The present Original Application in short (OA) has been filed under section 19 of Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act 1993 for seeking issuance of Recovery Certificate against the defendant for Rs.25,00,000/-(Rupees Twenty-Five Lakhs Only) with further interest thereon from the date of filing the Application till realization from the Defendant.

¶19

The Defendant availed Rs.25,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Five Lakhs Only) under grant Term Loan under Xpress Credit Loan i.e. Personal Loan, by executing all the relevant loan documents.

¶20

It is also the case of the applicant that, in view of the above financed credit facility, the defendant executed necessary loan documents and salary slips with consent letter.

¶21

It is further contended that, despite availing the credit facility, agreeing to service the loan amount promptly and regularly, the defendant failed in complying the same, resulting in default in repayment and consequentially turning the loan account as NPA.

¶22

In the above circumstances, the applicant approached this Tribunal by filing this OA seeking issuance of Recovery Certificate for the amount due in the account.

¶32

The evidences put forth by the applicant were found admissible and are sufficient to prove availment of credit facility as stated in the OA, creation of security interest as claimed by the applicant bank and the defaults committed in the account. The liability of the
