[AMBADAS]

That, the defendant No. 1 and 2 had approached to the Applicant bank and requested to sanction Term Loan and Crop Loan. Upon considering the request and need of the defendants, the Applicant Bank Sanctioned Term loan of Rs. 6,00,000/- another Term Loan of Rs. 2,45,000/- & Crop Loan of Rs. 1,50,000/- vide sanction letter dated 16.09.2014 on certain terms and conditions. The agreed rate of interest was @ 13.20% @13.20% & @10.20% p.a. respectively with monthly rests. The defendants also agreed to pay an additional interest by way of liquidated damages @ 2% p.a. in case of default in repayment.

¶29

In order to secure the aforesaid loan facilities, the Defendants executed various loan documents in favour of the Applicant Bank, including the sanction letter, hypothecation agreement, demand promissory note, registered mortgage deed bearing daybook no. 4363 dated 24.09.2014.

guarantor for Defendant No.1 & 2 and executed a Deed of

¶34

Guarantee in favour of the Applicant Bank.

¶35

The Applicant Bank further contends that, in order to secure the Loan sanctioned to them, the Defendants created first charge over

¶36

their immovable property by executing a registered mortgage

¶37

deed bearing daybook no. 4363 dated 24.09.2014, in favour of the

¶38

Applicant Bank. The mortgage was created in respect of the

¶39

following properties –

¶40

i) All that piece and parcel of property agricultural land admeasuring 1 H 00 R out of Gat No. 80, situated at Village Mungsapur, Tq. Kannad, Dist. Chh. Sambhajinagar, which is bounded as under:

[AMBADAS]

The applicant bank contended that the defendants have failed to

¶49

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 defendant became irregular and classified as NPA on 30.06.2017. Therefore on 20.02.2025 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.

¶50

The defendants failed to appear in matter though they were served through RPAD. Hence, the defendants were proceeded exparte as per Order dated 06.01.2026.

The applicant Bank has filed Claim Affidavit of evidence at Exhibit-04 of Mr. Vivek Kumar, POA of the applicant Bank, and has produced on record the original loan transaction documents as Exh. A-1 to A-29 as per list of documents Exh.05 which corroborates the case of the applicant Bank.

¶55

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

¶56

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.

¶57

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

¶58

The applicant Bank has claimed future interest @13.20%, @13.20 & @10.20% per annum respectively on loans from the date of filing i.e. 30.06.2025 of this application till realization of the claim

(OA No.469/2025)

[AMBADAS]

amount. However, considering the facts of the case, I am of the opinion that if future interest is granted @ 7% per annum (simple) on outstanding amount, it would be just and reasonable rate of interest.
