The material facts of complainant’s case may be stated as follows:<br /> That the complainant is a credit co-operative society and OP.1 who is working as a government servant, is an associate member of complainant society and that OP.1 had borrowed Rs.50,000/- on 10.09.2005 while she was working in Govt. General Hospital, Mulbagal agreeing to repay the loan and interest in 53 monthly installments of Rs.1,400/- and in default agreeing to pay overdue interest at one and a quarter time the ordinary rate of interest from the due date to the date of regularization of payment. Further that OP.1 was working under Medical Officer, Community Health Centre, Mulbagal who was Pay Disbursing Officer and that the said Officer had undertaken to deduct the installments becoming due out of the salary payable to OP.1 and to remit the same to complainant-society and that he failed to deduct the said installments as undertaken and to remit to complainant-society and that he had also undertaken to instruct the subsequent Pay Disbursing Officer to effect the deduction in the event of transfer of OP.1 to some other place. It is made out that for the present OP.1 has been working under OP.2, who is the present Pay Disbursing Officer. It is made out that OP.2 has also failed to deduct the installments as required. It is alleged that OP.1 has also failed to repay the loan and the installments. It is alleged that for the present certain amount is outstanding in the said loan account of OP.1. <br /> <br /> 3. In response to the notices issued by this Forum, OP.1 appeared and engaged the Counsel. But she has not filed version in spite of granting sufficient time. OP.2 remained absent though served with notice. OP.2 has also not filed any version. The complainant filed affidavit in support of the allegations made in the complaint. <br /> <br /> 4. The averments in the complaint may be believed to be true as the OPs did not file any version, though they were served with notices. The affidavit of complainant shows that the subsequent Pay Disbursing Officer namely OP.2 has not made such deduction which amounts to deficiency in service. Hence we pass the following:<br /> O R D E R<br /> <br /> The complaint is allowed. OP.2 is directed to deduct Rs.1,400/- per month out of the monthly salary payable to OP.1 and to credit the same to complainant-society till the closure of loan. The parties shall bear their own costs. <br /> <br /> Dictated to the Stenographer, corrected and pronounced in open Forum this the 12th day of May 2010.<br /> <br /> <br /> MEMBER MEMBER PRESIDENT<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
