This is a suit for recovery of Rs.7,97,341/88 paise.
2. In short, plaintiff came with a case that, plaintiff is a body

Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) Act 1970 and
having its head office at Benglurue and branch office at the address
mentioned in the title clause.
3. Plaintiff submitted that, defendant on or around 23.06.2015
requested plaintiff for the vehicle loan of Rs.9,09,000/. Plaintiff
sanctioned the said loan on 25.06.2015 and disbursed it on 30.06.2015.
At the time of sanctioning loan, defendant executed documents in
favour of plaintiff bank like Letter of Undertaking dt.25.06.2015, Deed
of Hypothecation Revehicle dt.25.06.2015 and defendant has
hypothecated the vehicle and executed Hypothecation Agreement in
favour of plaintiff.
4. Plaintiff further submitted that, defendant was irregular in
repayment of loan and in spite of repeated demands made by plaintiff,
defendant failed to regularized the account. Therefore, plaintiff issued

pay the outstanding amount to plaintiff. However, defendant failed to

comply the demand notice. Due to noncompliance of terms and
conditions of agreement, plaintiff bank seized the vehicle and sold the
same for an amount of Rs.1,50,000/, but still defendant due and
payable Rs.7,97,341/88 on 31.05.2018 with further interest. In spite
of request defendant did not make the payment of outstanding amount.
Therefore, plaintiff bank has no other way but to file this suit for
realization of outstanding amount. Hence, this suit.
5. Writ of summons came to be issued against defendant. Plaintiff
bank filed service affidavit at Exh.2. In spite of service defendant did
not care to appear before the Court. Hence, suit proceeded exparte

.. j/4 .. Suit No.2225/2018
Learned Advocate for Plaintiff bank filed pursis at Exh.16 and
closed their evidence side.
7. Heard learned Advocate for plaintiff bank. Perused the record
and submissions.
8. On perusal of application Form and necessary documents like
Hypothecation agreement and undertaking etc., it is clear that
defendant had applied for vehicle loan and after verifying the necessary
things plaintiff bank sanctioned vehicle loan of Rs.9,09,000/ to
defendant. Defendant has also hypothecated the said vehicle. However,
defendant did not adhere with terms and conditions of agreement and
defaulted to make payment to bank. Therefore, accordingly plaintiff
bank seized the vehicle and sold it to satisfy their claim. But as per
statement of account maintained by plaintiff bank, defendant has still
an outstanding amount pay to plaintiff bank. Thereafter also, in spite
of repeated requests and reminders defendant did not pay the balance
outstanding amount. Therefore, plaintiff bank filed this suit against
defendant.
9. In spite of service of writ of summons defendant did not take care
to appear and rebut the claim of plaintiff. Therefore, testimony of
plaintiffs' witness remain unchallenged and unrebutted. Even
documents also remain uncontroverted. There is nothing brought on
record to disbelieve the version of plaintiff to hold that the amount is
not disbursed and paid to the defendant and its repayment with interest
is complied with by defendant as per agreed terms and condition.
Hence, in such circumstances, claim of plaintiff has to be admitted.

.. j/5 .. Suit No.2225/2018
10. Defendant in spite of demand notice has not paid the loan
amount, which forced the plaintiff bank to approach this Court and
filed this suit for recovery of outstanding loan amount. Hence,
defendant has to pay outstanding amount with agreed rate of interest to
plaintiff bank and also costs of this suit needs to be saddled upon the
defendant. In such circumstances, suit deserves to be decreed with
costs with interest and hence, I pass the following order :
O R D E R
1. Suit is decreed with costs.
2. Defendant do pay Rs.7,97,341.88 along with interest
@ 09.07 percent per annum to the plaintiff bank from
the date of filing of this suit till realization of entire
