JUSTICE T.P.VIVEKANANDA - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010731832024 NC: 2026:KHC:54634 WP No. 34442 of 2024 ORAL ORDER The petitioner is before this Court calling in question the demand notice dated 21.09.2024 at Annexure-A. 2. Annexure-A is the notice issued by respondent No.1 - A Non-banking Financial Company to the petitioner herein calling upon him to pay the outstanding loan amount of Rs.81,160/-. It is the case of the petitioner that he is not the borrower nor the guarantor in respect of the loan account No.P404PHF4353923. Therefore, Annexure-A is unsustainable. 3. Per contra, learned counsel for respondent No.1 submits that since respondent No.1 is a Non-banking Financial Company, the writ petition against the private Company is not maintainable. Therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. In addition, it is his submission that the petitioner is a borrower and there are documents to establish the same. 4. Since this Court is of the opinion that the writ petition filed by the petitioner challenging the demand notice issued by Non Banking Financial Company is not maintainable, this Court do not propose to make any observation with regard to the rival contentions of the petitioner and respondents with - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010731832024 NC: 2026:KHC:54634 WP No. 34442 of 2024 regard to the existence of contract of loan between respondent No.1 and the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed, holding that the petition is not maintainable. Sd/- (T.P.VIVEKANANDA) JUDGE BGN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 51
