Arb. Appln. No.58 of 2021 N.SATHISH KUMAR, J This application has been filed to appoint the employee of the Applicant, viz., Mr.P.Saravanan, as Receiver to seize and take possession of the vehicle which is morefully described in the Schedule to the Judges Summons which is lying in the custody of the respondent or respondent's men, agents, servants from respondent premises or wherever found with Police aid and break open of premises, if necessary.

2. It is the case of the applicant that as per the loan agreement dated 20/10/2018, the respondent has availed a sum of Rs.20,86,000/-. As the respondent committed default, it is the contention of the respondent that unless a receiver is appointed to take charge of the vehicle, there will be irreparable injury and the vehicle will be sold by the other side. Hence, it is prayed for appointment of a receiver.

3. In such view of the matter, if the vehicle is allowed to be sold by the respondent, the very right of the applicant will be defeated. http://www.judis.nic.in
