Court rules in favor of petitioner on interest liability issue but orders payment within specified timeline. Corporation to calculate interest promptly.
The Court found that the petitioner was not liable for interest due to confusion caused by the Corporation's document. However, the petitioner was directed to pay interest on the remaining amount and the amount already deposited. The Corporation was ordered to calculate the interest within ten days. The petitioner was given two weeks to pay the calculated interest and the remaining amount, failing which the Corporation could claim interest and take recovery steps. The Court disposed of the writ application, resolving the non-redeeming of the mortgage and return of title documents issue.
Issues: Non-redeeming of mortgage and return of title documents
Analysis: 1. The petitioner filed a writ petition due to the non-redeeming of the mortgage and the failure to return the title documents. The petitioner claimed that the entire loan amount was paid, as indicated in a letter from the branch manager. However, the Corporation's records showed outstanding dues. The Corporation was directed to verify the account properly, and it was revealed that a sum of Rs. 79,888.03 remained unpaid as of September 22, 1983, even though the petitioner had deposited Rs. 50,000 towards the amount. The petitioner failed to pay the remaining Rs. 29,888.03 due to a misconception created by a document provided by the Corporation.
2. The Corporation argued that the petitioner would be liable to pay up-to-date interest on the outstanding amount. The Court found that the petitioner should not be held responsible for the interest due to the confusion caused by the Corporation's document. However, the petitioner was directed to pay interest on the remaining amount of Rs. 29,888.03 and the Rs. 50,000 deposited from April 4, 1983, to September 22, 1983. The Corporation was instructed to calculate the interest and provide a copy to the petitioner's counsel within ten days. The petitioner was given two weeks to pay the calculated interest and the remaining amount; failure to do so would entitle the Corporation to claim interest and take steps for recovery.
3. The Court disposed of the writ application based on the above findings and directions, resolving the issue of non-redeeming the mortgage and return of title documents.
