Hi Sir/Madam, I took a personal loan from HDFC for 3 L. Paid 1L and due to joblessness I couldn't maintain the bank balance, so EMI failed for few months. Received 1st summon to appear before the magistrate in the month of January 2023, I appeared and the case was refereed to Lok adalt by complainant's junior lawyer, no commitments were made my end neither no questions were asked from there side, I paid one month EMI amount and the case was closed in the month of January. Feb, March and Apr, May, June, July months EMI bounced. Received 2nd summon to appear before the magistrate this month August 2023. I have money only to pay for one month EMI, would I be refereed to Lok adalat again and the case be closed or will there be a trail ? Since I am in poor financial situation, I need sometime to get good job, now I am working as a freelancer only which is hardly enough to meet the family's expenses. Please advice!
Thanks in advance for the kind directions.
