Shri S. L. Behera, President: - The brief facts of the complainant’s case is that, the complainant availed loan of Rs.3,03,399/- only excluding interest from the O.P.on dtd.20.08.2014 and purchased one truck bearing Regn. No.OR-15K-5053 which was to be returned till dt.20.08.2018 in 48 nos. of monthly installments. The complainant has paid Rs.4,19,123/- only till dated 26.12.2017 but the O.P is demanding Rs.4,29,123/- only without showing any proper calculation or copy of agreement, hence this case.   

The O.P. appeared through his counsel after being noticed and submitted that the complainant is a defaulter in making payments of installments. The complainant is in due of Rs.4,11,033/- only as on dated 05.07.2018. The O.P denied all the allegations imposed by the complainant and prayed for dismissal of the case.

Heard and perused the case record along with materials available. The complainant was financed a vehicle bearing Regn. No. OR-15K-5053  by the O.P. for amount of Rs.3,03,399/- only which was to be refunded with interest from 20.09.2014 to 20.08.2018.  As per the statement of accounts dtd. 05.07.2018 the complainant was to pay Rs.4,11,034/- only.  

The said vehicle is in the possession of the complainant and as per the statement of accounts the loan period will be expired on dt.20.08.2018. The complainant is ready to clear all the outstanding dues where the O.P is also entitled. The O.P has not supplied the proper calculations of loan and any copy of agreement to the complainant. 

In the above observations we are in considered opinion to allow partly the complaint case with directions to the O.P to issue afresh statement of accounts in favour of the complainant and receive the outstanding dues amount from the complainant.

            Accordingly the case is disposed of.

Order pronounced in the open court today the 8^th day of August’ 2018. Free copy of this order shall be supplied to the parties as per rule. 

           I Agree                          I  Agree.
