with future interest from the date of filing of the Original Application, i.e., 29.11.2022, until the date of realization of the entire outstanding dues from the Defendants. Brief facts of the application are as under:

¶27

The Applicant Bank states that the Defendant No. 1 had approached and requested the Applicant Bank for Term Loan Facility under Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme. Upon considering the request and financial needs of the Defendant, the Applicant Bank sanctioned Term loan under Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme of Rs. 17,66,000/- vide sanction letter dated 29.10.2020 on certain terms and conditions. The agreed rate of interest for the aforesaid loan facility was @ 9.25% p.a. with monthly rests. The Defendants also agreed to pay additional interest by way of liquidated damages in the event of any default in repayment.

¶28

In order to secure the aforesaid loan facility, the Defendant executed various loan documents in favour of the Applicant Bank.

(OA No 85/2023)

[AMBADAS]

These included sanction letter, demand promissory note,

¶33

composite deed of simple mortgage, request letter, simple

mortgage deed dated 11.12.2020 etc. Additionally defendant No.

¶35

2 to 4 stood as guarantors for defendant No. 1 and executed deed

¶36

of guarantee in favour of the applicant bank.

¶37

The Applicant Bank further contends that, in order to secure the

¶38

aforesaid loan facility, the Defendant created first charge over his

¶39

immovable property by executing simple mortgage deed bearing

¶40

Sr. No. 4365 dated 11.12.2020. The mortgage was created in

¶41

respect of the following properties:

¶42

i) All that piece and parcel of House No. 230 (New 331/4) admeasuring 495 Sq. ft. situated at village sevali, Tq. And Dist. Jalna, which is bounded as under:

¶51

East: Ramesh Gunaji West: Pralhad Chepate South: Tukaram Baburao, North: Boundary (Shiv).

¶52

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 01.01.2022. Therefore on 15.10.2022 the applicant bank issued legal notice to the defendants through their advocate. Despite service of Notices, the

(OA No 85/2023)

[AMBADAS]

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

¶57

The defendants failed to appear in matter though they were duly served. Hence, the defendants were proceeded ex-parte as per Order dated 30.12.2023.

¶58

The applicant Bank has filed Claim Affidavit of evidence at Exhibit-4 of Shri. Pratik Tarasaheb Deshmukh, Branch Manager of the applicant Bank, and has produced on record the original loan transaction documents as Annexure A-1 to A-19 along with list of documents Exh.5 which corroborates the case of the applicant Bank.

¶59

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

¶60

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 85/2023)

[AMBADAS]

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

¶65

The applicant Bank has claimed future interest @ 9.25 % p.a. from the date of filing i.e. 29.11.2022 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 @ 9% per annum (simple), it would be just and reasonable rate of interest.
