Jammu | Oct 19
Jammu and Kashmir State Financial Corporation (JKSFC) these days is investigating a case in which a respondent of a notice has complained that he has been asked to pay back the loan amount that he had never sought or availed.
According to sources, a couple of month back one Mehmood Ali Khan son of Late Sultan Ali Khan resident of Talab Khatikan wrote a letter to JKSFC Chief Manager stating that the corporation has asked him to pay back the loan that he has never availed. The letter stated, “I have received a notice from your corporation for depositing back an over-due loan amount against vehicle No. JK02A/5057. But, I have not availed any loan in respect of above said vehicle. The loan amount has actually been availed by my younger brother Liaqat Ali Khan, who has taken advantage of resemblances of my face with that of his own face.”
Mehmood is also reported to have enclosed an affidavit declaring that he had neither sought the said loan nor he had availed the same.
Sources disclosed that after receiving the complaint, the corporation realized its mistake and learnt that with the connivance of some officer or officers in the SFC, the brother of the respondent had played a mischief and availed the loan by affixing his own photograph but using name of Mehmood.
An officer of the SFC during investigation came to the conclusion that in the year 1991, a loan of rupees 1.50 lakh was made available to Liaqat though in the name of Mehmood by the SFC on incomplete documents against fictitious purchase of a matador. And whatever documents were affixed with the applications were actually of Mehmood.
Mehmood, it was learnt, had also submitted an affidavit declaring that some of his documents including a copy of his state subject had been stolen by Liaqat.
Mehmood has complained that he had come to know about the case only after he received a notice from the SFC seeking pay back of the loan which till March 2003 had grown to rupees six lakh. |
