Q: home loan settlement, what is the legal procedure?
My father has taken homeloan from HDFC by keeping house documents few years before. My father was unwell and due to huge medical bills he could not pay EMI further. Right now the outstanding amount is 5 lakhs. so bank sent firstly demand notice and then posession notice and they are saying now the case is in DRT. However bank representative came couple of months ago and they said they are ready to settle for 2 lakhs. Now i am ready to pay that amount but not sure how to initiate the process. Should i proceed via lawyear only or i can directly talk to the bank representative? How should i ensure that they will not disagree to their statement in the future? What if they take the amount and then disagree to settle down in future. what is the home loan settlement process in india ?
Advocate Soma Das answered
This is very good that they agreed for OTS ,So you can talk directly or via lawyer whichever is favourable for you. But I would suggest you to ask the bank to refer your matter to the Lok Adalat . So that no confusion arise and the matter may be settled in the Lok Adalat. Contact for more details.
Q: Sec 138 against a company for an Individual cheque
Individual issued a cheque which got bounced. Now as he is director to a company, complainant filled a case against first party as company and second as an individual. Now NBW got issued on the name of Individual. Will there be any action against other directors of that company simultaneously? Please advise.
Advocate Soma Das answered
Yes, all are responsible but as authorized signatory the induvidual name is there. Company is responsible for the bounced cheque. Authorized signatory signed the cheque on behalf of the company and if any adverse order will be passed it will be passed against the company not against any particular individual. But at the initial stage authorized signatory had to obliged by the courts order.

Advocate Soma Das answered
After their divorce of your parents do anyone of them ceased to be your parent i,e father and mother except they ceased to be spouses any more .So your origin do not change.Previously also your mother was your natural guardian and after divorce with your father she will be the same the situation do not change. Therefore ur caste of gen can never be changed to obc . In our patriarchal society we adopt our father's origin .
