In these petitions, the petitioners are questioning the legality and  validity of the impugned certificate dated 16.2.2001 as per Annexures  D1 to D11 issued by the 1st respondent and the notices dated  14.5.2001 as per Annexures E1 to E11 issued by the 2nd  respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. These petitioners are the agriculturists and availed loan fromthe 3rd respondent-Bank by hypothecating their lands for developing  plantation at industrial level. Due to the failure of crops and also the  failure of borewell dug by them, they have requested the concerned  authorities for waiving off the loan and gave detailed representation.  In pursuance of their request\/representations, the concerned officers  of the respondent No. 3 has visited the spot and gave report narrating  the ground reality of the lands held by these petitioners as per  Annexures- A,B and C respectively. Be that as it may. In view of the  non payment of the instalments of the loan availed by the petitioners,  the 3rd respondent has referred the matter to the 1st respondent.  The 1st respondent has directed the 2nd respondent to initiate  recovery procedings. The 2nd respondent has issued notices to the  petitioners for recovery of the due amount payable by them, without  following the procedure prescribed under the relevant provisions of  the Karnataka Agricultural Credit Operations and Miscellaneous  Provisions Act, 1974, and without giving any opportunity or  conducting the enquiry. The entire proceedings initiated by the  respondents are vitiated for non following the mandatory provisions  of the Act, as referred to above. Feeling aggrieved by the impugned  certificates as per Annexures D1 to D 11 issued by the 1st  respondent and notices issued by the 2nd respondent as per  Annexures E1 to E11, the petitioners have presented these Writ  Petitions.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners, the learnedGovernment pleader for R1 &amp; 2 and the learned Counsel for R3 at  a considerable length of time.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. The principal submission canvassed by the leaned Counselfor the petitioners is that, the recovery proceedings initiated against  these petitioners is without following the mandatory provisions as  envisaged under the Karnataka Agricultural Credit operations and  Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1974 (hereinafter called as &#8220;Act&#8221;).  Further, he has vehemently submitted that the respondents have  not conducted any enquiry nor given any opportunity to the petitioners  to putforth their case and proceeded to issue notices for recovery of  the amount due from the petitioners. To substantiate his submission,  he has placed reliance on Section 12 of the Act. Therefore, he has  submitted that the impugned certificates and notices issued by the  respondents 1 &amp; 2 are in violation of the principles of natural justice  and they have not at all applied their mind and straightaway issued  the certificates and notices in the printed proforma. This fact itself  discloses that no enquiry as such was conducted by the respondents  nor they have given any reasonable opportunity to the petitioners.  Therefore, he has submitted that the certificates and the notices  issued by the respondents 1 and 2 are liable to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. Per contra, the learned Counsel for the 3rd respondent, inter-alia, contended and justified the impugned certificates and  notices issued by the respondents 1 and 2 as per Annexures-D1 to  D11 and E1 to E11. The learned Counsel for the 3rd respondent  has submitted that the notices were issued to the petitioners and  the petitioners were not present before the authorities or filed their  objections. In view of the non filing of the objection by the petitioners,  the 1st respondent has proceeded to issue the certificates for  recovery and in pursuance of that certificates, the 2nd respondent  has issued notices for recovery against the petitioners after following  the procedures prescribed in the Act. There is no violation or illegality  committed by the authorities in issuing the impugned certificates and  notices. Therefore, he has submitted that the Writ Petitions are liable  to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. After careful perusal of the entire materials available beforethis Court, especially, the impugned certificates and the notices issued  by the respondents 1 and 2, they clearly establishes beyond all  reasonable doubt that printed proforma has been issued by filling  up the blanks which shows that the respondents have not followed  the procedures prescribed under the Act, as stated supra. Therefore,  in my considered view, the impugned certificates and notices issued  by the respondents 1 and 2 as per Annexures -D1 and D11 and E1  and E11 are liable to be set aside for non compliance of the  mandatory provisions as per Section 12 of the Act. As per Section  12 of the Act, it is clear that the concerned authorities after giving  the parties reasonable opportunity of being heard, may issue  certificate of recovery of the amount. But in the instant case, after  careful perusal of the certificates and notices issued by the  respondents 1 and 2, no enquiry as such was conducted and no  opportunity has been provided to the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>7. It is significant to note that in pursuance of the failure of thecrops and due to draught in that area, the petitioners have given  their representations to the respondents for waiving off the loan. In  pursuance of the said representations\/request, the competent  authority made the spot inspection to find out the ground reality and   ILR Mallappa &amp; Ors. vs The A.R. of Co-op. So. &amp; Ors. 2979  to submit their report. After assessing the ground reality of the lands,  the concerned authorities have submitted their report as per  Annexures A to C. When these materials are very much available  on record, the respondents 1 and 2 were not justified in issuing  certificates and notices to the petitioners for recovery of the loan  amount, which shows that without application of mind the respondents  1 and 2 have issued the impugned certificates and notices. Therefore,  I am of the view that, this fact itself suffice for this Court to set aside  the impugned certificates and notices issued by the respondents 1  and 2 as per Annexures D1 to D11 and E1 to E11, without going  further into the merits and demerits of the case.\n<\/p>\n<p>8. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case asstated above and taking into consideration the factual and legal  aspect of the matter, I do not find any justification to sustain the  impugned certificates and notices issued by the respondents 1 and  2 as per Annexures &#8211; D1 to D11 and E1 to E11 and they are liable  to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>9. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions are allowed. The impugned  certificates dated 16.2.2001 as per Annexures D1 to D11 issued by  the 1st respondent and the impugned notices dated 14.5.2001 issued  by the 2nd respondents as per Annexures E1 to E11 are hereby set  aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>The matters stand remitted back to the respondents 1 and 2 for  fresh consideration with the following directions.\n<\/p>\n<p>(i) The respondents 1 and 2 herein are directed to proceed withthe matter in strict compliance with Section 12 of the Karnataka  Agricultural Credit Co-operations and Miscellaneous Provisions Act,  and to decide the same in accordance with law, after giving  opportunity to the petitioners and the contesting respondent, as  expeditiously as possible.\n<\/p>\n<p>(ii) All the contentions of the petitioners and the contestingrespondent are kept open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karnataka High Court Mallappa And Ors. vs The Assistant Registrar Of Co-Op. &#8230; on 1 July, 2003 Equivalent citations: ILR 2003 KAR 2976 Author: Patil Bench: N Patil ORDER Patil, J. 1.
