Sri S.K.Sahoo,President.
This is a complaint U/s. 12 of C.P.Act, 1986 filed by the complainant against the opp.parties ,.claiming some reliefs.
2. The case of the complainant is that Late Hemanta Ku.Jena is his father to whom the opp.parties have disbursed Krushi Loan for fishery and poultry. The complainant was the guarantor for sanction of the loan in favour of his father. The opp.party No.1 after receiving all the required documents such as voter identity card, valuation certificate along with property security and a recurring deposit started processing of the loan . He took processing fee, documentation charges and signatures of the complainant on certain forms and agreement and disbursed the loan amount of Rs. 6,00,000.00 on 28.03.2006 in favour of the father of the complainant bearing loan No. 052003720600008. Annexure- 1 is the photo copy of the letter issued by opp.party No.1 in favour of the father of the complainant, asking for submission of required documents. The opp.parties have not supplied the copy of the loan agreement, loan sanction letter ,forms or money receipts charges for the documents. The opp.parties have also not supplied the copy of documents to the father of the complainant , in which they have recommended the Govt. authority for sanction of subsidy. The father of the complainant repaid the loan till February,2015 in which month he died due to an road accident. Due to death of Hemanta the father of complainant there was no further repayment of loan . Annexure- 2 is the photo copy of the death certificate. Soon after the death of Hemanta the complainant being the guarantor informed opp.party No.1 regarding the death of Hemanta and requested him to co-operate to clear up the balance loan amount by one time settlement. Inspite of repeated approach the opp.parties did not co-operate the complainant nor supplied any documents to him . After a lapse of two years i.e on 11.09.2017 the opp.party No.1 issued a notice in Form No. F-126 to the complainant . Soon after receipt of the said notice the complainant appeared before the opp.party No.1 and prayed for one time settlement. Annexure- 3 is the photo copy of the Form No. F-126. After several requests the opp.party No.1 in the month of November, 2017 informed the complainant that late Hemant has repaid an amount of Rs.2,44,666.00 and the opp.party No.2 has adjusted Rs.89,000.00 from his R.D account . After receiving such information from opp.party No.1 the complainant being the guarantor again approached the opp.party No.1 for one time settlement but he refused. The opp.party No.1 demanded the total loan amount along with upto date interest and other illegal charges and threatened to sale the mortgaged property , if it is not paid. The action taken by the opp.parties against the complainant is illegal and with ulterior motive. Hence this complaint.
3. Inspite of notice issued to both the opp.parties through Regd. post with A.D on 17.01.2018 , the opp.parties neither filed show cause nor participated in the hearing. Only at the time of argument the complainant appeared and argument was heard from him on 07.06.2023 and the case is posted for judgement.
4. The case is disposed off basing on the complaint petition and the documents filed by the complainant. In the complaint petition the complainant admitted that his father late Hemant Ku.Jena has availed a Krushi loan for fishery & poultry firm from opp.parties ,in which he was the guarantor .It is also admitted by him that his father has repaid the loan upto his accidental death in the month of February 2015.Annexure-2 shows that the father of complainant dies in a road accident on 28.02.2015. It is also admitted by the complainant that a notice was issued to him by the bank of the opp.parties in Form No. F-126 . The complainant has filed the photo copy of the said letter .On perusal of the said letter it appears that an amount of Rs.7,18,165.00 along with interest was demanded from him by the opp.parties , he being the guarantor for sanction of the loan to his father. So admittedly a huge amount of outstanding loan is pending towards loan in the name of his father .He being the guarantor is liable to pay the same. From the materials on record it is crystal clear that there is no deficiency in service by the opp.parties. One time settlement is a prerogative of the financing institution i.e the bank of the opp.parties. The Commission can not compel the opp.parties to extend the benefit of one time settlement.
5. Hence order :-
: O R D E R :
The case be and the same is dismissed on exparte against opp.parties.
