I own a Commercial Property along with 4 other Co-Owners. The Commercial Property is leased out and fetches good rent.
Few Years back, All the Co-owners including me discounted the rent receivables of the property.
Power of Attorney was given to one of the Co-Owners to collect the rent on behalf of all the Co-Owners and dischrge the same to the bank towards repayment of the discounted rent.
The POA holder used to operate our bank accounts for the above purposes.
Few months back, it came to my notice that POA Holder had not been depositing his and other Co-Owners rent to the bank and had been depositing only my share of rent to the bank. He was doing this in collusion with the Bank Manager. The Bank Manager did not even inform me of this development for a good period of 2 years.
After I came to know of this misuse, I withdrew the POA given to one of the Co-Owners and stopped deposting my share of rent to the bank , as i had already discharged more than what was my share.
Today, the bank has issued Sarfesai notice to all the Co-Owners asking them to make good the deafult.
I wanted to Know if I can make a strong case for myself - to challenge the bank and remove sarfesai proceedings from my share of the property. I have paid more than my share of dues, POA Holder has breached my trust and the Bank Manager has colluded with POA Holder. Even the bank statements are in my favour as a proof of my claim.
The Bank can easily attach the POA Holders share of property and recover the entire amount due.
Request Guidance on this matter.
