Jointly purchased registered a flat under bank loan being husband is first applicant and wife is co-applicant.
After that husband contributed only few partial House loan emis and there after stopped contributing and wife is paying the house emis from the begining thru neft transfers where she has the record. since Mar'11 to Jan'12, there was a mutual understanding between them and husband agreed to pay the emis where in wife will contribute other house hold commitments which is an equal to the house emi. but during the period that is Mar'11 to Jan'12, husband did not stand on his word and defaulted for the house emis and the wife had paid by way of cash excusing month on month. bank had issued a letter stating that his account is deactivated for the defaulted payments and asked us to contact them for further activation. since husband dint respond to this, wife has involved being a co-applicant and co-owner of the said property and activated her salary savings bank account and regularize the payments up to date. now wife is looking for a release order from the court that she will repay the housing loan to avoid the excess interest rates.she has filed a divorce case on cruelty. now husband says that she doesnot have any rights to claim the property as he is the first applicant. please suggest. wife is having all the payment records of the said house loan.
