Calcutta HC says missing loan papers don't automatically void debt
In short
The Calcutta High Court said a small cash loan is not automatically invalid just because there is no written loan agreement or ITR entry.
The reported point is that missing tax return entries or papers alone may not defeat a claim of debt. The exact case details and loan amount were not stated.
What the reporting says
The Calcutta High Court held that the absence of a written loan agreement or ITR entries does not automatically invalidate modest cash loans. The publisher-supplied summary says non-filing of an income tax return or lack of a written agreement does not by itself rebut the presumption of a legally enforceable debt. The exact case facts and amount are not stated in the available reporting.
