WRITTEN STATEMENT OF DEFENDANTS NOS. 1, 2, AND 3, SRI ASIS MONDAL, SMT. SUJATA MONDAL, AND SRI PRADIP KUMAR MONDAL.

 

The Defendants above named states as follows :

 

  1. The Original Application / Suit is not maintainable either in facts or in its present form.

 

  1. The Applicant / Plaintiff has no cause of  action for the Suit / original application.

 

  1. The present Original application / suit is barred by the principles of estoppel, waiver, and acquiseence.

 

  1. The Suit / Original Application is a result of deep rooted conspiracy and collusion amongst the bank personnel, who have wrongfully and illegally conspired and colluded with each other to cause undue harassment to these defendants on the basis of purported documents containing forged signatures of the defendant nos. 1 and 2, as well as of the defendant no. 3, as well at the relevant pages of the documents, Xerox copies of which have been annexed to the plaint / original application. In fact these defendants called upon the plaintiff to produce originals of the said documents prior to the date of hearing enabling these defendants to inspect the original of such purported documents and to file additional written statement on disclosure of further details in that regard and in such circumstances these defendants reserve their right to amend the written statement or to file additional written statement as the case may be to that effect at the appropriate time and juncture.

 

  1. Save and except the statements of the plaint specifically admitted herein, the defendants denies each and every other states as alleged in the plaint / original application and puts the plaintiff / applicant to the strict proof thereof.

 

  1. The statements as alleged in paragraph nos. 5.1 and 5.8 of the plaint / original application are more or less matters of record but the defendants does not admit anything which is beyond record and is not supported by record and the plaintiff / applicant is also to prove the statements as alleged in paragraph no. 5.2 of the plaint / original application, as such the defendants never applied for any financial facilities as alleged by the plaintiff Bank and the documents the plaintiff bank relied upon are all forged as the signatures of the defendants are not there and the signature as shown therein are all manufactured and fabricated, and thus those signatures are not the signatures of the defendants. In particular the defendant no.1, had never applied before the plaintiff bank for sanction of such alleged loan or credit facility for using the said sum as working capital for his business as has been untruly and falsely alleged. In this regard the defendant no.1, in particularly categorically states and submits on perusal of the Xerox copies of the purported application annexed to the plaint / original application that the alleged signatures purportedly of the defendant no. 1, 2, and 3 as appearing at the relevant pages of the said purported documents are forged signature of the defendants nos. 1, 2, and 3, thus categorically deny and disputes those signatures are as their own. The signatures appearing in the said application in the name of the defendant no. 1, are all forged signatures. Without admitting any of such alleged statements as alleged in the said paragraph under reply of the plaint these defendants further states that on careful perusal of the  annexures to the plaint it appears that there is no photographs of the applicant in space provided in the front page of the said application – far less to speak of the signature of the said alleged applicant.

 

  1. That the defendant nos. 2 and 3, are specifically and categorically denied that they did execute any guarantee for the purpose of such alleged loan and on perusal of the Xerox copies of the annexures to the plaint / original application, this defendants learnt that the signature of them as shown in the relevant columns are forged and they categorically denied the said signatures as their own. The present suit / proceeding is a result of deep rooted conspiracy of the plaintiff bank’s employee, who causes all such purported purposive act and omissions as to misappropriation of funds entrusted upon them by the Government or the concern authority, and whereas these defendants are the victim of the act and omission caused by the employee and or personnel of the plaintiff bank.

 

  1. The allegations as alleged and described in paragraph nos. 5.9 to 5.12 of the plaint / original application are all emphatically denied by these defendants as the same are not at all true or correct in view of what have been stated above.

 

  1. With regard to the statements as alleged in paragraphs nos. 5.13 to 5.26 of the plaint these defendants submit that the said purported notice of Bhudeb Kumar Pal, Advocate and Sri H.L. Shukla, Advocate, being illegal, invalid and bad in law and as such these defendants had no obligation to comply withy the fanciful requisition made therein. These defendants are not at all liable to pay any such alleged sum as has been untruly alleged in the plaint nor they are at all liable to pay any interest or other expenses in the manner it has been fancifully claimed by the plaintiff.  The purported statements of accounts as shown in the said plaint are absolutely untrue and are contrary to record and is not at all based on genuine documents or true facts and as such the same are emphatically denied and disputed. The defendant no.4, did not at all deposited the title deed as mentioned in the contents of the plaint / original application, as such the statements to that effect as alleged therein are emphatically denied.

 

  1. The defendants state and submits that the Plaintiff Bank always failed to authenticate it’s claim and to provide the documents and or papers related to the financial facility as allegedly granted by them to the defendants, on any occasions, whatsoever.

 

  1. The defendants state and submits that the plaintiff bank claim is not a debt as defined under the Law, as such the claim of plaintiff bank before the Hon’ble Tribunal cant not sustained.

 

 

 

  1. The Suit / Original Application is barred by the Limitation and not maintainable in it’s present form.

 

  1. The Suit / Original Application is barred by the provision of Section 18 of the Recovery of Debt Due to Banks and Financial Institution Act’ 1993, and not maintainable in it’s present form.

 

  1. The Suit / Original Application is not in accordance with the provision of Section 17 of the Recovery of Debt Due to Banks and Financial Institution Act’ 1993, and not maintainable in it’s present form.

 

  1. The Suit / Original Application is an out come of deep rooted conspiracy of the employee, bank manager of the plaintiff bank, and thus the claim of the plaintiff bank does not fall under the provisions of Section 17 of the Recovery of Debt Due to Banks and Financial Institution Act’ 1993, and not maintainable in it’s present form.

 

  1. The cause of action for the suit has not arisen in the manner as alleged in the plaint / Original Application and the plaintiff can not be said to have any cause of action for the suit. In fact, the suit is bad for multi – feriousness of cause of action.

 

  1. The suit is not properly valued and the court fees paid therein is insufficient in Law. The verification in support of the plaint is defective.

 

  1. There is no schedule in the plaint and the plaint is defective in that regard as well and is liable to fail. On that score. The plaintiff is not entitled to the decree / relief as prayed for.

 

  1. The Suit is vexatious, frivolous, harassing, and is liable to be dismissed with cost.

 

  1. The Suit is an outcome of ill feeling between the parties, thus liable to be dismissed with cost.
