Definitely it is valid.
Since no immovable property is getting transferred by this agreement no registration, stamp duty or notarisation is required.
It is a simple acknowledgment to repay the money on the basis of which suit for recovery of money could be filed within the time covered by the Limitation Act.

The signed Stamp Paper is a bill of exchange which promised to pay a certain amount after a definite period to the lender with interest. It is a criminal breach of trust and U may initiate criminal and civil proceedings against defaulter at a time. record the evidence of witness before any court as they why witnessed on stamp paper for the veracity of your claim and case proceedings.

The document is an acknowledgement of debt coupled with an undertaking to pay the amount within a specified time.The document is said to have been attested by witnesses and thus is liable to stamp duty as bond. You have stated that the agreement has been executed on "a stamp paper of Rs.50/-, neither judicial nor nojn judicial"! Then what kind of stamp paper was used? pl clarify.
