The debt recovery tribunal and the appellate tribunal "misdirected themselves" by pursuing the grandchildren of a guarantor when there was no evidence that they had inherited the estate of the guarantor, the Delhi High Court stated last week in the case, Rohini Kanoi vs Allahabad Bank. In this case, a firm took loan from Allahabad Bank which was not repaid. The bank took the firm and the guarantors to the tribunal. Since one guarantor had died, his grandchildren were also made parties by the tribunal. They challenged their impleadment, that too after ten years. The high court stated that the tribunal could not make the grandchildren suffer the trial on a "bald assertion", after a long delay, that the bank had learnt that they had inherited the estate of the guarantor.
