3.
When the matter came up before this Court on
08.12.2022, this Court passed the following order:
- 3 -
The Executing Court has rejected the application
of the petitioners by which the petitioners sought for
a direction to be issued to the D.Hr to furnish copies
of the Adhar Card, PAN Card and Bank Pass Book to
enable the petitioners to transfer the decreetal
amount. This application had been rejected by the
Executing Court. The petitioners have filed an
affidavit before this Court which reads as follows;
“In this I Ibrahim S/o. Babalal Mokhasi Age: 65
years: Occ: Pensioner R/o. H.No. EWS 621, 2nd
Cross
Karnataka
Circle,
Navanagar,

580 025, Dist: Dharwad today in Dharwad do hereby
state on solemn affirmation as under.
“1.
I state that I am the Petitioner No.1 in
this case I know the facts of the case, as such I am
competent to swear to this affidavit. Hence, I am
swearing to this affidavit and on behalf of petitioner
No.2 also.
2.
I state that we have filed this petition
being aggrieved by the Order on IA No. 2 dated
15/10/2022 by the 3rd Addl. Senior Civil Judge &
JMFC,
Hubballi
in
not
considering
application,
requesting the court to direct the respondent herein
to furnish the details of Bank Account, Adhar Card
and PAN card in order to transfer the decreetal
amount.
- 4 -
3.
I state that in order to pay the amount as
promised by us we have applied for loan before the
Poonawalla
Housing
Finance
Limited,
Branch
Hubballi. Accordingly, the said finance has sanctioned
an amount of Rs.24,50,000/- to purchase the said
property on 27/10/2022. Since the amount has to be
release
in
favour
of
the
Respondent
herein,
accordingly the fiancé requested us to submit the
documents of Respondent in order to update the KYC
I.e. Adhar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID and Bank
Particulars denoting his SB Account.
4.
I state that as per the request made by
the finance we filed the application seeking to furnish
the above particulars, but the said application is
rejected by the court below.
5.
I state that we are the retired persons
and we are unable to accumulate the said amount in
time and as such we applied for the loan. If the
respondent herein has submits the particulars as
required by the finance will be released the amount
directly in the name of the Respondent herein.
6.
I state that we are ready to pay 9%
interest on 24,00,000/- from 05/08/2020 to till its
realization.
Therefore the Hon'ble Court may please be
direct the Respondent to furnish the details as
required by the Poonawalla Housing Finance Limited,
- 5 -
Branch Hubballi in order to release the amount in
favour of Respondent in the interest of justice and
equity.”
In view of the affidavit, learned counsel
for the respondent submits that the copies of the
Adhar Card, PAN Card and Bank details would be
furnished within two days.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioners stated
that the petitioners are willing to pay 9% interest on
the sum of Rs.24,00,000/- and he seeks for a
month’s time to pay the same.
4.
In my view, it would be appropriate to
award interest at the rate of 10% on Rs.24,00,000/-
as against 9% suggested by the petitioners since,
the petitioners have failed to discharge the obligation
of payment of the said amount for the past two
years. In fact, as per the compromise decree, the
petitioners are required to handover the possession if
a sum of Rs.24,00,000/- was not pa
