According to the Plaintiffs version, as on 30.4.2012, a sum of Rs,2,422,623.03 is due and payable on account of Running Finance Facility [RFF].

RF facility Rs.2,422,623.03 TOTAL PKR Rs.465,591,170.03 AND C. FE 25 US$ 439,147/- 15.Per Plaintiffs stand, 'RF Facility' sanctioned to the Defendant was of Rs,2,000,000/- [Rupees Two Million Only]. The Defendant, as averred by the Plaintiff from time to time, withdrew various amounts from its' account and in turn also deposited amounts in the said account. The Plaintiff Bank according to its' version, has charged markup on a day to day basis i.e mark-up charged on the exact amount that was withdrawn on a particular day and based on total turnover i,e, aggregate credit amounts, subtracted from aggregate debit amounts. 16.On filing of above suit on 22.5.2012, process under section 9(5) of F.I.O., 2001, was issued to the Defendant by all requisite modes. In response of service, Defendant filed his Leave-to-Defend Application bearing C.M.A. No,9247 of 2012 on 7.8.2012. In the Leave-to-Defend Application under section 10 of Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 [C.M.A. No,9247 of 2012], the availment and utilization of the finance facilities w,e,f, 31.10.1997, has not been denied, however, per Defendant's stand, Plaintiff got signed and obtained the charge/financial documents in blanks. The Plaintiff Bank apart from the above, has charged 'mark-up' over 'mark-up' and that too in absence of any valid and enforceable Finance Agreement[s]. According to Defendant's stand Rs,630.00 million, has been paid/adjusted w,e,f, March, 2008 to August, 2008, towards' full and final satisfaction of Plaintiffs claim regarding finance facility[ies] granted to and availed by the Defendant. Moreover, Plaintiff had assured that mark-up amount and other charges, charged by the Plaintiff Bank shall be waived off. 17.Regarding claim of the Plaintiff Bank, as set-forth in the plaint and pertains to three [03] credit facilities [i]. FAPC-I, [ii]. F-25 and [iii]. Running Finance Facility/Temporary Over-draft Facility (new), it was averred in the Leave-to-Defend application [C.M. No,9247 of 2012] that except last Facility. Plaintiff Bank's claim in respect of other two facilities is false and bogus. The Export Finance Facility as alleged, was never disbursed. Defendant, nevertheless, at the same time has alleged that by selling the assets the liability has been paid off. The claim of the Plaintiff Bank against the Defendant besides, time barred, is outcome of 'Mark-up' over 'Mark-up'. In Leave-to-Defend Application [C.M.A. No,9247 of 2012], it has further been alleged that complete statements of accounts pertaining to main account No,010101841-0' and Askari Saving Deposit Account [ASD], have not been placed on record, by Plaintiff Bank. Per Defendant's stand an amount of Rs,450.0 Million has been paid in A/C N.010101841-0. 18.In the Leave-to-Defend Application, under the heading of preliminary objections, it has been alleged that 'mandatory requirements' of section 9(3) of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, have not been complied with, as such, the Plaintiffs suit is liable to be dismissed. Moreover, the statement of account pertaining to FAPC-I [Annexure 'P-28' to plaint] and relating to period of 1.7.2008 to 26.4.2012, is not only incomplete but contains bogus entries which
---
## Page 7
cannot be deemed and treated as a true statement of account. 19.Like-wise, the statement of account [Annexure P/23 to the plaint] relating to FE-25 facility, is nothing but a statement of mark-up charged and receivable on FE-25 facility, from 02.01.2008 to 26.04.2012. All the entries made in the said statement of account [Annexure 'P-23' to the plaint], are vague, false, fabricated and inflated. No any statement of account vis-a-vis principal portion of FE- 25, has been filed by plaintiff Bank. The claim of Plaintiff Bank, as such, is not tenable under the law and deserves to be rejected. Besides, the claim of Plaintiff Bank in respect of Export Facilities FAPC-I and FE-25, is not only time barred but based on 'closed' and 'past transactions'. As far as, the statement of accounts [Annexures 'P/46' and 'P/47'], pertaining to temporary Running Finance Fkility/Overdraft Facility [new] are concerned, the same being not readable cannot be rebutted. 20.Per Defendant's version, non-filing of complete and correct statement of accounts, as alleged, is a gross violation of section 9(2) of Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, and for this reason as well, the suit is liable to be dismissed. Moreover, the plaintiff's claim is not only baseless, false, exaggerated, but also based on concocted and sham pleas. The claim of the plaintiff Bank, according to Defendant, is nothing but based on 'Markup' over 'Markup' and Miscellaneous charges, which is not permissible to be granted in favour of the Plaintiff Bank under law. Moreover, the plaintiff has not only distorted the true facts but also has concealed various aspects of the matter, which, in view of Defendant is matter of evidence. 21.The plaintiff's claim though based on various documents, however, those documents were got signed in blank from defendant, hence, contractual obligation if any, incurred there-under, cannot be enforced. The agreements for financing i,e, Annexures 'P14' to 'P/7' and 'P-14' along with other charge documents annexed with plaint as Annexures 'P-8' to 'P-13', 'P-24' to 'P-27' and 'P-15' to 'P-18', per Defendant's version, are manipulated documents. Neither of such documents was ever executed nor otherwise, thereunder any facility was either requested or disbursed in favour of the defendant. Moreover, the charged documents i,e, Annexures 'P-8' to 'P-13', 'P-24' to T-27' and 'P-15' to 'P-18', signed and executed on 26.12.2007, are not in favour of Plaintiff Bank. No doubt, Contract No,746 dated 02.10.2007, Geneva, Switzerland [Annexure P-20 to the plaint], was executed between Defendant and Ascot Commodities NV Geneva Branch but the same was also submitted to Plaintiff Bank, along with Annexures 'P-19' and 'P-21' to the plaint for financing, as was, required for pre- disbursement requirements. The plaintiff, however, did not grant and/or disburse any finance facility thereunder to the Defendant. 22.Likewise, Annexures 'P-24' to 'P-27' to the plaint are manipulated and selves-contradictory documents. Neither any facility was disbursed in terms of the said documents nor otherwise, the said documents find any support from any of the statement of accounts available on record. Rather, most of the documents pertain to 'closed and past transactions'. The obligations, thereunder, if any, has been fulfilled by the Defendant. In Leave-to-Defend Application [C.MA. No,9247/2012], the authenticity and admissibility of all the document annexed with the plaint has/have been challenged though signatures thereon, have not been denied. Per Defendant's stance, unless complete evidence, is led in the matter till then, true liability[ies] of Defendant could be determined as Plaintiff by violating rules and regulations, has charged 'Mark-up' over 'Mark-up' beyond expiry dates of Finance Agreements which cannot be done under SBP's Circulars and laws. For this reason as well the claim of the Plaintiff Bank besides being exaggerated cannot be granted as prayed. Plaintiff, as alleged by Defendant, has no 'cause of action' against the Defendant for filing of the above suit for recovery of the outstanding amount. Lastly, in Leaveto-Defend Application [C.M.A. No,2947 of 2012], it has been prayed that the Defendant be granted un- conditional Leave-to-Defend for defending the above suit, as Defendant, in his opinion, has raised substantial questions of law and facts which require evidence. 23.In response to Leave-to-Defend Application [C.M.A. No,2947 of 2012], Plaintiff Bank, has filed its'

Per 'REPLICATION', Defendant has admitted 'Temporary Overdraft Facility', as narrated in Paras 19 to 29 of the plaint. The Defendant at present, as per Plaintiffs contention, is liable to pay Rs,1,250,000/- on account of ToF. According to the Plaintiffs version, even beyond January, 2007, Defendant continued to avail finance facilities but in return Defendant failed and/or avoided to fulfill its' contractual…
