1. The defendants have filed this appeal URA-7/2003 for dismissing the Original Application (OA) by modifying the order dated 5.11.2002 in the OA.

Court: DRAT Madras

Decided on: Aug-01-2003

Reported in: II(2004)BC232

1. This appeal arises on the Order dated 19.6.2002 passed by the PO, DRT-II, Chennai, in OA-27/2001. The main point raised in this appeal is with regard to the rate of interest. Counsel for the appellant submits that the loan was availed by the appellant only for agricultural purpose and the appellant is liable to pay interest only on the agricultural loan at concessional rate but the respondent Bank has charged more interest at 19.89% and that is excessive and the respondent Bank is not entitled to charge such high rate of interest on the agricultural loan availed by the appellant.2. Counsel for the appellant mainly relies upon the sanction letter and the Notices issued by the Bank. Of course, the loan was sanctioned only for agricultural purpose. Even in the Notice sent by the Bank dated 9.3.1998 and 15.11.1998, it has been specifically stated that the appellant approached the Bank for setting up agricultural lands project and the loan was sanctioned by the Bank for that effect.
