While he was in service, he had applied for a housing loan and<\/p>\n<p>it was sanctioned as Ext.P1 order dated 24.10.89. The terms of the loan<\/p>\n<p>have been set forth in the annexure appended thereto. Admittedly, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had repaid the entire amounts covered by the said loan prior to<\/p>\n<p>his voluntary retirement on 30.09.03. After discharging the entire liability<\/p>\n<p>arising out of the said loan transaction, the petitioner had requested the<\/p>\n<p>authorities for the release of the title deeds in relation to the mortgaged<\/p>\n<p>property.    Despite repeated requests, no action was taken by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents for that behalf and it was in the said circumstances that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner approached this court by filing the above writ petition mainly<\/p>\n<p>with the prayer to direct the respondents 1 and 2 to return the title deeds<\/p>\n<p>pertaining to the mortgaged property.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">\n<p id=\"p_2\">      2.     After the receipt of notice in this writ petition, Ext.R1 notice<\/p>\n<p>was issued by the respondent to the petitioner. Consequently, the writ<\/p>\n<p>petition was amended to assail the said demand notice as well. Ext.R1<\/p>\n<p>reads thus:-\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\"><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">W.P.(C) NO.2628 of 2006              2<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_1\"><p>            &#8220;The Loanee insures the house with the Life<br \/>\n            Insurance Corporation of India at his cost<br \/>\n            immediately     after  the   completion    of   the<br \/>\n            construction for a sum, not less than the amount of<br \/>\n            the advance against loss or change by fire. The<br \/>\n            Policy of the Insurance should be deposited in this<br \/>\n            office and the employee shall also pay regularly<br \/>\n            the premium in respect of the said insurance and<br \/>\n            will when required produce the mortgagee the<br \/>\n            premium receipt for inspection&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_1\"><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p_4\">As is evident from Ext.R1, the same was issued only after 16.3.06 where as<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner had retired from service voluntarily on 30.09.03. There is<\/p>\n<p>absolutely no case for the respondents that while the petitioner was in<\/p>\n<p>service he was issued with any such kind of notice raising any such<\/p>\n<p>demand. A bare perusal of the statement filed on behalf of the respondents<\/p>\n<p>in June 2006 would reveal the real intention behind the insistence for<\/p>\n<p>insuring a building built by availing a loan from the respondent. The<\/p>\n<p>relevant paragraph reads thus:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_2\"><p>                   &#8220;It is submitted that one of the conditions<br \/>\n            for having availed the House Building Advance<br \/>\n            from Railways is that the Mortgagor shall<br \/>\n            immediately insure the house at his own cost with<br \/>\n            the Life Insurance Corporation of India for a sum<br \/>\n            not less than the amount of the advance and shall<br \/>\n            keep it so insured against loss or damage by fire,<br \/>\n            flood and lightning as provided in the said rules,<br \/>\n            till the advance is fully repaid to the Mortgagee<br \/>\n            and deposit the policy of insurance with the<br \/>\n            Mortgagee&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_3\"><p>                                     (emphasis supplied)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">W.P.(C) NO.2628 of 2006                 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_4\"><p>       3.    A scanning of Annexure R1 in the light of the statement made<\/p>\n<p>in para 4 would reveal that the insistence to insure the constructions was<\/p>\n<p>made only to safeguard the interest of the railways till the repayment of the<\/p>\n<p>amount availed by way of loan by the mortgagee. Admittedly, in this case,<\/p>\n<p>prior to his retirement, he had repaid the entire amount due under the loan<\/p>\n<p>transaction in question and no amount was outstanding as on the date of<\/p>\n<p>his voluntary retirement. In view of the specific statement as extracted<\/p>\n<p>above, I find no justification in the action on the part of the respondents in<\/p>\n<p>demanding Rs.12,250\/- towards penal rent on house building advance vide<\/p>\n<p>Ext.R1. This has been issued belatedly years after the retirement of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, that too, after the receipt of notice from this Court. It is also<\/p>\n<p>evident that the employer was not put in jeopardy on account of the action<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner in not insuring the construction made by availing the loan<\/p>\n<p>in question. It could have been a subject matter for disciplinary action<\/p>\n<p>while he was in service. However, at this distance of time and in view of<\/p>\n<p>the non-occurance of any monitary loss on account of such inaction on the<\/p>\n<p>part of the petitioner no action can be brought against him.             The<\/p>\n<p>respondents are, therefore, bound to return the title deeds deposited by him<\/p>\n<p>while availing the housing loan sanctioned as per Ext.P1 order dated<\/p>\n<p>24.1.1989.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p_5\">\n<p id=\"p_6\">       4.
