The dispute arose when after the demise of borrower; his dues were adjusted against the term deposit of the complainant. The complainant denied the intention to be a guarantor or a surety for the borrower and alleged that he was made to sign on some blank papers. He also contended that the bank should have first approached the family of the borrower who had died. The District Forum as well as the State Commission both decided in favor of the petitioner. After perusing the records, NCDRC set aside the orders of District Forum and State Commission and held that bank is entitled to choose between the guarantor and the borrower for recovery of dues. NCDRC also upheld the recovery made by the bank on the ground that \u201cthe complainant signed the blank papers, if any, with his open eyes and on his own volition.
