Project Shylock – Part 2
How many times does a borrower actually receive a meaningful explanation from a bank when something goes wrong? A loan is taken with an honest intention to repay, but one default, one financial difficulty or one dispute in payment can suddenly change the entire relationship. The officer who once assured you that everything would be resolved may be transferred; a new officer arrives with a new target and a different strategy. Then comes the demand notice, the NPA classification, the pressure for payment, and sometimes cheque bounce or ECS proceedings. The assurance disappears, but the recovery machinery continues.

What makes the situation even more painful is the manner in which recovery proceedings are sometimes pursued. A loan is taken in one place, the borrower resides there, the transaction takes place there—but the proceeding is initiated in a forum hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away. The borrower is then compelled to travel, engage lawyers, bear repeated litigation expenses and defend himself far from his own jurisdiction. What may appear institutionally as a question of jurisdiction can, for an individual borrower, become a strategy of pressure. When demand notices, NPA proceedings, SARFAESI action, mortgage enforcement, symbolic or physical possession under Section 14, auction proceedings and other recovery mechanisms are added to that burden, the borrower can feel as though the entire machinery has been set in motion against him—not to ensure a fair adjudication, but simply to make resistance financially and practically impossible.

Yet, the Supreme Court has repeatedly reminded financial institutions that the right to recover does not mean a licence to act beyond law. In ICICI Bank Ltd. v. Prakash Kaur, (2007) 2 SCC 711, the Court deprecated coercive recovery methods and emphasised that banks must resort to procedures recognised by law. In Mardia Chemicals Ltd. v. Union of India, (2004) 4 SCC 311, the Court recognised the statutory recovery mechanism while also examining safeguards against arbitrary exercise of such powers. The question, therefore, is not whether a bank has the right to recover—it does. The question is how far that right can be exercised before recovery becomes high-handedness and legal process becomes pressure. And when that pressure begins to feel overwhelming, one thing must not be forgotten: a demand notice is not the end, an NPA is not the end, and even the initiation of litigation is not the end. The right legal advice, at the right time, can change the way the entire case is understood and defended. Sometimes, for a borrower who feels that every door has closed, proper legal guidance is the first door that opens.

We don’t judge our clients.
That part is for the judiciary.

Our job is to listen and understand the facts, know the law, assess the risks and advise on what can actually be done.

We also understand that telling a lawyer everything at once is not always easy. Sometimes, it takes time to put things into words.
That’s okay.

Experience teaches us to recognise patterns, ask the right questions and understand what lies behind the facts without passing judgment.

And when a dispute comes with different versions, endless possibilities and plenty of opinions, we stay patient and focused.

Because our clients should feel comfortable telling us what they need to tell us.

We listen. We analyse. We advise.

The Discipline of Seeing Both Sides

When facts threaten belief, the human mind instinctively tries to protect the story it has already accepted. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort created when what we believe collides with what the evidence suggests. We naturally seek consistency, often without realising how much our judgment is being shaped by it.

A lawyer is not immune to this instinct. A lawyer is human.

What makes legal training distinctive is the discipline it develops to work through that conflict rather than be governed by it.

A lawyer is trained to step outside the immediate narrative, separate emotion from analysis and examine a dispute through competing perspectives. The same set of facts may have to be understood from the standpoint of the person seeking relief, the person resisting it, the witness, the evidence and ultimately the law.

One day, the lawyer may stand for the plaintiff seeking a remedy; on another, for the defendant resisting the claim. The professional responsibility remains the same: to understand the opposing position sufficiently well to test, challenge and analyse it.

Years of practice therefore cultivate something beyond knowledge of statutes and precedents... a habit of perspective.

This is what makes a lawyer special.Not immunity from human psychology, but the training to recognise it, navigate it and reason beyond it.

At GS Legal & Associates, we believe that effective advocacy begins with this discipline: seeing the dispute from more than one side, testing every assumption, and allowing evidence and law to shape the conclusion.

Because the practice of law is not merely the art of arguing a position.

It is the discipline of understanding every position before deciding how best to represent one.

Received a Summons or Legal Notice from Kolkata or West Bengal?

You may be living hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away — in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, or any other part of India — while a proceeding is pending in Kolkata or elsewhere in West Bengal.

A single EMI default, ECS bounce, cheque bounce, Negotiable Instruments Act proceeding, DRT notice, pre-cognizance notice, or recovery proceeding by a bank or NBFC can suddenly create serious concern about travelling to Kolkata and appearing before the Court or Forum.

Sometimes, there may also be circumstances where a person believes they have been falsely implicated or subjected to undue pressure or harassment by a bank or NBFC.

Do not panic. Do not ignore the notice.

Before travelling thousands of kilometres, first understand:

What proceeding has been initiated?
Is personal appearance required?
What legal remedy or course is available?

The law may provide ways of addressing certain proceedings without making the process more difficult than necessary.

Stay calm. Read the summons carefully. Seek appropriate legal guidance.

PROJECT SHYLOCK (Part 1)

The fundamental purpose of the judicial process is to ascertain the truth and administer justice in accordance with law. Recovery of money may be one of the reliefs sought in appropriate proceedings, but recovery cannot become the sole object for which legal process is employed. As a matter of legal principle, every proceeding must be tested on its maintainability, jurisdiction, pleadings, evidence and the substantive rights of the parties. The requirement of approaching the court with clean hands, disclosure of material facts and bona fide invocation of legal remedies forms an important part of this process.

From our experience, we have often observed that disputes arising from loans, financial transactions and contractual obligations are sometimes accompanied by proceedings whose practical objective appears to be the creation of pressure for recovery.

Allegations may be framed without the necessary factual or legal foundation; material facts may not be fully disclosed; questions of jurisdiction or maintainability may arise; and multiple proceedings may be initiated simultaneously.

Where the process of law is invoked principally to exert undue pressure for monetary recovery, the distinction between a legitimate legal remedy and an abuse of process becomes particularly important.

A financial claim must still be established within the framework of the law governing that claim.

This is where meaningful legal scrutiny becomes essential. A lawyer's role is not merely to answer a demand or defend an allegation, but to examine what is legally maintainable, what has actually been established, what has been suppressed, which jurisdiction is competent, what relief is legally permissible, and whether the proceeding is genuinely directed towards adjudication of rights or merely towards exerting pressure.

Our approach to banking, financial, contractual and commercial disputes is founded upon this examination... because the strength of a defence lies not merely in resisting a claim but in ensuring that the process of law itself is applied fairly, truthfully and within its lawful limits.
