                   JUDGMENT

Petitioners 2 and 3 are guarantors to the first

petitioner for a transaction under which certain

facilities were availed from the fourth

respondent. There were agreements under Section

37 of the KCS Act. The petitioners allege that

respondents 1 to 3 have effected recoveries in

terms of Section 37, however that, the amounts

are not being paid to the fourth respondent and

that this has resulted in the failure to close

the transactions. Under such circumstances, this

Court has repeatedly held that the first

respondent is duty bound to pay to the creditor

society, in this case, the fourth respondent, all

amounts recovered from the debtors and the first

respondent is also to suffer the interest

component adding on to that amount as would be

WP(C)5220/2009 -: 2 :-

otherwise payable by the debtors.

For the foregoing reasons, this writ petition is

ordered directing that respondents 1 to 3 will

ensure that all amounts recovered from the

petitioners at the instructions of the fourth

respondent shall be released to the fourth

respondent with interest that would run on it as

claimed by the fourth respondent in terms of the

contract between the fourth respondent and the

petitioners. Such amounts shall be released

within a period of one month of the fourth

respondent intimating the second respondent the

amounts so due in terms of this judgment.

JUDGE.
