Hello all seasoned advocates, I had taken personal loan from a private bank in the year 2007 and paid monthly installments for about 10 months and after that I could no repay due to recession, parents hospitalization etc. In the year 2012, the bank had approached Arbitration and obtained ex-parte award. I did not get any notice or intimation from Arbitration to attend. Even after, award is passed, I have not received the award copy. Now bank has sent a legal notice to me saying that they got award and I have to pay Rs. 6 lakhs with 36% interest or else they will attach my moveable and immovable property. Now my question is what are my defence? Can bank enforce the award after lapse of 5 years? What are the remedies available for me? Kindly help me to survive.
