Upon perusing the materials placed on record, it is seen that the vehicles stand in the name of the borrowers and they were the subject matter of hire purchase transaction, and the borrowers committed default in payment of dues and when the petitioner, who is a Financier, took steps to seize the vehicles, they were not available. Hence, the petitioner wants case to be registered against borrowers.
