Now a days bankers are resorting to such dubious methods to force the lender to pay the o/s. amount in order to lower the NPA level at their individual branch which will in turn be a positive thing in their service record. However, banks are not supposed to resort to such methods and the superior officers are often in collusion with the branch staff and it is not unknown to the management of such tactics being adopted by the bank's branch.
I suggest you issue a legal notice, stating the fact that the ornaments were pledged for the personal loan and since the account is closed, the bank should return the jewellary.
The bank cannot deny the fact since the loan documents evidence pledge of ornaments for purpose of personal loan and not any other loan.
In case there is no favourable response file a criminal complaint against the erring bank officials. However, the entire process consumes time and there may be delay in getting back the jewels within time for the marriage.
