Petitioners have not made any representation to the Kolhapur District Central Cooperative Bank Limited or to the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development placing the material on record to show that the borrowers whose names appear in the list of farmers who were held ineligible for the benefits of the said Scheme were in fact eligible. It is not in dispute that the Petitioners have received an amount through the said Kolhapur District Central Cooperative Bank Limited which equivalent to the amount of the loan waived under the Scheme in relation to their borrowers. In any event, if there was any default committed by the borrowers, the Petitioners were required to proceed against the borrowers in accordance with law for recovery of the loan amount. Even as of today, the Petitioners can initiate recovery proceedings against the ineligible borrowers in accordance with law. The argument that the PetitionersSocieties will suffer great prejudice in the event they fail in the recovery proceedings cannot be considered as it is not the specific case made out that the names of the eligible borrowers have been included in the list forwarded by the Kolhapur District Central Cooperative Bank Limited to the Petitioners. After the recovery of the amount which was paid to the Petitioners, they are now in the same position in which they were, when the loans were granted by them to its members and therefore, the Petitioners can always file recovery proceedings against the borrowers.
