Whether the borrower's assets are to be proceed first and only thereafter for the balance the guarantor's assets should be enforced? This was the position of Law before 1992 , in Manku Narayan's Case. The decision of Manku Narayan was overruled by the Supreme Court in Indexport Vs. SBI in 1992. The supreme court has observed that Bank is entitled to a composite decree being mortgage-decree agaisnt the mortgagors and personal [money] decree against all defendants.
