The Applicant Bank examined Kalva Rajayaswanth, Legal Manager, as AW-1 and marked 12 documents through him as Ex. A.1 to Ex. A.12.

¶13

The point that arises for consideration is:-

¶14

Whether the Applicant Bank is enti ed for the claim made in the OA against the Defendants and OA schedule properties?

¶15

As stated supra, the Defendants remained ex-parte. The Evidence Affidavit coupled with the recitals in the documents viz., Exs. A.1 to A.12 marked on behalf of the Applicant Bank clinches the claim of the Applicant Bank against the Defendants. Hence, I hold that the Defendants are joinuy and severally liable to pay the OA claim to the Applicant Bank with future interest and costs.

In the result, the present Original Application No.736/2O26 is allowed as under: -
