Side) O R D E R As no adverse order is being passed against the 3rd respondent, notice to the 3rd respondent is dispensed with and this Writ Petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself. 2. The petitioner seeks direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to take appropriate action against the 3rd respondent by conducting enquiry based on their representation dated 15.07.2025. 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent availed loan from the petitioner/The Coimbatore Co-op. Primary Agriculture and Rural Development Bank Ltd, by suppressing the earlier mortgage. In this regard, a complaint has been lodged to the respondents 1 and 2. However, no action has been taken so far. 4. At the outset, this Court is of the view that the petitioner being the Bank, ought to have been vigilant in verifying the title before sanctioning the loan and without doing so, as a matter of right, they cannot seek enquiry by the police. 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.
