has passed thereby and till date not even a single penny has been paid by the appellant. Keeping in view the conduct of the appellant, I do not find it a fit case for interference. The findings recorded by the courts below are plain and simple findings of fact giving rise to no question of law, much less a substantial question of law. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) 21.10.2008 Judge mk
