judgment dated 27-11-2006, this Honourable Court was pleased to pass an interim
Decree in favour of the Plaintiff and the Defendant No.1 for Rs.50,199,692.69. It
is further submitted that while passing the aforesaid interim Decree dated 27-112006, this Honourable Court was also pleased to fix 06-12-2006 for further
arguments on PLAs. It is submitted that for one reason or the other it has not
proved possible to conclude arguments on the aforesaid PLAs even after the lapse

through the Objection Petition No.7-B/2008 filed in the aforesaid execution
petition, the Defendant No.1 has raised objections to the execution of the interim
Decree dated 26-11-2006, inter alia, on the grounds that till disposal of the
aforesaid PLAs, the properties of the Defendant No.1 could not be sold as it
would tantamount to sale of the properties without judicially deciding the case. It
is submitted that the above assertion by the Defendants is totally against the law
That it is submitted, however, that the titled suit has been filed for recovery of
Rs.101,391,028.14 but as stated in para 4 above, the aforesaid interim Decree
dated 26-11-2006 was passed only for the sum of Rs.50,199,692.69 admitted by
the Defendant No.1 to be its outstanding liability. Therefore, as the huge amount
of the Plaintiff is struck up, it will be in the interest of justice and equity if the
aforesaid PLAs mentioned in para 2 above are dismissed and the titled suit is
decreed for the full suit amount of Rs.101,391,028.14 against all defendants as
prayed for in the Plaint.
In view of the above facts, it is respectfully prayed that the aforesaid PLA No.42-

That on maturity of the aforesaid Running Finance, Cash Finance and L/C limit
mentioned in paras 8 & 9 on 31-03-2002 the Defendants requested the Plaintiff to
renew the same. However, pending formal approval by the Plaintiff to renew the
above-facilities, the same being revolving limits were continued to be availed by
Defendant No.1. Subsequently, the above three facilities were formally renewed
firstly up to 30-06-2003 and then upto 30.06.2004 vide Sanction Advices dated
05-10-2002 and 12.09.2003 respectively. Copies of Resolutions dated 08.03.2002

However, although the above facilities were renewed and utilized by the

only to pay the outstanding markup as on 30-06-2003 amounting to Rs.10.638
Million against the Running Finance and Rs.18.163 Million against the Cash
Finance but also to complete formalities for the renewed facilities. However,
Defendants not only failed to complete the required documents but also vide letter
dated 27-09-2003 (Annex- L/8) refused to accept the aforesaid sanction advice by
wrongly disputing the amount of the aforesaid outstanding markup etc. As the
objections raised in the aforesaid letter dated 27-09-2003 were totally wrong, the
Plaintiff vide its letter dated 16-10-2003 (Annex-L/9) gave comprehensive reply

That from the above facts, it is clear that all the possible assistance was given and
granted to the Defendant No.1 by the Plaintiff from time to time as aforesaid by
way of providing Running Finance Facility, Cash Finance Facility and Letter of
Credit Facility as well as their renewal and enhancement. However, Defendant
No.1 as well as other Defendants failed to reciprocate in similar manner and failed
to pay/liquidate all of the aforesaid Running Finance Facility, Cash Finance
Facility and and Letter of Credit Facility/FADB on their due dates of 30-06-2004.
Although as aforesaid the Defendants have been acknowledging their liabilities
from time to time but failed to pay the amounts due under the respective facilities.

Bank in consideration of and as joint security for the Running Finance, Cash
Finance and L/C limit extended to and availed by Defendant No.1 which are
subject matter of this suit.
12.
That on maturity of the aforesaid Running Finance, Cash Finance and L/C limit
mentioned in paras 8 & 9 on 31-03-2002 the Defendants requested the Plaintiff to
renew the same. However, pending formal approval by the Plaintiff to renew the
above-facilities, the same being revolving limits were continued to be availed by
Defendant No.1. Subsequently, the above three facilities were formally renewed
firstly up to 30-06-2003 and then upto 30.06.2004 vide Sanction Advices dated
05-10-2002 and 12.09.2003 respectively. Copies of Resolutions dated 08.03.2002
& 30.05.2003 passed by the Directors of Defendant No. 1 for requesting the
Plaintiff for renewal of limits for the periods upto 30.06.2003 and 30.06.2004
respectively and aforesaid Sanction Advices dated 05.10.2002 & 12.09.2003 are
attached herewith as Annexures K, K /1, K /2 & K /3
However, although the above facilities were renewed and utilized by the
Defendants, they failed to execute the documents for renewal on one pretext or
another such as they started raising objections as to the applicable rate of markup. Copies of letters dated 12-07-2002, 19-11-2002 and 01-02-2003 requesting for
reduction in mark-up and acknowledging their liabilities are attached as AnnexL/1 and L/2 and L/3. Similarly, vide letter dated 08-02-2003 (Annex-L/4)
Defendants undertook to pay Rs.2.5 Million per month in aggregate against the
mark-up for the year 2002 payable by Defendant No.1 on the above two facilities
as well as by the other companies of the Diamond Group of Industries.
Defendants again vide letter dated 20-02-2003 (Annex-L/5) again undertook that
mark up for the years 2002 and 2003 would be adjusted latest by 31-12-2003 and
31-12-2004 respectively by payment of Rs.2.5 Million per month but they failed
to honor their commitments.

Defendants the aforesaid Sanction Advice dated 12-09-2003 whereby the
aforesaid Running Finance, Cash Finance and L/C limit were renewed upto 3006-2004. By the above letter Plaintiff advised the Defendants to complete
documents and other formalities for the aforesaid renewed facilities. Later on vide
another letter dated 25-09-2003 (Annex- L/7) Defendants were again advised not
only to pay the outstanding markup as on 30-06-2003 amounting to Rs.10.638
Million against the Running Finance and Rs.18.163 Million against the Cash
Finance but also to complete formalities for the renewed facilities. However,
Defendants not only failed to complete the required documents but also vide letter
dated 27-09-2003 (Annex- L/8) refused to accept the aforesaid sanction advice by
wrongly disputing the amount of the aforesaid outstanding markup etc. As the
objections raised in the aforesaid letter dated 27-09-2003 were totally wrong, the
Plaintiff vide its letter dated 16-10-2003 (Annex-L/9) gave comprehensive reply
as well as it was conveyed to the Defendants to corporate and liquidate its
liabilities.
14.
That from the above facts, it is clear that all the possible assistance was given and
granted to the Defendant No.1 by the Plaintiff from time to time as aforesaid by
way of providing Running Finance Facility, Cash Finance Facility and Letter of
Credit Facility as well as their renewal and enhancement. However, Defendant
No.1 as well as other Defendants failed to reciprocate in similar manner and failed
to pay/liquidate all of the aforesaid Running Finance Facility, Cash Finance
Facility and and Letter of Credit Facility/FADB on their due dates of 30-06-2004.
Although as aforesaid the Defendants have been acknowledging their liabilities
from time to time but failed to pay the amounts due under the respective facilities.
Copies of Letters whereby the Defendants acknowledged their liability and
committed to make payments have already been mentioned above and attached
with the plaint.
15.
That every effort was made by the Plaintiff Bank to recover the outstanding
amounts from the Defendants but all such efforts were wasted as Defendants
failed to pay the aforesaid liabilities amounting to Rs. 101,391,028.14 as on 3006-2005. They were liable to pay the aforesaid amount but failed to pay the same
despite several requests from the Plaintiff Bank as aforesaid. Hence, this suit.

REPLY by the Plaintiff bank (in the form of replication) under Section 10 (7)
of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, on behalf of
the Plaintiff to the Application filed by Defendant No.1 under Section 10(1) of the
Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 for leave to Appear
and Defend the Suit.
PRELIMINARY SUBMISSIONS/OBJECTIONS:
1.
The Application for leave to defend filed by the Defendant completely fails
to comply with mandatory provisions of law as per Section 10 of the
Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 (hereinafter
referred to as the Ordinance). Section 10(4) of the Ordinance is
reproduced below for ready reference:
(4)
(a)
(b)
the amount of finance and other amounts relating to the finance payable
by the defendant to the financial institution up to the date of, institution of
the suit;
(c)
The amounts of finance and other amounts relating to the finance payable
by the defendant to the financial institution up to the date of institution of
the suit;
(d)
the amount if any which the defendant disputes as payable to the financial
institution and facts in support thereof.
Explanation. For the purposes of clause (b) any payment made to a financial
institution by a customer in respect of a finance shall be appropriated first
against other amounts relating to the finance and the balance, if any, against the
principal amount of the finance.
2.
As per this mandatory provision of law the Defendant was required to state
the amount of finance and other amounts relating to finance payable by the
Defendant and the amount, if any, which the Defendant disputes.
In the lengthy application for leave to defend this mandatory provision of
law has been completely ignored. The requirement with regard to
information as required to be provided by sub-section 4 has not been
complied with. In such a situation sub-section 6 of Section 10 lays down
that the Application for leave to defend shall be rejected. Sub-section 6 is
reproduced below for ready reference:
(6)
An application for leave to defend which does not comply with the
requirements of sub-section (3), (4) where applicable and (5) shall be
rejected, unless the defendant discloses therein sufficient cause for his
inability to comply with any such requirement.
Since the Application for leave to defend has not complied with the
mandatory requirements of Sub-sections 3, 4 and 5, the same be rejected
and the suit be decreed in full.

filed in March, 1999 and was fixed for hearing first time on 10-3-99 but the
Decree dated 10-12-1998 remained unsatisfied as the assets of the Judgmentdebtors have not been sold so far causing colossal loss to the Decree Holder.

wherein permission was sought from this Honourable Court to sell the
machinery/plant of Judgment Debtor No.1 through inviting sealed tenders/bids in

passed. The matter has assumed some urgency in view of the fact that the
Applicant has located potential buyers for the purchase of the machinery,
including certain overseas parties who are present in the country for the purpose
of inspection/evaluation. If appropriate orders are not passed by this Honourable
Court, it is apprehended that an opportunity to dispose of the machinery at an
