THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY C.R.P.No.5128 of 2010 Date : 10-12-2010 Between : Pujari Satyanarayana s/o.late Appalaswamy .. Petitioner And Bharatiya Samruddhi Finance Ltd. (BASIX), Represented by its unit head of Srikakulam Unit, Srikakulam District and another .. Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri M.Viswanadham Counsel for respondents : The Court made the following : ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition is filed against order dated 22-9-2010 in I.A.No.136/2010 in O.S.No.847/2004 on the file of learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Srikakulam. I have heard Sri M.Viswanadham, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The petitioner is defendant No.2 in O.S.No.847/2004. Being a guarantor to the principal borrower, a decree for joint and several liability was passed against him and the principal borrower. In execution of the said decree, respondent No.1/decree-holder filed E.P.No.136/2010. The learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, by order dated 22-9-2010, allowed the E.P. and directed attachment of the properties of the petitioner. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that respondent No.1, without proceeding against the principal borrower, has filed the E.P. against his client and that the court below ought not to have allowed the E.P. without directing the decree-holder to first proceed against the principal borrower. I do not find any merit in this submission because the law is well settled that the liability of the guarantor is co-extensive with that of the principal borrower and the decree-holder has always the option to proceed against the guarantor for recovery of the decretal amount instead of proceeding against the principal borrower. In this view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this Civil Revision Petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date: 10-12-2010 AM
