RAVINDER KUMAR JAIN vs UMESH KUMAR — 45/2025

Case Summary: RCA DJ 45/25 Ravinder Kumar Jain v. Umesh Kumar & Pooja The appellate court modified the trial court's judgment, increasing the award to plaintiffs from Rs. 1,58,000 to Rs. 2,02,350 plus 8% simple interest. The defendant had admitted receiving Rs. 2,75,400 as a friendly loan from plaintiffs; after crediting Rs. 73,050 returned by the defendant, plaintiffs were entitled to the full balance. The court rejected the defendant's unsubstantiated defense of a Rs. 2.5 lakh cash loan, finding it vague, unsupported by documentary evidence, and inconsistent with his failure to file a counterclaim or separate suit for recovery. Both cross-appeals were resolved in plaintiffs' favor. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
