The Applicant Bank has filed the present application for recovery of the sum of Rs.28,50,828/- together with future interest @14.75% per annum from the date of Application till realization of the entire dues from the defendant.

As per the loan application of the defendant, the applicant Bank sanctioned the mortgage loan facility of Rs.25,00,000/- to the defendant for his personal needs vide Sanction Letter dated 02.06.2015.

In order to secure the aforesaid loan facility, the defendant has executed necessary loan and security documents in favour of the applicant Bank. The defendant has also executed simple mortgage deed dated 03.06.2015 in respect of all that piece and parcel of Grampanchayat Milkat No. 1522/B admeasuring 66 x 32 = 2112 square feet along with building constructed thereon and open space at village Rashin Gaonthan, Taluka Karjat, District Ahmednagar, in favour of the applicant Bank.

¶19

The applicant Bank contended that the defendant committed defaults in payment of installments and failed to regularize the accounts. Hence, the applicant Bank has classified the account of the defendant as Non Performing Asset in accordance with guidelines of Reserve Bank of India. Thereafter, on 16.10.2021, the applicant Bank issued Notice to the defendant. Despite service of Notice, the defendant failed and neglected to pay the outstanding dues of the applicant Bank.

¶20

Hence, this application is filed.

¶21

The defendant failed to appear despite service of summons. Hence, the application proceeded ex-parte against the defendant as per Order dated 08.07.2025 passed below Application (Exhibit-1).

¶22

The applicant Bank has filed Claim Affidavit of evidence (Exhibit-6) of Shri Vinod Narayan Godse, Manager and Principal Officer of the applicant Bank, and has produced on record the original loan transaction documents at Sr. Nos. AW-1 to AW-12 along with list (Exhibit 7), which corroborates the case of the applicant Bank.

¶23

I have heard arguments of the learned Advocate for the applicant Bank.

¶24

Sanap ( OA No. 738/2023 ) 3 of 5

¶25

Since the defendant failed to appear and contest the application, I find no reason to disbelieve evidence of the applicant Bank. Therefore, the applicant Bank is entitled for reliefs as claimed.

¶26

The applicant Bank has claimed future interest @14.75% per annum. However, considering the facts of the case, I am of the opinion that if future interest is granted @9% per annum (simple), it would be just and reasonable rate of interest.

¶27

Hence, I pass the following order.
