¶20

Brief facts of the application are as under:

¶21

The Applicant Bank states that the Defendant No. 1 & 2 approached and requested the Applicant Bank seeking financial assistance. Upon considering the request and financial needs of

[AMBADAS]

the Defendants, the Applicant Bank Sanctioned Home loan facility

¶26

of Rs. 32,00,000/- vide sanction letter dated 02.02.2021 on certain terms and conditions. The agreed rate of interest for the aforesaid loan was @7.10% p.a. with monthly rests. The Defendants also agreed to pay additional interest @2% by way of liquidated damages in the event of any default in repayment.

¶27

In order to secure the aforesaid loan facilities, the Defendants executed various loan documents in favour of the Applicant Bank. These included sanction letter, registered mortgage deed bearing daybook no. 736 dated 08.02.2021, letter of undertaking, demand promissory note, letter of continuity & hypothecation agreement. Etc., in favour of the Applicant Bank.

¶28

The Applicant Bank further contends that, in order to secure the aforesaid loan facility, the Defendant No. 1 & 2 created first charge over their immovable property by executing registered mortgage deed bearing daybook no. 736 dated 08.02.2021 in favour of the Applicant Bank. The mortgage was created in respect of the following property-

¶33

The applicant bank contended that the defendants have failed to keep their promise and commitments agreed by them with regard to due repayment of the loan amount. The defendants failed to operate the loan account properly and failed to pay the agreed 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 defendants to pay with the agreed rate of interest thereon, but the defendants failed and neglected to pay the same. The loan account of the defendants became irregular and classified as NPA on 19.01.2025. Therefore, on 17.05.2025 the applicant bank issued legal notice to the defendants through their advocate. Despite service of Notices, the defendants failed and neglected to repay the outstanding dues of the applicant Bank. Hence, this application is filed.

The defendants failed to appear in matter though they were served through RPAD. Hence, the defendants were proceeded exparte as per Order dated 22.01.2026.

¶38

The applicant Bank has filed Claim Affidavit of evidence at Exhibit-4 of Manoj Bhagwat Chavhan, Branch Manager of the applicant Bank, and has produced on record the original loan transaction documents as Exh. A-1 to A-12 along with list of documents Exh.5 which corroborates the case of the applicant Bank.

¶39

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

¶40

Since the defendants failed to appear and 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.

(OA No.345/2025)

[AMBADAS]

The applicant Bank has claimed charge over immovable properties of the borrower which are mortgaged in favour of the applicant bank.

¶45

The applicant Bank has claimed future interest @11% p. a. on term loan from the date of filing i.e. 29.05.2025 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 @ 9% per annum (simple), it would be just and reasonable rate of interest.
