Prem Lata and Om Prakash, respondent nos. 2 to 4, for a sum of Rs. 10,000/-. Subsequently the said plot was sold by respondent nos. 2 to 4 in favour of complaisant Amir Singh on 25-4-1969 for a sum of Rs. 15,000/-. Subsequently the complainant came to know that the said land was mortgaged to Bhoomi Nibandhak Tatha Vikas Bank, Muzaffarnagar. The said Bank took steps for sale of the property and the complainant had to pay Rs. 9562/- to the Bank.
