¶19

Brief facts of the application are as under:

¶20

The Applicant Bank states that the Defendant had approached and requested to the Applicant Bank for loan facility for Business Purpose. Upon considering the request and financial needs of the Defendant, the Applicant Bank Sanctioned Working Capital Limit of Rs. 25,00,000/- vide sanction letter dated 12.09.2019 on certain terms and conditions. The agreed rate of interest for

[AMBADAS]

aforesaid loan facility was @ 9.25% per annum with monthly rests. The Defendant also agreed to pay additional interest @2%

¶25

by way of liquidated damages in the event of any default in repayment.

¶26

In order to secure the aforesaid loan facility, the Defendant executed various loan documents in favor of the Applicant Bank. These included sanction letter, loan agreement, letter of undertaking etc. in favor of applicant bank.

¶27

The Applicant Bank further contends that, in order to secure the aforesaid loan facility, the Defendant executed hypothecation agreement thereby hypothecating stock and receivables available

¶28

in site or on transit or other own any place by borrowers/respondents.

¶29

The applicant bank contended that the defendant has failed to keep his promise and commitments agreed by him with regard to due repayment of the loan amount. The defendant failed to operate the loan account properly and failed to pay the agreed

(OA No.184/2024)

[AMBADAS]

rate of interest as per terms and conditions of the sanction letter. Thereafter, the applicant bank repeatedly made demand of loan amount and called upon the defendant to pay with the agreed rate of interest thereon, but the defendant failed and neglected to pay the same. The loan account of the defendant became irregular and classified as NPA on 20.12.2022. Therefore, on 10.10.2023 the applicant bank issued legal Notice to the defendant. The defendant failed and neglected to repay the outstanding dues of the applicant Bank. Hence, this application is filed.

¶34

The defendant failed to appear in matter though he was served through court commissioner. Hence, the defendant was proceeded ex-parte as per Order dated 02.06.2025.

¶35

The applicant Bank has filed Claim Affidavit of evidence at Exhibit-4 of Abhay S/o. Shridhar Boradkar, Manager of the applicant Bank, and has produced on record the original loan transaction documents as Exh. A-1 to A-13 along with list of documents Exh.5 which corroborates the case of the applicant Bank.

[AMBADAS]

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

¶40

Since the defendant failed to appear and to file the written statement and did not contest the application, I find no reason to disbelieve the unrebutted evidence of the applicant Bank. Therefore, the applicant Bank is entitled for the reliefs as claimed.

¶41

The applicant Bank has claimed charge over hypothecated property of the borrower.

¶42

The applicant Bank has claimed future interest at @12.75% with monthly rests from the date of filing i.e. 04.11.2023 of this application till realization of the claim amount. However, considering the facts of the case, I am of the opinion that if future interest is granted @ 8% per annum (simple), it would be just and reasonable rate of interest.
