3/ 01/04/2011 It is the case of the petitioner that the shop

and the goods in respect of which he had taken the

loan from the Bank was insured with the respondent

Insurance Company. The insurance premium was to

be paid by the Bank after deduction from the loan

account of the petitioner.

An untoward incident took place causing loss

to the petitioner. He desires that in the proceedings

against him under the SARFAESI Act, the Bank

should adjust the outstandings with the insurance

amount payable for the untoward incident.

The counter affidavit filed by the Bank and

the Insurance Company is completely silent on this

aspect.

The Court requires the Bank and the

Insurance Company both to file separate affidavits

bringing on record the insurance policy. The counter

affidavit must specifically state the duration of the

policy, the premium amount and whether it was
2

deposited by the Bank or whether the Bank was in

default.

The matter is passed over.
