4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner has obtained loan of Rs. 39,65,617/- from Magma Housing Finance Ltd., Raipur. The said loan is payable in 20 years by making payment of installment of Rs.46,864/-per month, and in case the petitioner fails to repay the loan amount, the Finance Company may proceed against her as per the Secularization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (in short “SARFAESI Act”). He would further submit that due to ongoing Covid-19 pandemic situation, the financial position of the petitioner is deteriorating, therefore, under such circumstances she has approached Sarik Memon, respondent No. 3 and entered into an agreement to sell the house for an amount of Rs. 80 Lacs and out of which an amount of Rs. 40,00,000/- has been paid to her through RTGS. It has been further contended that Rs. 40 Lacs obtained by the petitioner from respondent No. 3 has been utilized by her for unburdening herself from further financial liability to secure the possession of the said house. It has been further contended that the petitioner has come to know through her husband that respondent No. 3 carries on the business of financing and since the petitioner and respondent No. 3 both belong to same community, the petitioner's husband has believed on the impression given by respondent No. 3
