WPMS 1621/2007 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Heard Sri Lok Pal Singh, the learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Arvind Vashisth, the learned counsel for the bank/ respondent no. 3. In view of the decision of the Supreme Court in Iqbal Naseer Usmani vs. Central Bank of India and others, (2006) 2 SCC 241, a loan given by the bank for purchase of a motor vehicle cannot be recovered by issuance of a recovery certificate under Section 3 of the U.P. Public Moneys (Recovery of Dues) Act, 1972. In the present case, the petitioner had taken a loan for financing a motor vehicle and upon default being committed by the petitioner, the respondent bank issued a recovery certificate under the provisions of the said Act. In the opinion of the Court, the controversy involved in the present case is squarely applicable by the decision of the Supreme Court in Iqbal Naseer Usmani’s case (supra). In the light of the aforesaid, the writ petition is allowed. The recovery certificate dated 29.10.2004 (Annexure-1 to the writ petition) is quashed. It would be open to the respondent bank to take steps to recover the amount in accordance with law. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) 21-09-2011 SP
