7. Not going into the merits of the case, this Tribunal based on execution of documents and availing of loan funds by the borrower and creation of",,

mortgage over immovable property, the loan transaction has been proved and admittedly as it is for agricultural purposes, the interest is chargeable",,

predominantly either half yearly or yearly rests, definitely not compoundable on month to month basis as that of a commercial loan.",,

8. Applicant Bank has taken shelter under mortgage claim but however did not satisfy levy of penal interest. Admittedly the advance is an agricultural,,

advance recoverable in half-yearly instalments as per contractual terms and conditions. Applicant bank did not plead anywhere about the repayments,,

or what made it not initiate recovery action from the time of default, whereas loans were continuously extended from 2009 to 2011 and had declared",,

as NPA in 2012 and 2014 on different dates contrary to RBI guidelines, while levying penal interest on loans in the name of default of borrower.",,

9. As applicant bank had established its O.A. claim which was never disputed by defendants, it would be imperative for this Tribunal to award the",,

Recovery Certificate as the Tribunal had possessed jurisdiction and that the claim of applicant bank is within limitation as the O.A. claim is based on,,

mortgage. For the above reasons, O.A. of applicant bank is allowed.",,

10. In the result:-,,

(a) Applicant bank is entitled for a Recovery Certificate as against the defendants for a sum of Rs.33,25,682.23p (Rupees Thirty Three Lakhs",,
