The first defendant, who is the first respondent herein, was having a hotel business and he was given credit facility to the extent of Rs. 2,000 against the personal guarantee of the second defendant, who is the second respondent herein. In respect of the above loan facility, a demand promissory note for Rs. 2,000 was executed by the first defendant in favour of the second defendant and later it was endorsed by the second defendant in favour of the appellant bank.

Though the first defendant availed of the entire credit facility, nothing was paid. Hen
