IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revison No.7031 of 2009 Date of decision:04.02.2010. Sham Sunder ...Petitioner Versus The Hisar Sirsa Keshetria Gramin Bank ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D.ANAND. Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. D.K.Mehta, Advocate, for the respondent. ***** S.D.ANAND, J. The petitioner herein had guaranteed the repayment of the impugned loan amount by the principal debtor. In the course of the execution proceedings, the petitioner herein filed an objection petition and raised a plea that the bank should first make an endeavour to recover the impugned loan from the principal debtor. That plea of his was declined by the learned Trial Court, vide impugned order dated 04.08.2009. None has turned up today to assist this Court on behalf of the petitioner. There is plethora of law on the point that the creditor is entitled to proceed either against the principal debtor or the guarantor in its own discretion and he cannot be legally goaded to first proceed against the principal debtor for recovery of the amount under reference. There is no law which would validate the grievance of the petitioner herein that the creditor must compulsively first proceed, in the matter of recovery of the impugned loan, against the principal debtor. The petition is devoid of merit and is ordered to be dismissed. February 04, 2010 (S.D.ANAND) vinod* JUDGE
