**FINAL ORDERS**
The present Transfer Application is filed by the Applicant Bank under Section 19 of the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks & Financial Institutions Act, 1993, seeking
recovery of an amount of Rs.15,67,029/- from the Defendant with interest and cost.
2. The case of the applicant bank that Defendant had approached the applicant bank for financial assistance for his business purpose. The applicant bank considered his request and sanctioned ATL loan of Rs.5,00,000/- vide sanction letter dated 06.10.2015 and said loan was rephrased on 06.12.2010 and a sum of Rs.6,40,000/- was transferred to another account on the same terms and conditions of earlier account. Further, the Defendant has executed requisite and necessary loan related documents in favour of the applicant bank for the above said loans. The defendant has agreed to repay the said loan as per the terms and conditions of the applicant bank. After availing the loan, the defendant failed to regularize the loan accounts and also failed to pay the installments and did not come forward to repay the balance outstanding. Hence, the present TA. The applicant bank has produced the documents in favour of its case viz., loan application, sanction letter, hypothecation agreement, registered
mortgage deed, revival letters and certified copy of account extracts etc.,
3. Further the Defendant agreed to repay the above loans with variable rate of interest, as applicable from time to time as per the directions of the Head Office/Central Office of the Applicant Bank and penal interest in case of default and keep the account regular by paying installments as and when due to the satisfaction of the Applicant Bank, as detailed in the TA by the Applicant Bank.
4. The Defendant after utilizing all the entire loan proceeds for the above said purposes has failed to make the repayments of the loan dues as agreed and he has not serviced the interest thereon as per the terms and conditions agreed by Defendant. The Defendant has become chronic defaulter in the loan accounts and not taken any steps to clear the dues and hence the recovery process is initiated to recover the dues.
5. In the light of these factors, it is contended by the Applicant Bank that, Defendant is liable to pay a total sum of Rs. 15,67,029/- .
1. 6. After filing the TA, summon was sent and served on the Defendant through RPAD, and when Defendant was called out, defendant remained absent and placed ex-parte.
2. 7. To prove the case of the Applicant Bank, its Manager has filed his affidavit by way of evidence and same was considered as evidence of AW-1 and marked at Ex. A-1 and list of documents came to be marked as Ex.A-2 and 10 documents came to be marked as Ex.A-3 to Ex.A-12.
3. 8. No evidence on behalf of the Defendant.
4. 9. Arguments of Learned Counsel for the Plaintiff/applicant bank heard and perused the records of the case.
5. 10. Following points arise for my consideration:
1. 1) Whether Plaintiff/applicant bank proves its case as contended in the plaint/application?
2. 2) What order?
6. 11. For the following reasons, I answer the above referred points in the following manner:
REASONS
12. The Manager of the applicant bank came to be examined as AW-1. His affidavit by way of evidence reiterates the facts pleaded in the plaint and his affidavit is also corroborated by the above referred Ex.A-3 to Ex.A-12 which clearly establish the case of the applicant bank to allow the present TA. Added to this, the Defendant has remained absent and hence it is to be construed that he has admitted the entire case pleaded by the applicant bank as sought in the present TA.
13. Therefore, for these reasons, present TA is to be allowed with costs as sought by the applicant bank.
