    Case Summary: Surendra Giri v. Bitu (RCA DJ 56/25) The appellate court reversed the trial court's dismissal of the defendant's leave-to-defend application in a loan recovery suit. While the plaintiff claimed a ₹2 lakh friendly loan, the defendant admitted borrowing only ₹1.5 lakh and claimed to have repaid ₹1 lakh, disputing the remainder. The court held that the defendant's defense, though lacking documentary support and specific repayment dates, constituted a fair/reasonable defense rather than a frivolous one. The court awarded the plaintiff a partial decree of ₹50,000 (the amount admitted by defendant) with 6% interest, and granted the defendant unconditional leave to defend regarding the remaining ₹1.5 lakh claim.
