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 18.03.2003 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 has been working under OP.2 who is Pay Disbursing Officer and that OP.2 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 OP.2 failed to deduct the said installments as undertaken and to remit to complainant-society. 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 filed version admitting the borrowing of loan, but he contended that the interest charged was at excessive rate and he is not in a position to pay the entire dues in a lump sum and he prayed for concession. OP.2 appeared through Advocate but did not file 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. OP.1 who was present on 25.03.2010 submitted that Rs.1,400/- per month may be ordered to be deducted from his salary. The undertaking letter dated 18.03.2003 given by OP.2 and the violation of it amounts to deficiency in service on the part of OP.2. Hence we pass the following:<br /> <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 30th day of March 2010.<br /> <br /> <br /> MEMBER MEMBER PRESIDENT<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
