B, a young wrestler of about 17½ years, looking much older than his age, procured a loan of Rs. 45,000 on interest at 12% per annum from M, a moneylender and executed a promissory note in his favour. B represented himself to be 21 years old at the time of getting the said loan. B invested Rs. 40,000 with a limited company on interest at 18% per annum and lost the remaining amount of Rs. 5,000 in gambling. However, the said company went into the liquidation and B’s entire investment was lost. When M filed a suit against B for recovery of the aforesaid amount, the latter pleaded ‘minority’. How will you adjudicate the matter?
