After availing the loan, defendants did not adhere to the financial discipline and committed default in payment of instalments and repayment of the loan and accordingly the accounts of the borrowers were declared as Non-Performing Assets (N.P.A.) on 31.03.2019 as per RBI Guidelines.

The applicant has maintained the loan ledger extract and the entries posted therein are made in the usual and ordinary course of the banking business.
Since, defendants failed and neglected to make the payment, the applicant was left with no other alternate but to file the Transferred Original Application which was presented on 25.10.2019.
The applicant has filed affidavit (exhibit-30) in lieu of examination in chief of Mr Vibhor Sachdev, Authorised Officer of the Applicant Bank and list of documents (exhibit-31) thereby adducing in evidence the documents at AW-1 to AW-26, which are admitted in evidence, read, recorded and exhibited.

The Tribunal has scrutinised and examined the allegations contained in the Transferred Original Application and analysed the evidence adduced by the applicant which has gone unchallenged, uncontroverted and unrebutted.
Upon careful scrutiny and the examination of the Transferred Original Application, analysing the evidence and giving due weightage to the documentary evidence adduced by the applicant, the Tribunal views that there is no reason to disbelieve the claim made by the applicant bank.
In view of the observations made hereinabove, Transferred Original Application filed by the applicant deserves to be allowed.
