¶55

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. Therefore on 21.07.2022 the applicant bank issued legal notice to the defendants through their advocate. Despite service of Notices, the defendants failed and

(OA No.391/2022)

Page 6 of 11

[AMBADAS]

neglected to repay the outstanding dues of the applicant Bank. Hence, this application is filed.

¶60

The defendants failed to appear in matter though they were served through summons. Hence, the defendants were proceeded ex-parte as per Order dated 12.09.2023.

¶61

The applicant Bank has filed Evidence Affidavit of evidence at Exhibit-4 of Mr. Rahul s/o. Nathaji Potphode, Power of Attorney Holder of the applicant Bank, and has produced on record the original loan transaction documents as Annexure A-1 to A-22 along with list of documents Exh.5 which corroborates the case of the applicant Bank.

¶62

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

¶63

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.391/2022)

Page 7 of 11

[AMBADAS]

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

¶68

The applicant Bank has claimed future interest @14.25% p. a. from the date of filing i.e. 22.07.2022 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 @ 10% per annum (simple), it would be just and reasonable rate of interest.
